The company wants to introduce the Thar to its SUV line-up in South Africa, which already sells the XUV300, XUV700 and the Scorpio N.

Its wheels will be about 30 mm bigger. Its length will be more than 4-metres. This is not for people who like a small car. It is unlikely to get the recently introduced 1.5-litre diesel engine. Rest all the powertrain specs will be similar to the existing 3-door model. The 5-door Thar could be launched in India sometime in 2024.

who will compete

This SUV will compete with the Maruti Suzuki 5 door Jimny, in which a 1.5 liter petrol engine is available. It gets an all wheel drive system with Suzuki All Grip Pro technology.
