One more oddity, coloured door handle on rear doors does not match with black door handle on front doors. But they had to do it as door handle is placed very high above waistline.

Well mahindra want to go global with this model. Hence they made deliberate attempt to differentiate the car from jeep wrangler so FCA won't be able to sue them over design patent copy. Even the lights are not round asper say in terms of looks as they appear like C.same is the case with rear side doors in appearance.

Whatever they do with the design of this product, its going to sell like hot cakes ! Until the day of launch they will not show proper product image and Mahindra is good at hyping their product and creating FOMO

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Not a fan of the trapezium-shaped quarter glass, they could have kept it simple.

What the Thar needs above everything else is a proper features revamp, hope they fix it with this one.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Looking at the photos, it feels like a kid trying to change a few lines here and there to escape punishment for copying homework.

I mean why try so hard, people know (and don’t care) where these models are coming from!

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Looks decent in my opinion. Off-course Jeep aficionados will be pissed off, but this will retail for 1/3rd, probably 1/4th of what Wrangler retails for. So I guess it’s a win win for everyone.

And, Mahindra - you’re going to hit it out of the park with this as well. But don’t get too greedy and jack up the prices immediately

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Horrendously designed front grill and the rear door handles.

Worst on earth is that triangular quarter glass. What on earth was in mind of Pratap Bose to approve rather design such stuff that reminds of school days. He has long lost his credibility as an automotive designer.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Regularly placed pull type door handles on the body would have been better on a 4 door vehicle. Otherwise, it should be like in the Jimny, subtle and gel well with the car. At least we can do something about the grill!
