Reports are suggesting that Mahindra is working on a 5-door version of the Thar. But, the launch won’t happen anytime soon. Given the massive demand for the current 3-door Thar, Mahindra sees an opportunity to launch a 5-door version. With the plans of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door version coming to India soon, this 5-door Thar will prove to be its chief main competitor. The engine and mechanicals will remain the same as the 3-door Thar. But, to accommodate an accessible second-row via rear doors, Mahindra will have to increase the wheelbase.
