Mahindra Thar 5-Door Launch Soon – Viral Spy Shot Confirms Bigger Infotainment Unit
Mahindra has been developing the 5-door version of the Thar SUV for quite some time now. However, the latest set of spy shots of the Mahindra Thar 5-door test mules reveal that the SUV might have reached its final stage of the development process.
Analysing the latest spy shot, we can see that the 5-door version of the Mahindra Thar test mule now sports a new infotainment unit. This new infotainment unit is likely to be the more advanced 8-inch unit from the Mahindra Scorpio N SUV.
That being said, the spy shots also reveal the interior of the test mule to be in production form - Indicating the development of the Thar 5-door SUV has reached its final phase. This means the automaker is left with a job of a few minor tweaks before commencing production.
That being said, the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door is one of the most anticipated models in the country, and we expect this model to be revealed before the year-end. Moreover, Mahindra had earlier confirmed that the launch of the Mahindra Thar 5-door SUV has been postponed to 2024.
Speaking about the Mahindra Thar 5-door, the basic design of the model is expected to be quite similar to the outgoing 3-door version of the Mahindra Thar SUV. However, we do expect the model to come with slightly more premium bits around the outside and inside to justify the premium pricing.
Along with the minor design changes, we also expect the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door SUV to come with more features apart from the larger infotainment unit. This is likely to include features such as LED lighting, an electric sunroof, USB-C charging ports, rear AC vents, and more.
The upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door SUV is also likely to sport the same engine options as the Mahindra Scorpio N SUV. This is because the Thar 5-door SUV uses a slightly modified version of the Scorpio N platform.
In the Mahindra Scorpio N SUV, the 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine produces 200bhp and 370Nm of torque. On the other hand, the higher-spec diesel engine puts out 172.5bhp and 400Nm of peak torque.
That being said, we do not expect the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door SUV to come equipped with the lower-spec diesel engine that does its duty in the lower-spec variants of the Scorpio N SUV. Furthermore, we do not expect the Thar 5-door to come without the 4WD layout.
That being said, we expect all variants of the Thar 5-door to be offered with low-ratio transfer case, and mechanically locking differentials. On top of that, the model will also be offered with both automatic and manual transmission options.
In terms of pricing, we expect the Thar 5-door SUV to be at least Rs 2.5 lakh more expensive than the equivalent 3-door version of the Mahindra Thar SUV. Moreover, we expect the most expensive variant of the Thar 5-door SUV to be priced below the most expensive variant of the Scorpio N SUV.
