The upcoming Mahindra Thar has been spotted again before its expected launch on this Independence Day. The most recent spy pictures reveal the colour options for the 5-door SUV, which may go by the name 'Thar Armada'.  As you can see, the test mules are covered, but the small openings provide a peek at the SUV's paint options, which include red, white, and black. Interestingly, these spotted paint jobs resemble those offered for the 3-door model. While there has been no official announcement, the SUV is expected to get Galaxy Grey and Aquamarine exterior colour options, which are currently offered on the 3-door variant.
