Production and Launch Timeline:

The production of the Mahindra Thar 5-door, also known as the Thar Armada, will take place on the same line as its three-door counterpart. Despite the existing backlog of orders for the three-door Thar, the production of the new variant is expected to reach a monthly target of 4,000 units. This suggests Mahindra's commitment to meeting the high demand for the Thar series.

Design and Features:

Built on the same platform as the three-door Thar, the 5-door variant will feature a stretched wheelbase to accommodate the additional rear doors. Distinguishing itself from its predecessor, the 5-door Thar Armada is likely to support a revamped exterior with changes to the front grille, bumpers, alloy wheels, and projector headlamps.
