Mahindra is becoming ready to introduce the brand-new 5-door Thar version, which is likely to be called Thar Armada in a couple of months. Being the most practical and versatile off-road vehicle out there, the new Thar Armada will alter the game with its numerous technological advancements and fresh design improvements when compared to its three-door counterpart.
- New Exterior Design:
- The new Thar Armada is expected to receive some designer changes and tweaks, most likely a new front grill, a new set of alloys, and a newly designed rear LED taillamp setup, given its close resemblance to the three-door model. The new Thar Armada will continue to differentiate itself from its competitors with its exceptional off-road skills and great road presence, even with the dimensions update.
- New Interior Design:
- With a larger touchscreen infotainment system positioned horizontally, similar to the Scorpio-N, at its core, the upcoming Thar Armada is expected to get a new dashboard design. With numerous connected car technologies, this might be roughly 10.25 inches in size and presumably come with Mahindra’s new HMI. An electric sunroof will be available as an extra feature on this version of the Thar Armada. There are undoubtedly further designer upgrades inside, such as a redesigned steering wheel, leatherette upholstery, and possibilities for arm rests for both front and rear passengers.
- Powerful Engine Options:
- The engine choices available for the new Thar Armada will probably be the same as those Mahindra offers for its three-door model. The 2.0-liter Mstallion gasoline engine (152 PS) and the 2.2-liter MHawk diesel engine (132 PS) are expected to power the new Thar Armada. They will be paired with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automated gearbox. Therefore, in addition to the 4×4 variants, the next RWD option for the new Thar Armada will probably be unveiled later this year.
- Rivals:
- Since both the Thar Armada and the Maruti Jimny are expanded versions of their three-door counterparts, they will likely not be direct competitors. Instead, the new Thar Armada is likely to establish a new market niche, with the Force Gurkha 5 Door serving as the ideal competitor. The new Thar will be an entirely practical off-road vehicle with no direct competition at the moment owing to its robust body-on-frame construction and powerful engine options.
- Pricing:
- During the next few months, the new Thar Armada will be formally unveiled. Although the manufacturer hasn’t released the prices yet, they should cost between 12 and 20 lakhs (ex-showroom). Variants have not yet been made public, although it is anticipated that a 4×4 type will be offered first and then a RWD (4×2) variation.
