The Thar 5-door is expected to slug it out with the likes of the 5-door versions of Force Gurkha & Maruti Suzuki Jimny and a combination of rugged off-road capability and everyday practicality will be offered in equal shares.
The Upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-Door
The Thar 5-door was captured in the image in a bright red shade, featuring all its tough design elements. While keeping the characteristic Thar lineage intact, this model adorns flared wheel arches purpose-built for off-road capability; a redesigned front grille with modern touches, and circular LED headlamps delivering superior lighting. Vertically oriented taillamps and a tail-mounted spare tire carry over from the 3-door, allowing two extra doors without any compromise in style.
The interior of the Thar 5-door highlights comfort and utility, with plenty of space inside. Rear seat folding further enhances rear boot utility as the second-row legroom is generous. The upmarket furnishings and dual-tone upholstery options add to the luxury quotient of the cabin, while creature comforts include features such as automatic climate control with rear AC vents, and an electric sunroof. Other technological enhancements in the SUV are a full-digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone integration.
Mahindra lays a strong focus on safety with class-leading features for that all-important peace of mind, be it in city driving or off-road tips. The list of expected has also appeared: a range-wide advanced safety suite that includes multiple airbags, as well as a 360-degree camera system for better visibility; front parking sensors and four-wheel disc brakes will provide superior stopping power.
The powertrain offerings are the same as the 3-door, which means customers can choose between a powerful 2.0-litre petrol engine producing a peak output of 150 HP and maximum torque of at least 300 NM. Transmission choices are limited to a slick 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic, providing support for different driving situations on appropriate terrains with its RWD & AWD configuration.
Priced competitively between ₹15-20 lakh (ex-showroom), the Mahindra Thar 5-door aims to attract adventure-seeking consumers prioritizing capability and style. With its rugged yet refined design, advanced features, and proven off-road capability, the Thar 5-door aims to establish a distinctive presence in the SUV segment, aligning with Mahindra’s strategy to expand its SUV portfolio and strengthen its market position.
