All-New Mahindra Thar 5-Door: A Blend of Power and Style
Get ready to hit the roads with a new experience as Mahindra gears up to launch the highly anticipated 5-door Thar. Slated for an August release, this updated model is set to compete head-to-head with the Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha in the Indian market. Let’s dive into what this robust vehicle has to offer.
What’s Under the Hood?
The 3-door Thar currently flaunts a 1.5-litre diesel engine delivering 117hp and 300Nm of torque. This same engine, with a potential power boost, is expected to be packed into the 5-door version. In addition, the 5-door Thar might host a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine option. Drivers can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The choice of 2WD or 4WD modes is likely to be available, providing ample flexibility for both city commutes and off-road adventures.
Safety Gets an Upgrade
Safety is paramount, and Mahindra ensures it with a suite of features in the 5-door Thar. Existing models come with airbags and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), but the new addition is the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). This cutting-edge technology is expected to provide a safer drive by helping to prevent accidents before they occur. The vehicle will still come with the beloved options of 2WD and 4WD, enhancing its versatile appeal.
A Breath of Fresh Air: The Sunroof
One significant upgrade in the new Thar 5-door is the inclusion of a sunroof. Current 3-door models lack this feature, but reports suggest that the new model will feature a single-pane sunroof and removable panels, along with a hard top variant. These changes are also built upon the strong ladder-frame chassis from the existing Scorpio-N, made of solid steel. This ensures that the new model will be just as sturdy and reliable.
Unofficial Bookings of Mahindra Thar
While Mahindra has yet to officially start taking bookings for the Thar 5-door, some dealers have already begun accepting unofficial reservations. The booking amount ranges between ₹25,000 to ₹50,000, indicating a strong interest among potential buyers. It’s worth noting that this new Thar is expected to be about ₹3 lakh more expensive than the current model, given the added features and enhancements.
As the anticipation builds, enthusiasts and potential buyers are eagerly awaiting more details and the official announcement. For those who love a mix of power, style, and cutting-edge technology, the Mahindra Thar 5-door promises to deliver an unmatched driving experience.
