The spy shots reveal the Mahindra Thar 5-door test mule sporting a digital console that should pack more features and information, alongside a new floating touchscreen infotainment system. The model will also pack a single-pane electric sunroof, push-button start/stop, auto-dimming IRVM, auto climate control, rear AC vents and more. Mahindra could also go a step further and offer ventilated seats in the front row that were recently added on the 2024 XUV700.

The 2024 Mahindra Thar 5-door will also get notable changes to the exterior. Expect to see a slightly revised grille, LED headlamps and taillights, new fog lamps, tweaked bumpers at the front and rear, and new 19-inch alloy wheels.

Power will come from the familiar petrol and diesel engines on the Thar 5-door. Expect to see the 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre turbo petrol, paired with a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission. Power will go to all four wheels via the 4x4 system, while a rear-wheel drive option could be offered to keep the entry price low. The Thar 5-door is likely to be priced from under Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards and will primarily take on the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door and the upcoming Force Gurkha 5-door, which is also in the works.
