Mahindra Thar 5 Door - Design and Features 

The latest spy shots show what seems to be the top-end version of the Thar 5-door. This prototype features new 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, with previous sightings indicating three different wheel options will be available. Additionally, a recent image reveals a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, borrowed from the new XUV3XO.

The new Thar 5-door will feature several upgrades over the 3-door variant including a redesigned grille, bumpers, a rear wiper and a remote fuel-filling cap. It will also come equipped with LED lights all around, a fully digital instrument cluster, push-button start-stop, front and rear centre armrests, a sunroof and rear AC vents, among other amenities.

Mahindra Thar 5 Door - Engine 

Under the hood, the Thar 5-door is expected to use the same engines as the Mahindra Scorpio N due to the additional weight compared to the 3-door version. It will get two engine options - a 2.2-litre diesel engine and a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Both these engines produce a power output of 175 bhp and 203 bhp. The SUV will be available in both 4WD and 2WD options.
