The Mahindra Thar five-door is one of the most anticipated models lined up for launch next year. It has been in development for quite some time now, and recently, new spy shots of the Mahindra Thar five-door interior have surfaced online. These new spy shots are of the interior of this SUV and highlight a number of new additions. Two of the major highlights of the new interior of the upcoming Thar five-door are that it will come with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system as well as an electric single-pane sunroof. There are other additions as well.
Thar five-door’s interior details
These latest spy shots of the interior of the Mahindra Thar have come courtesy of Carversal. Starting with one of the standout upgrades on the interior of the new five-door Thar is its new steering wheel. The new SUV will come equipped with a more sophisticated steering wheel, which we see on the XUV700 and Scorpio N. This steering wheel comes with infotainment system controls as well as cruise control buttons. Apart from it, the car will get roof-mounted speakers. This speaker can be seen right above the driver-side seat.
Now coming to the main highlights of the new Thar five-door’s interior. It can be noted that the SUV will get a much bigger 10-inch infotainment system in the center. Mahindra will offer this system with its proprietary ADRENOX connected car technology software. Additionally, just below the new infotainment screen, Mahindra has added a number of quick-use buttons. These buttons will control various features in the upcoming Thar five-door.
As mentioned in the beginning, one of the biggest upgrades on the new Thar five-door’s hardtop will be the addition of a sunroof. Unlike the XUV700, it will be an electric single-pane sunroof. The operational buttons for the sunroof have been positioned in the front reading lamp area like other conventional models. Lastly, the Mahindra Thar five-door will get four power window switches on each of its four doors. Currently, the three-door Thar offers only two functional windows, and their controls are positioned in the middle of the console. Apart from these, most of the things are the same as the outgoing Thar three-door.
Thar five-door exterior upgrades
Coming to the exterior updates of the forthcoming Thar five-door, recent spy shots have revealed a few new key details. The new Thar will come equipped with a different design for the front grille. It will come equipped with a new 6-slat design instead of the traditional 7-slat grille on the three-door Thar. Another unique detail about this new grille is that it gets a horizontal slat in the lower part, which divides the grille into two parts. The part above is larger than the one below. Apart from this, the new five-door Thar also was seen with new LED projector headlights, which also had LED DRLs integrated into them.
Thar five-door drivetrain
On the powertrain front, Mahindra will most likely not offer any new engine option with this SUV. It will continue to offer the engines from the outgoing Thar three-door. Presently, the Mahindra Thar three-door model comes available with 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol and 2.2-liter diesel engine options in the four-wheel-drive variants. Reports have stated that the 5-door Thar will retain both of these engine options in a higher state of tune in order to have enough power to manage the addition of the added weight with new middle doors and other additions inside the cabin. As for the launch of the Thar five-door, most likely it will take place next year.
