Mahindra Thar is one of the most popular lifestyle SUVs in the country right now. Since the launch of the new-gen model, there has been a huge queue of buyers waiting to get their hands on the SUV. While Mahindra Thar owners love to modify and customise the off-roading SUV as per their choice with aftermarket accessories, the company also offered the vehicle in a range of colour options for the buyers to pick from. Among all the colour options, Napoli Black was one of the most popular and common colours of Mahindra Thar seen on roads. Surprisingly, Mahindra has pulled the plug on the iconic Mahindra Thar’s colour option.

It is not yet know how the Mahindra Thar will look like in new Stealth Black colour options. 

Mahindra is currently gearing up for the launch of the new Mahindra Thar 5-door in India. The newer version gets a longer wheelbase which means more space for the 2nd row passengers and also increase in amount of boot space. The Thar 5-door, the SUV will retain the boxy shape with tall pillars. The SUV is also believed to get new alloy wheels.

Mahindra has already confirmed that Mahindra Thar 5-door launch will take place in 2024.
