Instead of the all-black color scheme in the 3-door Thar, the mahindra Thar 5-door will come with a dual-tone brown and black color scheme. The same paint scheme is also expected to be found on various parts of the cabin including seat upholstery and door panels.
Large touchscreen infotainment system

Hard roof
The current Thar 3-door comes with 2 roof options; A fibre-glass hard top and a canvas soft top. Both lack a roof liner. The Thar 5-door will come with a metal roof with a soft fabric roof liner.
