Mahindra Thar, the popular SUV model from Mahindra, is all set to expand its lineup with the introduction of a 5-door version. Spy shots of the upcoming SUV have surfaced, showcasing the addition of a sunroof. The new Thar 5-door is expected to be feature-rich and cater to buyers who desire a rugged and practical lifestyle SUV, while maintaining the character of the 3-door model.
Price Announcement and Engine Options
The launch of the Mahindra Thar 5-door is scheduled for the year 2024. It will be available with both petrol and diesel engine options, offering customers a choice based on their preferences and requirements.
Sunroof and Seating Options
One of the notable additions in the Thar 5-door is the inclusion of a sunroof, as confirmed by the recent spy shots. Additionally, the SUV will offer multiple seating options, including two individual seats for the second row. These features enhance the overall comfort and convenience for the passengers.
Enhanced Features and Interior Upgrades
Compared to the Thar 3-door, the 5-door variant will come with a longer list of features. Mahindra plans to equip the Thar 5-door with a front centre armrest, an updated touchscreen infotainment system, and increased storage spaces in the cabin. Moreover, the interior will boast better quality materials, elevating the overall feel and ambience of the vehicle.
Launch Date and Mahindra’s Focus on Existing Orders
While the anticipation for the Thar 5-door is high among enthusiasts, Mahindra has clarified that the launch will take place in the year 2024. Currently, the company is focused on clearing the existing order backlog, which includes over two lakh units of various SUVs like the Thar 3-door, XUV700, Scorpio N, and Scorpio Classic. Therefore, the introduction of new SUVs in the Indian market will be prioritized only after fulfilling the pending orders.
Rajesh Jejurikar, the Executive Director & CEO (Auto and Farm Sector) at Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd., confirmed the launch timeline, stating, “Our 5-door Thar is not coming in this calendar year, much as many folks are speculating it is. It’s a 2024 [calendar year] launch.”
Upcoming Updates: XUV300 Compact SUV
In addition to the Thar 5-door, Mahindra is also preparing a major update for the XUV300 compact SUV, scheduled for a 2024 launch. This update will bring new enhancements and features to further improve the overall experience for customers.
Exciting Times Ahead for Mahindra Thar Enthusiasts
The expansion of the Mahindra Thar lineup with the introduction of a 5-door version, along with the inclusion of a sunroof and other desirable features, is sure to excite SUV enthusiasts in India. With a launch planned for 2024, customers can look forward to a more versatile and feature-laden Thar experience. Furthermore, Mahindra’s focus on clearing pending orders reflects its commitment to delivering customer satisfaction.
