Mahindra Thar 5-door: Checkout the rear seat legroom & boot space

The Thar 5-door will be offered with the same engine options as the 3-door version.

Having launched the XUV 3XO, Mahindra is now gearing up for the next big launch scheduled for August 15 – the Thar 5-door.

The Thar 5-door will be positioned as a more practical alternative to the 3-door version. To achieve this, Mahindra has extended the wheelbase and added a pair of doors. The latest spy images provide a better idea of the rear seat legroom in the Thar 5-door. As you can see, there is enough space between the front and rear seats for a large jerry can.

The other image shows the boot space. The Thar 5-door has quite a spacious boot with a flat floor. It appears to have enough space for a few large suitcases. The wheel arches do take up some space though.

Being a family SUV, the Thar 5-door will be equipped with several comfort and convenience features. The SUV is expected to get electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, reading lamps for rear passengers, a 10.25-inch touchscreen paired with a 9-speaker Harman-Kardon audio system, a digital instrument cluster and an auto-dimming IRVM.

The Thar 5-door will be offered with the same engine options as the 3-door version. These include a 2.2-litre diesel producing 130 BHP and 300 Nm and a 2.0-litre petrol that makes 150 BHP and 300-320 Nm. Both engines are likely to be offered with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.
