Author’s Note
The fact that the customer previews are going on unequivocally confirms that Mahindra is on the brink of launching the 5-door Thar in our market. The 5-door Mahindra Thar has been undergoing extensive testing for a considerable period. It has been sighted in diverse locations, including the demanding terrains of the Himalayas, demonstrating the thorough testing efforts by the Indian automaker on this robust off-roader. Additionally, the extended wheelbase will result in a more commodious cabin and an enlarged boot space, which will alleviate the space constraint seen in the current 3-door model. Consequently, the 5-door Thar is poised to elevate its practicality. However, we must exercise patience as we await the official unveiling of the final production version.
