The Mahindra Thar has always been known for its tough looks and strong off-road performance. But the new Thar Roxx – a bigger 5-door version – is changing everything. It’s no longer just for adventure lovers. Now, it’s a great choice for families too!
And guess what? It’s already a massive hit. Out of every 10 Thars sold, 7 are the new Thar Roxx.
So, why is everyone loving it? Let’s break it down.
1. Strong But Smart: Built for Both Adventure and Daily Use
The earlier 3-door Thar was fun but not very practical for families. The Thar Roxx fixes that.
- More Space & 5 Doors: Two extra doors and a longer design make it easier to get in and out. There’s more legroom too, so even adults can sit comfortably in the back.
- Huge Boot Space: The small trunk in the old Thar is gone. Now you get 644 litres of space – enough for your bags and gear on road trips.
- Better Ride Comfort: Thanks to its longer wheelbase and improved suspension, the Thar Roxx feels more stable and smoother even on bumpy roads.
In short, you now get the bold Thar design with the comfort of a family SUV.
2. Thar Roxx – Premium Interiors with Modern Features
The inside of the Thar Roxx feels fresh, stylish, and high-tech.
- Dual 10.25-inch Screens: One for entertainment and one as the digital speedometer. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard.
- Luxury Additions: Panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and electric driver’s seat – these are features you normally see in luxury SUVs!
- Better Materials: Leather-like seats, soft-touch dashboard, wireless charging, rear AC vents – all give a premium feel.
- Easy Steering: Electric power steering makes driving in traffic much easier than the older model.
3. Powerful Engines with Multiple Choices
You can choose between petrol and diesel, manual or automatic, 4×2 or 4×4 – depending on your needs.
- Petrol (2.0-litre mStallion Turbo): ~160–174 bhp, 330–380 Nm torque
- Diesel (2.2-litre mHawk): ~150–172 bhp, 330–370 Nm torque
- Transmission: 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic
- Drive Options: RWD for city use and 4WD for serious off-roading
This flexibility makes it suitable for both city dwellers and off-road lovers.
4. Still a Beast Off-Road, Now Safer Too
Despite the extra comfort, it hasn’t lost its wild side.
- Real Off-Road Features: It still has a ladder-frame chassis, high ground clearance, and can drive through water up to 650mm deep.
- 4×4 Capability: Available with terrain modes like Snow, Sand, and Mud.
- Safety First: It offers 6 airbags, ESC, ABS, TPMS, and even Level 2 ADAS in top models – including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Emergency Braking.
5. Attractive Pricing & Strong Brand Value
- Price (Ex-showroom Delhi): ₹12.99 lakh to ₹23.39 lakh
- The RWD versions are more affordable and popular in cities.
And let’s not forget – “Thar” is already a legendary name in India. Now with Roxx, Mahindra has made it more stylish and practical without losing its charm.
