With prices starting at Rs 12.99 lakh for the petrol and Rs 13.99 lakh for the diesel (ex-showroom) in the 4×2 MX variant, the Thar Roxx compliments the rugged capabilities of its three-door sibling with added practicality for everyday use.

Both engines are available with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox.

Modern Interior with Enhanced Comfort

Inside, the Thar Roxx offers a more refined and feature-rich cabin:

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
Rear AC vents
Dual-tone upholstery

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.
