Mahindra Thar 5-Door
In the realm of Mahindra, the Thar is expanding its horizons with a 5-door version. Retaining the essence of its 3-door counterpart, the elongated platform welcomes two additional doors. Packed with features like a sunroof, versatile seating options, an upgraded touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, and a reverse parking camera, it’s the off-road dream. The engine lineup echoes the 3-door Thar but with tweaks for an extra dose of power and torque.

Shifting gears to Tata, the Safari is undergoing a transformation with the introduction of petrol variants. Currently running on a 2.0L diesel engine, the upcoming version will showcase a 1.5L four-cylinder turbo GDI petrol engine, flexing its muscles with 168 hp power and 280Nm torque. Available with a 6-speed manual and DCT gearbox, it’s set to redefine the Safari experience.

Force Gurkha 5-Door
Force Motors is also in the mix with the Gurkha 5-door, an extended version of its 3-door counterpart undergoing rigorous testing. Sporting familiar headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, captain seat options in the third row, and a snorkel for water adventures, it’s a force to be reckoned with. The robust Mercedes-sourced 2.6L FM CR diesel engine, delivering 91 hp power through a 5-speed manual gearbox, ensures it’s ready for any terrain.
