Upcoming SUV to feature dual-pane sunroof
The recent spy shots of 5-door Thar suggest a dual-pane sunroof option, probably in higher-end trims.
The dual-pane sunroof will be a distinctive feature in the ladder-frame SUV segment in India and one of the few globally.
The upcoming model will offer three powertrain options: a 1.5-liter diesel mill, a 2.2-liter diesel unit, and a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine.
The 2.2-liter diesel and 2.0-liter turbo-petrol options are expected to offer 4WD setup, while the 1.5-liter model may feature a RWD system.
