Mahindra Thar 5-door
The Mahindra Thar, initially available only as a 3-door model, is now set to get a 5-door sibling.

To improve the vehicle’s handling and ride comfort, Mahindra is equipping the new Thar with its advanced pentalink suspension system, featuring a Watt’s Linkage setup at the rear. Under the hood, customers will have a choice between two potent engines: a 150 PS 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine and a 130 PS 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Of course, the 4×4 capability will be retained, complemented by a low-ratio transfer case for off-road enthusiasts.
