Mahindra Thar 5-door will have more premium features on offer, will likely be called Armada
Mahindra has officially started production of the much-awaited Thar 5 port at its factory in Chakan. Set to potentially be called the Thar Armada at launch, this new model is expected to attract significant attention from SUV enthusiasts in 2024.
Responding to strong interest from dealers, Mahindra has significantly increased its production plans for the Thar 5-door. Initially targeting a monthly production of around 2,500 units, the company has now doubled that to approximately 5,000-6,000 units per month. This adjustment could result in an annual production of around 70,000 units, underlining the strong demand and high expectations for the new model.
The Thar 5-door aims to address the practical limitations of its three-door predecessor. With a longer wheelbase, the new model promises greater cabin space and much-needed luggage capacity. This makes it a more viable option for families and those who need additional space for their travels.
Mahindra plans to offer the Thar 5-Door with multiple powertrain options to cater to a wide audience. These include an entry-level 1.5-litre RWD diesel engine, 2.2-litre diesel engine with 4WD, and a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. Additionally, automatic transmission options are expected for each engine variant, which should particularly appeal to urban users.
The Thar 5 port will also come equipped with a range of advanced features and security technologies. Higher variants will include multiple airbags and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Other notable features expected on the new model include multiple infotainment screen options, premium upholstery, LED lighting and a choice of alloy wheel designs light. Higher-end variants may also offer a panoramic sunroof.
While the introduction of the Thar 5-door is anticipated to boost Mahindra’s sales, it could also impact the sales of its other popular SUV models such as the Scorpio Classic, Scorpio N and XUV700. Despite this, the company seems confident in the Thar 5-door’s potential to attract a new segment of customers.
While official bookings for the Thar 5-door are yet to begin, some dealers have started accepting unofficial bookings. More details about the model, including pricing and official booking dates, are expected to emerge in the coming months.
