HomeNews2024 Mahindra Thar 5 Door Spied New Details Emerge

Published : 30 October 2023

Read Time : 5 min

Mahindra are all set to launch the Thar 5 Door next year. Ahead of its launch, Mahindra are testing the Thar 5 Door over various terrains and numerous spy shots of the SUV can be found on the interwebs. Recently, the 5 door Thar was spotted testing on video in Leh, Ladakh, revealing a few key changes over the Thar 3 Door that is sold currently. Let’s take a look.

2024 Mahindra Thar 5 Door

2024 Thar 5 Door New Details Emerge

The latest spy shots of the Thar 5 Door reveal a few key interesting details over the Thar 3 Door. Apart from the increased length and extra set of doors, the most obvious change in the new spy shots are the Thar 5 Door’s LED projector headlamps and LED fog lamps. In comparison, the Thar 3 Door offers halogen headlamps and fog lamps even in its top-spec variant. The new spy shots also show the revamped 6-slot vertical grille on the Thar 5 Door. At the rear, the latest Thar 5 Door test mule features revamped tail lamp graphics. The taillamps are likely to feature bulb-type illumination while the turn indicators could use LED elements.

Mahindra Thar 5 Door

Previous spy shots of the Thar 5 Door also revealed a few interior details, such as a new steering wheel borrowed from the XUV700, and a larger touchscreen infotainment system as well. These new features are likely to make the Thar 5 Door feel more upmarket than its 3 Door sibling.

Apart from the new touchscreen infotainment system, the new Thar 5 Door is also likely to offer a lot more creature comfort features over the Thar 3 Door. These features could include front and rear armrests, an updated instrument cluster, rear AC vents, automatic climate control, and a reverse parking camera. 

The new Thar 5 door is likely to offer the following set of features:

  • New infotainment system
  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
  • New instrument cluster
  • Front armrest
  • Rear armrest
  • Automatic climate control
  • Electric sunroof

An earlier image of the Thar 5 Door confirmed a single-pane electric sunroof on a metal roof for the SUV.

2024 Mahindra Thar 5 Door Powertrain Details

In terms of powertrains, we expect the new Thar 5 Door to retain the same 2.2L turbo diesel and the 2.0L turbo petrol engine options as the Thar 3 Door. However, both engines could offer more power and torque than the Thar 3 Door to overcome the extra weight. Both engine options are likely to come with manual and automatic transmission options along with 2WD and 4WD drivetrains. In the Scorpio N, the 2.2L turbo diesel engine comes in 2 states of tune — 130PS and 175PS. We expect Mahindra to offer the Thar 5 Door diesel with the higher power output while the Thar 5 Door petrol is expected to produce 200PS of power from its 2.0L turbo petrol engine.

2024 Mahindra Thar 5 Door Launch Details

While earlier rumours suggested Mahindra are planning to launch the Thar 5 door by the end of 2023, a spokesperson for the brand confirmed it will only go on sale in 2024. Hence, it is safe to say that Mahindra could reveal the Thar 5 door in early 2024 and launch it soon after. The new Thar 5 door will not have any direct rivals, save for the Force Gurkha 5 door, which is also slated for a 2024 launch.

Government Allows E100 Fuel For Flex Fuel Cars

Government Allows E100 Fuel For Flex-Fuel Cars – What Changes For Buyers?

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) have amended the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, to formally recognise E100 fuel for compatible flex-fuel vehicles.  The change creates a clearer regulatory pathway for automakers to develop and certify vehicles that can run on higher ethanol blends, including fuel containing 100% ethanol. However, it does not mean that existing petrol cars can use E100 or that the fuel will become available at every petrol pump immediately.
