Mahindra Thar 5-Door: What To Expect?

The upcoming 5-door Thar, possibly named the Armada, draws inspiration from its sibling in terms of design. It will feature redesigned circular LED headlights with projectors and a revamped grille, maintaining similar overall element placement seen in the 3-door model.

At the rear, there will be subtle tweaks expected in the taillights. The dimensions are set to be larger, including a longer wheelbase for enhanced stability and interior space. On the sides, there'll be a slight refresh in the window frame style, adding to its updated appearance. Recently, ahead of its launch, the model's alloy wheels have already been spotted in Delhi.

Mahindra Thar 5-Door: Features Details

In past sightings, we've seen both lower-end and top-end variants of the Thar. The entry-level version seems to have steel wheels, while mid and top-tier models are likely to have alloy wheels. Various test mule spy shots also reveal different configurations, with some showing a single-pane sunroof and others featuring a dual-pane sunroof.

Additional notable amenities expected include a full LED lighting setup, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a similarly sized fully digital instrument cluster. The car is also anticipated to offer dual-zone climate control, cruise control, six airbags, a 360-degree camera, ABS with EDB, Hill hold assist, and ISOFIX child-seat anchors among other options.

A significant highlight of this model is its anticipated Level 2 ADAS features, such as Blind Spot Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assist.

Under the hood, the upcoming model is expected to share its engine choices with its 3-door counterpart: a 2.2-litre mHawk turbo-diesel and a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Transmission options will include both 6-speed manual and automatic.

It's anticipated to have slightly enhanced performance capabilities. In terms of drivetrain, all-wheel drive configurations are likely to be available. Additionally, there are speculations that alongside these options, there will be a smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine tailored for entry-level variants, paired exclusively with rear-wheel drive.

As the launch date approaches, slated for around August 15th, the anticipated price range is expected to fall between 15 to 20 lakh rupees. This places it in direct competition with models such as the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the 5-door Force Gurkha.
