It’s been over a year since Mahindra has been testing its off-roader, the Thar five-door. Now, ahead of its official debut in 2024, a set of spy shots have surfaced on the net, hinting at some new updates.
As seen from these spy images, the upcoming five-door off-roader will get a new vertically slatted front grille, tweaked front and rear bumpers, LED projector headlamps with LED indicators and DRLs, and reprofiled taillamps. Inside, the Thar five-door is expected to come with a large touchscreen infotainment screen, front seats with armrests, single-pane sunroof, and a bench seat setup for the second row.
Under the skin, the SUV is likely to be powered by a 2.0-litre petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel engine. The former generates 150bhp and 320Nm of torque while the latter belts out 130bhp and 300Nm of torque. The transmission duties will be handled by a six-speed manual and a six-speed torque converter.
We expect the Thar five-door to go on sale in the country early next year. Apart from this, the automaker is also working on the updated version of the XUV300.
