Off-road buyers eagerly await the 2024 face-off between the Thar 5-Door and Jeep Wrangler, anticipating a clash of design and value in the Indian market.
Thar 5-Door's Debut
Amidst the excitement surrounding the delivery of the Thar 3-door, the launch of the Thar 5-door variant, initially set for August 15, 2023, has been postponed to 2024. Mahindra's strategic move aims to prioritize the current orders while building the anticipation for the extended Thar lineup.
Wrangler's Premium Presence
The Jeep Wrangler, entering the Indian market via the CBU route, commands a premium price starting from Rs. 62.65 lakh (ex-showroom). Available in Unlimited and Rubicon trims, the Wrangler packs a punch with its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine, delivering 268 bhp and 400 Nm, and comes with an 8-speed auto gearbox. The Rubicon, in particular, flaunts Jeep's advanced off-road systems, setting a high standard for the competitors.

Thar 5-Door vs. Wrangler
In a visual spectacle the Thar 5-door was spotted beside the Jeep Wrangler, igniting a debate on which SUV boasts more appeal. The Thar's imposing presence, with noticeable differences in height, width, and overall design compared to the more streamlined Wrangler. The Thar's boxy silhouette and distinctive features challenge the Wrangler's athletic charm.
Thar 5-Door: Design Triumph Over Off-Road Pedigree?
While the Thar 5-door may not match the Wrangler Rubicon's extreme off-road capabilities, it still stands out with its captivating design. The Thar's boxy and bulbous design, emphasizing its sheer road presence. Despite the Wrangler's narrower body and off-road prowess, the Thar 5-door seems to hold its ground in the looks department.
Value for Money: Thar's Winning Edge
Anticipated to be priced significantly lower than the Wrangler, the Thar 5-door promises an exceptional value for the Indian buyers. With the launch pushed to 2024, Mahindra still continues with active testing, unveiling the features like a single-pane electric sunroof and a new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment screen. The clash between these off-road titans is eagerly awaited by the buyers, making the Thar 5-door's arrival in 2024 highly anticipated.
CarBike360 Says: The Thar 5-Door's debut, postponed to 2024, heightens the excitement for its face-off with the Jeep Wrangler. Despite the delay, the Thar, with its bold design and expected affordability, aims to challenge the Wrangler's premium presence. Off-road buyers eagerly await to see which SUV will dominate the Indian market, where design and value may be decisive.
