The Mahindra Thar is a popular SUV in India that sells out quickly despite a long waiting period of six months to a year. The company is now introducing a 5-door version to appeal to younger buyers. This new model is set to launch on August 15th.
The Mahindra 5-Door Thar will compete with the Force Gurkha 5-Door and Maruti Jimny in the market. This is the first time the Thar will come with five doors and a panoramic sunroof. The car will also feature advanced safety technologies, including an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and a 360-degree camera. Here’s what you need to know about its new features and price.
The Mahindra Thar 5-Door will come with a panoramic sunroof for the first time. Unlike the standard electric sunroof, this panoramic roof stretches from the front to the back of the car, providing a better view and more light. The car will also include an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which uses sensors to alert the driver if something or someone gets too close. This system provides both audio and visual warnings to help avoid accidents.
The Thar currently offers engine options of 1497 and 2184 cc. The new model is expected to include a third engine option with over 2 liters of power. It will come with choices of petrol, diesel, and turbo engines. The new Thar will feature circular LED headlights, C-shaped LED DRLs, and sporty alloy wheels. It is anticipated to reach a top speed of 155 km/h.

The Mahindra Thar 5-Door may come with cruise control and six color options. It will include features like a wireless charger and dual front airbags. Buyers will have the choice between manual and automatic transmissions. For off-roading, it will offer heavy suspension and an all-wheel drive option. The new model will have a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system for a premium interior. The company has not yet announced the exact price, but it’s estimated to start at Rs 15 to 22 lakh ex-showroom.
The Mahindra Thar 5-Door will also feature large 16-inch tires. This powerful SUV will deliver 117 hp and 300 Nm of torque. It will include an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The car will have three rows of seats, with a captain seat in the middle and possibly a foldable last seat.
