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.

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.

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:

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.
