The 5 door version of the Mahindra Thar is arguably the most anticipated SUV in the country.
The spy videos of the 5 door Mahindra Thar are emerging on the internet and it features a sunroof in this latest spotting. Thar has taken the Indian automobile market by storm ever since its launch last year. The amount of off-roading hardware at this price point has made people buy it left and right. In this generation, Mahindra has worked hard to make it an SUV with which people can live on a daily basis as well. The comfort, modern features and practicality it offers, have caused a huge demand for the off-roader. Now, the 5-door version is on its way too.

This video has been uploaded by Aks Wagon on YouTube. The visuals show a heavily camouflaged Thar at a junction on a busy road. Clearly, this is a test mule that looks production-ready. This means that the launch might well be around the corner. The longer wheelbase and length are evident in this video. The 5-door version of the Thar will have a stretched wheelbase to accommodate more room for the rear passengers and luggage compartment.

Talking about the exterior styling, one could expect the bare minimum modifications to the 5-door version compared to the regular 3-door version. Nonetheless, Mahindra will definitely give a few tweaks to the exterior to distinguish the two. The vertically-oriented LED taillamps look similar to the regular Thar. Since Indians love their sunroof, the upcoming Thar will feature it. On the inside, the dashboard and central layout will resemble the regular version as well.
