Mahindra & Mahindra is set to launch several new SUVs in the coming years, with three of them scheduled for release in 2024. These upcoming Mahindra SUVs include the Mahindra XUV300 facelift, Bolero Neo Plus, and the 5-door Thar. Let’s delve into the key details of these upcoming Mahindra SUVs.
Updated Mahindra XUV300
The revamped Mahindra XUV300 is expected to debut in early 2024. While retaining its subcompact SUV status, it will feature significant design enhancements. The interior is likely to maintain its current layout. Notably, the XUV300 facelift will replace the existing 6-speed AMT gearbox with a new Aisin-sourced 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The powertrain is expected to carry over from the current model. Key upgrades include a first-in-segment panoramic sunroof, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technology, and various other new features.
Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus
The civilian version of the Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus is set to be introduced in five different variants: P4, P10, P10 (R), P10 7-seater, and P10 (R) 7-seater. This SUV will measure 4.4 meters in length with a wheelbase of 2.6 meters. Under the hood, it will feature the same 2.2L engine producing 118bhp and 280Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Features will include a 6.7-inch infotainment system, semi-digital instrument cluster, power windows, day-night adjustable function for the interior rear-view mirror (IRVM), and a 12V charging socket, among others.
5-door Mahindra Thar
The 5-door Thar is one of the highly-anticipated Mahindra SUVs in 2024. It will have a distinct appearance compared to the 3-door variant. It is expected to offer a more spacious 10-inch touchscreen infotainment display. Select variants may come with a single-pane sunroof and front and rear center armrests along with a newly-designed center console. The 5-door Thar is likely to draw inspiration from the Scorpio N model lineup and may feature a choice of 2.0L turbo petrol and 2.2L turbo diesel engines. The turbo petrol unit is expected to deliver 200bhp of maximum power and a peak torque of 370Nm to 380Nm. The diesel engine may offer two different power outputs: 172bhp with 370Nm (with a manual transmission) or 400Nm (with an automatic transmission) and 130bhp with 300Nm. Customers will have the option of either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox for the SUV model lineup.
