Mahindra Automotive, a prominent player in the SUV market, is generating excitement with the imminent launch of the Thar five-door model, tentatively named Armada. This eagerly awaited addition to Mahindra’s lineup combines the rugged charm of the Thar with a new level of sophistication and functionality.
Exterior Design Reimagined:
The Thar’s evolution is evident in its reimagined exterior, featuring a distinctive front grille with six vertical slats, enhanced LED headlights, and 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The addition of two extra doors and vertically mounted handles enhances both style and functionality, marking a departure from its three-door predecessor.
Sneak Peek Inside:
Inside the cabin, a dual-tone color scheme welcomes occupants, complemented by a spacious 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Auxiliary buttons, automatic climate control, and a multifunction steering wheel borrowed from the Mahindra Scorpio-N and XUV700 add a touch of sophistication. The inclusion of new roof-mounted speakers and a single-pane electric sunroof promises an immersive driving experience.
Power and Performance:
Under the hood, the Thar five-door is expected to offer the choice between a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-liter diesel engine. Both manual and automatic transmission options will be available, ensuring versatility and performance on diverse terrains.
Price Point and Competition:
While pricing details are yet to be revealed, the Thar five-door is positioned as a premium offering in the 4×4 segment. Competing with the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the upcoming Force Gurkha five-door, the Thar aims to set new standards in adventure and style.
