Now, with this new design, the company is all set to offer more versatility without compromising its legendary off-road capabilities; the new Thar 5 door promises to redefine your driving experience. You can be an off-road enthusiast or a city dweller with a taste for adventure. The Mahindra Thar 5 door is here to deliver unmatched performance and style, irrespective of your driving preferences. Let’s dive into what you can expect from this upcoming beast.
What Do We Know About Mahindra Thar 5 Door?
The company has planned to name its new vehicle Mahindra Thar Roxx, which sounds more like Gen Z, but it’s true. Further, the Mahindra Thar 5 door release date is akin to its predecessor, released four years ago on August 15. Apart from the name of the vehicle, the company has released a teaser video of the Mahindra Thar Roxx, showcasing the features and design of the vehicle.
After looking at the video, we can affirm that the new Mahindra Thar 5 door is the evolved version of the Thar family. Not only is it provided with two extra doors, but it has also added length and a wheelbase. Further, Mahindra Thar Roxx has undergone subtle design changes, including new circular headlights and a new grille.
If you are a Thar enthusiast, you couldn’t resist noticing the changes in the fine details they have brought to the model’s design. For instance, the new LED headlights get C-motif LED DRLs. The bumpers now have a contrasting silver finish, as opposed to the Thar 3-door’s all-black one. Mahindra Thar 5 doors also have wheel arches squared out instead of the round ones of the Thar 3-door. They also now have new LED tail lamps with an inverted C-motif.
What Can We Expect From The New Member Of The Thar Family?
Various media outlets and credible car websites have already started guesstimating the vehicle’s features and prices. According to them, the new Mahindra Thar 5 door will be powered by a 2.0L turbo-petrol motor and a 2.2L diesel engine option. You will also have the choice of a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Mahindra Thar Roxx is most likely to be equipped with:
- a 4×4 drivetrain comprising a low-ratio gearbox
- mechanical locking differential on the rear axle
- Brake-locking front axle
- rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options
On digging down further, we also found that the Mahindra Thar 5 door will be provided with six airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, electronic stability control, and ADAS, which is not surprising as Mahindra is already known for making some of the safest cars like Mahindra XUV 300 in India. Apart from that, the dashboard of the Thar Roxx is akin to the Thar 3 door, but its features have a twist. The car will have premium features like a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keyless entry with push button start, and a 360-degree camera. There are rumors that the car might also include a panoramic sunroof.
Expected Price
The Mahindra Thar 5-door price in India is expected to be around ₹13 lakh and top out at around ₹25 lakh, ex-showroom. Some sources claim that it may start at ₹15 Lakhs and will have two variants to keep the prices competitive. However, the company has not clarified the prices, and it is yet to see how much they will charge for the Mahindra Thar 5 door.
What Mahindra is planning with its new Thar SUV remains to be seen; the teaser only provided a glimpse of the vehicle’s exterior. Mahindra Thar 5 door interior was not visible much in the video, but as per various commentators and enthusiasts, its layout will most likely be identical to its predecessor Thar 3-door.
