The Thar 5-door will be launched as a more practical alternative to the current Thar in 2024.
Last week, there were reports suggesting that Mahindra was planning to debut the Thar 5-door on August 15 at an event in South Africa. The carmaker has now issued an official statement denying all rumours about the Thar 5-door’s global unveiling.
Official statement:
With reference to multiple media reports indicating that the much-awaited Mahindra Thar 5-Door will debut at a Mahindra Event in South Africa on August 15, we would like to clarify that the launch is not scheduled for this year.
During the recently concluded Quarter Results media interaction, we confirmed that the launch of the Thar 5-Door is scheduled for 2024 in India.
The Thar 5-door will be launched as a more practical alternative to the current Thar, offering extra seats and a large boot. The interior is expected to be similar to the 3-door version.
Reports suggest that the Thar 5-door will get the same engine options as the 3-door Thar. These include a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 2.2-litre diesel.
