The Mahindra Thar 5-door lifestyle off-road vehicle is one of the most talked about upcoming products in the Indian automotive industry. The model has been in testing for a long time and is now taking its final shape prior to its official debut on 15th August 2024. Recently, the SUV’s test mules were spotted in three different color schemes – Black, White, and Red. Compared to the 3-door Thar, the 5-door version will certainly be longer, more premium, and a more capable off-roader. A few cosmetic changes will further distinguish it from its younger sibling.
