After months of anticipation, Mahindra has finally launched the much-awaited the 5-door Thar.
The Thar competes with two prominent 5-door lifestyle SUVs: the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the Force Gurkha. The Jimny too has a strong legacy in India thanks to the Gypsy, which was on sale for 33 years.
The Thar Roxx is the only one that offers both petrol and diesel fuel options; the Gurkha is diesel-only while the Jimny is petrol-only.
