5-Door Mahindra Thar To Get Sunroof; New Spy Images Leaked

The 5-door Mahindra Thar has been undergoing extensive testing for quite some time now, and its latest spy images reveal some intriguing details about the upcoming SUV.

Electric Sunroof Confirmed

• Following the recent spy shots, the 5-door Mahindra Thar will receive a single-pane electric sunroof.
• This also implies that it will get a fixed-type metal hard-top roof.
• In an unusual placement, the sunroof appears to be positioned between the front and second rows, contrasting with the conventional placement.

• It is also reportedly fitted with LED fog lamps, suggesting that the production-spec version might get a full LED lighting system.
• Earlier spy images have also hinted at the presence of C-pillar-mounted door handles for the rear.
• Although the car’s interior is yet to be seen, it is anticipated to retain similarities with the 3-door model while incorporating new features such as a larger touchscreen infotainment system with connected car technology and auto climate control.
• To ensure passengers’ safety, the SUV is expected to offer a range of features including up to 6 airbags, traction control, ESC, and more.
