Mahindra Thar [2020-2025] News - Stay updated with the latest news on Mahindra Thar [2020-2025].

<p>Mahindra has rejigged the variant lineup of the Thar, bringing notable changes to the popular off-roader’s portfolio. All convertible top variants have been discontinued as part of this update, leaving buyers with hard top and fixed roof options. The move signals a strategic shift towards enhancing production capacity as customer demand increasingly leans towards more robust and weatherproof configurations. While the convertible top added a distinct lifestyle appeal to the Thar, its removal simplifies the range and aligns with evolving market expectations. The refreshed lineup continues to target adventure seekers while broadening its mainstream appeal. Meanwhile, reports suggest Mahindra is preparing a mid-life facelift for the Thar, internally known as the W515. The refreshed model is expected to borrow design cues from the 5-door Thar and introduce new features like&nbsp;a factory-fitted sunroof on hard top versions, a bigger infotainment touchscreen, and a fully digital instrument cluster.</p><h2>Mahindra Thar Variant Lineup Rejigged: Key Details</h2><p>Mahindra has overhauled the Thar’s variant lineup, slashing the number of available variant options from 19 to just 11. As part of this revision, the brand has dropped the top-tier LX convertible models, along with the AX 4WD and LX 4WD variants featuring an open differential. Of the eight trims that have been discontinued, two were petrol-powered while the remaining six were diesel versions. It is important to highlight that these changes exclusively impact the 4WD offerings, with the RWD range remaining untouched.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mahindra-be-6-xev-9e-deliveries-cross-3000-units-waiting-period-extends-to-6-months-120360/">Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e Deliveries Cross 3,000 Units; Waiting Period Extends to 6 Months</a></p><p>Post the update, the AX(O) 1.5-litre diesel RWD hard top stands as the sole entry-level AX model in the portfolio.

Mahindra Thar Waiting Period Reaches up to 52 Weeks in India

The waiting period for the Mahindra Thar has been revealed for the Indian market. If you are planning to buy this Mahindra SUV, here's how long you have to wait.

<p>For more than a year, the Mahindra Thar five-door has been one of the most awaited SUV launches in the country. The upcoming model is scheduled to make its debut next year and a production-ready version was recently spotted undergoing testing on the Indian roads. Now, in a recent development related to the offroader, the leading homegrown carmaker&nbsp;has registered seven monikers&nbsp;as trademarks. With this,&nbsp;it appears that the company is in the process of&nbsp;deciding on a name for the Thar 5-door production model.&nbsp;The revived Armada is one of seven possible names, currently being linked to the forthcoming SUV.&nbsp;Among the seven trademarked names for the car&nbsp;are Thar Armada, Thar Savannah, Thar Gladius, Thar Cult, Thar Rex, Thar Roxx, and Thar Centurion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Given its long history in the Indian market, the 5-door model may be dubbed the Thar Armada. For those who are unaware, it&nbsp;was a well-liked SUV that dates back to the 1990s and was sold in India for about ten years. It was eventually mostly superseded by the enduring Bolero.</p>

<h2>Mahindra Thar 5-Door: Exterior Changes</h2>

<p>In addition to its new name, the Mahindra Thar 5-door will significantly differ&nbsp;from the 3-door model in several ways. A bunch of external modifications, like a multi-slat front&nbsp;grille, improved LED headlights,&nbsp;tall pillars, new alloy wheels, a revamped bumper, a single pane sunroof, vertical taillamps,&nbsp;a spare wheel mounted on the tailgate, and of course, two more doors, have been revealed in spy photos of test mules. It will have a boxy profile with a flat roofline.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Mahindra Thar 5-Door: Powertrain Options</h2>

<p>There will likely&nbsp;be two engine options available for the 5-door Thar: a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine. The former produces 150bhp of maximum power and 300-320Nm of peak torque, whereas the latter belts out 130bhp and 300Nm of torque. Given that the upcoming&nbsp;5-door Thar will be substantially larger than the 3-door Thar, power and torque outputs may vary.&nbsp;Along with 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain options, prospective customers can opt for a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. It is not certain yet if the smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine will be installed in a 4x2 setup like the 3-door Thar.</p>

<h2>Mahindra Thar 5-Door: Features</h2>

<p>On the feature front, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, connected car technology, a more comfortable front armrest, a reworked steering wheel, and speakers positioned in the ceiling are among the anticipated improvements. Even though the addition of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) may raise the cost of the car, certain customers may find this feature appealing. Other conveniences may include&nbsp;dual-zone climate control, a digital instrument panel,&nbsp;rear AC vents, and cruise control.</p>

<h2>Mahindra Thar 5-Door: Expected Price</h2>

<p>The new Mahindra off-roader is expected to retail for between Rs 15 lakh to Rs 18 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom) when it goes on sale at some point next year. The SUV will directly compete with the Maruti Suzuki Jimny when it is released in India.</p>

<p>Furthermore, additional variants may be introduced&nbsp;by the automaker, which could draw attention to a number of the recently registered names. After all, aficionados are keeping track of the days before the official launch of the Thar 5-door, which is expected to be a historic moment for the Indian car market.</p>
