More Practical, Same Rugged DNA
The Mahindra Thar has always been a symbol of adventure and off-road capability. Now, with the 5-door version, it aims to be more practical for daily use while retaining its rugged charm. This new variant adds two rear doors and increased space, making it more family-friendly without compromising on off-road performance.
Design and Space: Big and Bold
Visually, the 5-door Thar retains the iconic Jeep-like design but now with an extended wheelbase and longer body. The additional doors blend seamlessly with the design. Inside, the cabin feels roomier, especially in the second row where passengers get better legroom and easier access.
Performance: Still a Beast
Powering the 5-door Thar are the same reliable engines — a 2.0L turbo-petrol and a 2.2L diesel. Both engines are tuned for better highway stability and off-road performance. The 4×4 system, high ground clearance, and improved suspension make it equally capable in rough terrains.
Features and Comfort
The cabin now gets more creature comforts like a larger infotainment screen, rear AC vents, and improved seat cushioning. It’s no luxury SUV, but Mahindra has balanced toughness with usability well. Safety features include dual airbags, ABS, ESC, and rear parking sensors.
Verdict
If you love the Thar’s character but wanted more space, the 5-door version is the answer. It remains a true-blue off-roader but now adds practicality for families and longer journeys.
