The highly anticipated Mahindra Thar 5-door, possibly named the Thar Armada, has been making waves with its recent sightings sporting a dual-pane sunroof. This feature sets it apart as one of the few ladder-frame SUVs to offer such a luxurious touch. Expected to offer more creature comforts than its 3-door counterpart, the Thar Armada is rumored to come in a 5-seater layout and offer multiple powertrain options.
The sighting of the dual-pane sunroof on the Thar Armada suggests the possibility of a higher variant than initially anticipated. This unique feature is currently not available on any ladder-frame SUV in India, making the Thar stand out among its competitors.
In terms of powertrain options, the Thar Armada is expected to offer three choices: an entry-level 1.5-litre diesel for a competitive starting price, a 2.2-litre diesel, and a 2.0-litre turbo petrol. The latter two engines are likely to come with 4WD capabilities, while the entry-level diesel may feature an RWD setup.
Although official bookings have not started, select Mahindra dealers are reportedly accepting unofficial bookings for the Thar 5-door. Customers who book the 3-door variant are assured that their bookings will be converted to the 5-door model once available.
With its innovative features and versatile powertrain options, the Mahindra Thar Armada is set to make a significant impact in the SUV market upon its launch. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new vehicle.
