New Delhi: The new-generation Mahindra Thar off-road, which was introduced in 2020, is generating sales for the country's domestic automaker.
While the current model has three doors and four seats, the company will soon introduce a five-door version which is currently in testing. According to rumours, the 5-door Mahindra Thar will be unveiled to the general public at the 2023 Delhi Auto Expo before going on sale.
While the 2-door Thar tends to attract individual buyers as a lifestyle vehicle, the new 5-door model will focus on customers who require a more practical yet tough SUV.
