Thar 3-door is now one of the hottest-selling SUVs in the country. Demand is soaring and with that, the waiting period too has reached new highs. One downside of the Thar is its three-door structure. So to counter that and expand its market Mahindra is getting ready to launch another variant of Thar, the Thar 5-door.
In the recent past, Thar has been spied on multiple times. The frequency suggests that the launch is now near. These latest spy shots of the 2023 Mahindra Thar 5 Door reveal the interiors. Mahindra has already confirmed that 5-door Thar will share the same underpinnings as the Scorpio N’s platform. 81 per cent of this platform uses high-strength steel. For Scorpio N, Mahindra gave priority to chassis stiffness, handling and high-speed manners.
Furthermore, Mahindra mentioned that they will tweak Scorpio’s platform for length alterations for the upcoming Thar 5-Door. Apart from changes in length and wheelbase, Thar’s overall look and feel will remain the same. Recently spy shots of the 2023 Mahindra Thar 5-Door Interiors emerged. Upon close inspection of the snaps, we see a similar dashboard design to the current Thar 3 door. The front seat layout too is also similar.
Rear seats offer decent legroom and we also see good enough boot space on offer as well. The rear seats are in a 50:50 split type and are foldable. Some key features of the SUV include round headlamps, 7 slats front grille, LED DRLs mounted on its fenders, 18” alloy wheels and a lot more. Outgoing Thar’s tailgate will be retained as we are not sure if Mahindra will offer a convertible option with the 2023 Thar 5-door.
With more Features and Specs Mahindra can provide more oomph to the 5-door version as compared to the 3-door version. Figures close to Scorpio N are a possibility too. Unlike the Thar 3-door, the 5-door version will not likely come with 4X4 as standard to get the pricing attractive.
