Mahindra has registered several trademarks that could be used for the upcoming Thar 5-door.<\/p>\n
According to the government website, Mahindra has filed applications for 7 nametags. These include Thar Armada, Thar Centurion, Thar Cult, Thar Gladius, Thar Rex, Thar Roxx and Thar Savannah.<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see if Mahindra revives the Armada name for the Thar 5-door. As you may be aware, the Armada was launched in 1993 and went out of production in 2001. It was offered as a 5-door SUV and a double-cab pickup.<\/p>\n
The Thar 5-door has a similar design concept to the Armada. It is a rugged 5-door SUV with a long bonnet and wide front fenders.<\/p>\n
The Thar 5-door will be offered with the same engine options as the 3-door version. These include a 2.2-litre diesel producing 130 BHP and 300 Nm and a 2.0-litre petrol that makes 150 BHP and 300-320 Nm. Both engines are likely to be offered with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions.<\/p>\n
