Mahindra Thar 3 Door Model Gets a Change After A Long Gap
Mahindra has been selling the Thar car as an off-road SUV for a long time. Initially, this car was available only in the 3-door model. However, after Maruti launched the 5-door Jimny car in the same segment, Mahindra also launched its 5-door version, the Thar Rocks car.

Mid-life Update Coming Soon
