Coming back to the Thar 5-door, it will be the more practical version of the 3-door SUV, thanks to its extra length and added set of doors. The SUV will get the same dashboard layout, but with additional features including a sunroof. And as for what’s underpinning it, the off-roader will be based on the Scorpio N’s platform and gets a revised rear suspension. All details about the Mahindra Thar 5-door can be found in this report. 


As for its powertrain options, the Thar 5-door will get the 150PS 2-litre turbo-petrol and 132PS 2.2-litre diesel engines from the smaller SUV, probably with a bit more power. It should get both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive, the latter with a low-range transfer case for better off-roading. And as for transmission options, it should continue with the existing six-speed manual and six-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.
