Mahindra Thar 5-Door
The recently spotted test mule showcases an new and bigger infotainment touchscreen display measuring around 9 or 10 inches. In contrast, the current 3-Door Mahindra Thar is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment module. This updated touchscreen is housed within a new housing and is anticipated to provide customers with an enhanced interface and overall usage experience. The existing 7-inch touchscreen offers a rather average user interface and experience, lacking sharpness. The introduction of this new touchscreen infotainment exhibit give the Thar 5-Door with noteworthy advantages and establishes a distinctive feature when compared to its 3-Door counterpart.
In addition to the upgraded touchscreen, the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-Door is anticipated to introduce several other new features. A few months ago, a test mule was sighted featuring a single pane sunroof, possibly indicating its inclusion in the Thar lineup with the launch of the 5-Door variant.

Mahindra Thar 5-Door - Engine Options
The upcoming 5-door Thar is projected to retain the current engine lineup, featuring the 2.0-liter petrol and 2.0-liter diesel alternatives. These engines provide respective power and torque outputs of 150bhp/320Nm and 130bhp/300Nm. Drivers can opt for either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Both the petrol and diesel models are expected to incorporate a 4WD system, considering the pivotal role of off-road capabilities in the Thar's appeal.
Verdict
The upcoming introduction of the Mahindra Thar 5-Door stands as one of the most eagerly awaited releases from the company. It is projected that Mahindra will unveil the 5-Door Thar in the beginning of 2024. This variant of the Thar is poised to attract families seeking a 4x4 SUV without having to make concessions on interior space. The present 3-Door Thar isn't a feasible option for larger families due to its limited practicality.
