The launch of the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door, which is likely to arrive as Armada, is just around the corner. Recently, a test mule has been spied near ARAI’s facility in Pune, revealing the fresh development about the launch.
As per the leaks, it seems like the upcoming off-roader has reached the final stage of testing, and now is all set to hit the Indian market anytime soon. It has been speculated that the model might break the cover somewhere around August. However, the company has yet to share the official details.
Here’s What Leaks Say
Going by the viral images, a test mule can be seen fully covered with a black piece of cloth, featuring the latest 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, the same design spare wheel at the back, heavy cladding on the sides, and a decent-sized footrest.
The photos also showed the touchscreen infotainment system, which looks like is 10.25-inch in size. The unit looks quite similar, which has been used in the newly launched XUV 3XO.
Expected Updates
It has been reported that the upcoming Thar 5-door is likely to come with an updated front grill, improved sets of headlight setup and revised bumper. Some notable highlights include a fully digital instrument cluster, 360-degree camera, front armrests, rear AC vents, and a decent-sized sunroof among others.
We feel the company might use the same style statement as the ongoing 3-door Thar. However, there might be some cosmetic improvements or additions of new elements, which will make it a complete package in the segment.
Engine Options and Power
The Thar 5-door is likely to be offered in both petrol and diesel options. The formers might feature a 2.2-litre engine, which will generate a maximum power of 172 bhp, while the latter might use a 2.0-litre turbo that will churn out an impressive output of 200 bhp. The SUV is expected to be offered in both 4WD and 2WD options.
