Mahindra Thar upgrades may open door to Australia for Jeep, Jimny rival – report

AutoExec Summary
The Mahindra Thar is undergoing a major update for an Australian launch, with the new five-door Thar Armada set to feature updated styling and semi-autonomous safety features. The model, positioned between the Jeep Wrangler and Suzuki Jimny, was previously involved in a legal dispute with Jeep due to its resemblance to the Wrangler. The Thar Armada is expected to offer a range-topping version with a dual-pane sunroof, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, and external LED lights. The vehicle will be available with various engine options and transmission choices. It is also expected to comply with Australia’s AEB requirements but it’s unclear if it will meet the country’s strict side-impact safety laws.
