New spy images of the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door have surfaced online, revealing what appears to be the SUV’s production-spec bodywork.<\/p>\n
The latest test mule of the Thar 5-door was sporting a brand-new grille. As you can see, it’s a 6-slat design with a horizontal split in the middle. It is flanked by circular headlamps, with LED daytime running lights positioned on the flared fenders. The chunky front bumper also houses a set of fog lamps.<\/p>\n
Mahindra is likely to introduce new 5-spoke alloy wheels on the 5-door version. Eagle-eyed readers will notice the openable rear windscreen and side steps. Inside, the SUV is expected to get a larger touchscreen head unit.<\/p>\n
The Thar 5-door will be offered with the same engine options as the 3-door version. These include a 2.2-litre diesel producing 130 BHP and 300 Nm and a 2.0-litre petrol that makes 150 BHP and 300-320 Nm. Both engines are likely to be offered with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.<\/p>\n
