The 5-door Mahindra Thar Armada, which is more upscale and roomier than its 3-door sibling, would go on sale in India the following month.
On August 15, 2024, Mahindra & Mahindra has formally announced that the much-anticipated 5-door Thar will make its debut.
The new five-door Thar is now being produced in series by the firm, and unofficial reservations for the SUV are now being accepted at numerous Mahindra shops throughout India. It will be positioned above the Maruti Suzuki Jimny in the market and will face off against the newly released five-door Force Gurkha. The new Thar will use a ladder-frame chassis and borrow many features from the well-liked Scorpio N.
Compared to the present three-door variant, the new five-door Thar’s design has undergone several modest changes. It has a redesigned front grille, longer rear doors to fit the increased wheelbase, newly designed alloy wheels, rear door handles that are now mounted on the door frame, and LED projector headlamps with C-shaped LED daytime running lights.
There is a significant improvement to the interior, which includes several high-end amenities and cutting-edge technologies. A redesigned central console and a dual-tone black and white dashboard will be features of the cabin. It will also include a panoramic sunroof, power-operated and ventilated front passenger and driver seats, and new seat upholstery.
A 10.25-inch floating touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, six airbags as standard, Level 2 ADAS technology, automated climate control, and a fully digital instrument dashboard are among the other noteworthy features. It will have three engines under the hood: a 1.5L diesel, a 2.2L diesel, and a 2.0L gasoline.
Presently, the 2.2L mHawk four-cylinder diesel engine generates 175 PS and 400 Nm, while the 2.0L mStallion four-cylinder petrol engine generates 200 PS and 380 Nm. Another option is the 1.5L diesel engine, which can produce 300 Nm and 117 PS. The gearbox options will include a six-speed torque converter AT or a six-speed manual.
