(Patrika English News): Mahindra is gearing up to launch the much-awaited Thar 5-Door, also expected to be called the Thar Roxx, in 2025. After the success of the 3-door Thar, which was appreciated for its rugged off-road capability but considered compact for family use, the new 5-door version promises more practicality with added comfort and features.
Bigger Size, Bolder Look
The Thar 5-Door will feature a longer wheelbase, ensuring improved legroom and comfort for rear passengers. Exterior upgrades are expected to include:
Full-LED headlamps with new LED DRLs
Redesigned front grille
Larger alloy wheels
These subtle yet important changes will give the SUV a more commanding road presence.
Interior and Features Upgrade
Mahindra is also focusing on enhancing the interior to make the Thar 5-Door family-friendly without losing its rugged appeal. Key highlights include:
Larger infotainment screen with digital instrument cluster
Rear AC vents, premium upholstery, and possible dual-zone climate control
360-degree camera, ADAS features in higher trims
Six airbags, front parking sensors, wireless charging
The SUV will be offered in RWD and 4WD options, with both manual and automatic transmissions available.
Engine and Performance
The Thar 5-Door is expected to come with three engine choices:
1.5-litre diesel (entry-level)
2.2-litre diesel
2.0-litre turbo petrol
Top-end variants will feature a 4×4 drivetrain for serious off-road enthusiasts. Mahindra is also likely to improve suspension tuning, ground clearance, and durability to strengthen its off-road capabilities.
Launch Date and Price
Mahindra has announced that the Thar 5-Door will launch on August 15, 2025.
Expected Price (Ex-Showroom):
Base Variant: Around ₹15 lakh
Top-End 4×4 Automatic Variant: Around ₹20 lakh
This places the Thar 5-Door above the 3-door model, justified by its added practicality, advanced features, and bigger size.
Who Should Buy It?
The Mahindra Thar 5-Door is aimed at buyers who want a rugged SUV for off-roading, but also need the practicality of a family car. With more space, better comfort, and advanced safety features, it will appeal to adventure lovers who also enjoy long trips with family and friends.
