India, Feb. 14 -- Mahindra and Mahindra have been testing the 5-door version of the Thar for quite some time now. The new SUV is expected to go on sale later this year. The latest spy shots show that Mahindra will be making a few cosmetic tweaks to the 5-door Thar. This will help in distinguishing the 5-door version from the 3-door model. The latest spy shots show that the Thar 5-door will use a new set of alloy wheels that are larger than the Thar 3-door's. For reference, the Thar 3-door uses 18-inch units whereas the 5-door Thar will use 19-inch ones with a diamond-cut finish.

Apart from the alloy wheels, there are other changes to the Thar 5-door. The headlamps will now be LEDS and there will be new LED Daytime Running Lamps as well. ...
