Mahindra Thar 5-Door (Scorpio N-Based) Seen Night-Time Testing

Mahindra Thar 5-door seen undergoing night-time road tests on a highway.

  • Upcoming 5-door version of Mahindra Thar will share its underpinnings with the Scorpio N
  • New model to offer same engine options along with a similar interior space

Thereโ€™s no denying the stellar success the second-get Mahindra Thar has been. Even though thereโ€™s a dedicated lot of enthusiasts that swear by the bold design and off-roading capabilities of this SUV, the 3-door layout does limit its popularity. Taking note of that, Mahindra & Mahindra is now close to introducing a 5-door version that will not only have a bigger body-shell but even different underpinnings. A test mule of the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door was recently spied undergoing night-time testing on a highway.

Mahindra Thar 5-door Looks As Big As Scorpio N

Even though the test mules of the 5-door Thar are yet to shed any of that heavy camouflage, the large dimensions of the new SUV are easily apparent. Thereโ€™s a definite increase in the wheelbase, which is thanks to the Scorpio Nโ€™s platform. In fact, the bigger side profile is likely to make the new model look even more like the Jeep Wrangler. As is the case with the 3-door model, even the bigger variant would bear clear discrepancy in the soft parts to ensure the uncanny resemblance doesnโ€™t bother Jeep too much. That said, the large dimensions and the classic design should help the SUV with great street red.

The benefits of the Scorpio N-sourced platform wonโ€™t end here. The new underpinnings should even lead to better-sorted driving dynamics. This would further help the new SUV have a high appeal among family SUV buyers. As expected, even the engines will be shared with the latest-get Scorpio. Hence, the available engine options will include a 2.0-litre mStallaion Petrol and 2.2-litre mHawk diesel. Both the motors will be available with two transmission options- a 6-speed manual and an Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic.

More Capable Off-Roader Than Scorpio N

While the engines will come from the Scorpio N, they will likely see a retune for application in the 5-door Thar. For the uninitiated, the turbo-petrol motor outputs a healthy 200 bhp and 370 Nm on the Scorpio N. Meanwhile, the oil burner produces 172.5 bhp and 400 Nm. Itโ€™s noteworthy that unlike the latest Scorpio, the upcoming Mahindra 5-door variant would come with locking differentials. This should make the new SUV a more capable off-roader than its parts donor.
