Mahindra launched the new-gen 3-door version of the Thar SUV in August 2020. However, ever since its launch, there have been rumours about the development of a more practical version of this capable off-roader. Now, for the first time ever, the 5-door version of the Mahindra Thar has been spotted on test in India. It is expected to be launched early next year.
The all-new Mahindra Thar 5-door SUV was captured on a video undergoing road tests on the outskirts of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. While the SUV was fully camouflaged, its overall silhouette and LED tail lamp make it look unmistakably like a Thar. The upcoming 5-door Thar is likely to be longer and wider than the current model. Moreover, it will get an extended wheelbase too.

The upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door will get a three-row set-up with six or seven-seater layouts. In terms of equipment, it’s likely to remain unchanged. However, Mahindra might add some additional creature comforts to enhance its practicality.
