Mahindra formally denied the rumours that the Thar would be released as a 5-door car. The SUV maker ended the first rumours on the internet, according to The Times of India. They did this with an Instagram post. “Concerning many media reports that the much-anticipated 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 planned for this year,” the tweet reportedly said. During the Quarter Results media session, we noted the Thar 5-Door would be introduced in India in 2024. Mahindra confirmed that the 5-door That will come out in 2024 during the Quarter Results media meeting. So, it would be too soon to show off the car in August of this year. Recent images of the 5-door show it will have a solid metal roof and an electric sunroof. According to the article, the 5-door That will have the same 2.0-liter turbo-petrol and 2.2-liter diesel engines as its 3-door sister. An entertainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, a rear camera, and six airbags can be added as extras. When the new 5-door That comes out, it will go up against cars like the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the 5-door Force Motors Gurkha, which is coming out soon. According to a previous story by India Cars New, the 5-Door Mahindra & Mahindra Thar off-roader SUV will be shown off on India’s 75th Independence Day. This is the same plan used to show off the second-generation Thar. The company planned to hold an event in South Africa on August 15 and 16, 2023. This led to more rumours. The 5-Door Thar, with its longer wheelbase (LWB), will be ready in the second half of this year. This will make it more useful. The 5-Door Maruti Suzuki Jimny, scheduled to go on sale in the first week of June 2023, will be the leading competitor.
