Mahindra Thar 5-door Mid-Variant Exterior

By now, different versions of the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door have been snapped. Top-end variants were seen sporting dual-tone alloys and LED headlights, while we have also snapped the base variant with steel wheels and halogen headlights. 

This time around, the Thar 5-door was seen sporting halogen headlights and monotone alloy rims, leading us to believe that this could be the mid-spec variant. The boxy silhouette remains the same, while like the other test mules, It was seen with LED tail lamps. 

Mahindra Thar 5-door Mid-Variant Interior And Features 

Though not clear, one can see that this mid-spec test mule was sporting analogue dials with a multi-info display from the existing Thar 3-door as opposed to the fully digital driver’s display of the top-end version. 

We also suspect it will rely on a smaller infotainment screen (probably the 8-inch unit from Scorpio N) as opposed to the 10.25-inch unit of the top model. Other bits the middle variant might miss out on include a sunroof, push button start and cruise control. That said, Mahindra might equip it with standard safety features such as six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and rear parking sensors. 

Mahindra Thar 5-door Engine Options

Underneath the hood, the Mahindra Thar 5-door is expected to get the 130PS 2.2-litre diesel and 150PS 2-litre turbo-petrol engines from the smaller model, but probably with bumped up power figures. One can expect both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive options as well as manual and automatic transmissions. 

Mahindra Thar 5-door Expected Price 

The Mahindra Thar 5-door is expected to be priced from around Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom). It will lock horns with the Force Gurkha 5-door, while being a larger alternative to the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
