The Mahindra Thar 5 door is slated for an official launch on August 15, 2024. This new model is eagerly anticipated, offering a more spacious alternative to the popular three door version while retaining the rugged off-road capabilities and iconic design that the Mahindra Thar is known for.
Key features of the Mahindra Thar 5-door include:
- Engine Options: It will likely share the powertrain options with its three-door sibling, featuring a 2.0 liter turbo-petrol engine and a 2.2 liter turbo-diesel engine. There are possibilities of a higher state of tune for these engines in the 5-door model.
- Transmission: Both a 6-speed manual and an optional torque converter automatic transmission will be available. Mahindra might also offer a two-wheel drive option to make the entry-level models more affordable.
- Features: Enhanced features include push-button start/stop, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, auto air conditioning, and safety features such as dual airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, and rear parking sensors.
- Competitors: The Mahindra Thar 5-door will compete with the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door and the Force Gurkha 5-door in the Indian market.
The estimated starting price for the Mahindra Thar 5 door is around INR 15-16 lakh (ex-showroom delhi). This model aims to provide more legroom and comfort while maintaining the robust and adventurous spirit of the Mahindra Thar.
