Mahindra Thar 5 Door:The iconic Mahindra Thar is revving up for a grand entrance in Dubai with its much-anticipated 5-door version. While an official launch date and price haven’t been announced yet, here’s a breakdown of what we can expect from this off-road beast:
Conquering the Desert in Style
The Thar 5 door retains the rugged charm of its predecessor, the 3-door variant. The boxy silhouette, muscular stance, and bold grille scream adventure. Expect features like LED headlamps with daytime running lights, stylish alloy wheels, and a powerful presence that will turn heads on Dubai’s streets and desert trails.
Accommodating Your Crew
The biggest change, of course, is the addition of two rear doors. This makes the Thar a more practical choice for families and groups of friends. The extra doors should provide easier access to the rear seats, making getting in and out a breeze. The increased cabin space is also likely to offer more legroom and comfort for passengers.
Engine Power for Any Terrain
Mahindra is likely to offer the Thar 5 door with the same engine options as the 3-door version in Dubai. This could include a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine churning out around 180 horsepower and a 2.2-liter diesel engine delivering ample torque for off-road adventures. Both engines are expected to be paired with a manual or automatic transmission, giving you control over your driving experience.
Off-Road Prowess
The Thar 5 door is built to conquer any terrain. With a robust ladder-frame chassis, four-wheel drive system, and high ground clearance, it’s perfect for exploring Dubai’s vast deserts. Features like a low-range gearbox, differential locks, and possibly even a detachable hardtop (similar to the 3-door) should further enhance its off-road capabilities.
Expected Specifications
- Engine options: 2.0L turbo-petrol, 2.2L diesel
- Transmission: Manual, Automatic
- Seating capacity: 5
- Features: LED headlamps, alloy wheels, touchscreen infotainment system, air conditioning, ABS, airbags (possibly more)
Estimated Price in Dubai
Since the official pricing hasn’t been revealed, we can only provide an educated guess. Considering the price range of the 3-door Thar in India and import costs, the Thar 5 door in Dubai is expected to start somewhere between AED 80,000 (approx. USD 21,780) and AED 100,000 (approx. USD 27,225). This is a competitive price point for a capable off-road SUV that offers a unique blend of adventure and practicality.
