- 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Fully digital colour instrument cluster
- Ventilated front seats
- Panoramic sunroof
- Automatic climate control

Competitive Landscape
While traditionally seen as an off-roader, the five-door Thar Roxx will compete with a range of SUVs in the Indian market, including:
- Hyundai Creta
- Kia Seltos
- Honda Elevate
- MG Astor
- Maruti Grand Vitara
- Toyota Hyryder
A key highlight of the Thar Roxx is its extended wheelbase, which not only enhances its road presence but also adds an extra pair of doors. The vehicle showcases a distinctive angled C-pillar and triangular rear quarter glass. At the rear, it retains the rectangular taillights shared with the three-door version, adorned with the iconic ‘Thar’ branding. Many of the vehicle’s cycle parts, including door handles and rearview mirrors, are carried over from the previous model.
Inside, the Mahindra Thar Rox launched an extended wheelbase with a more spacious second row of seats and increased cargo capacity. The cabin features several upgrades over the three-door model, including a panoramic sunroof, a digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats with leatherette upholstery, automatic climate control, a Harman Kardon audio system, and a larger touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all powered by Mahindra’s AdrenoX Operating System. Additionally, the Thar Roxx comes equipped with a range of advanced driving assistance systems through its ADAS package.
