After many a teaser, Mahindra has finally announced prices for the Thar Roxx. The 5-door version of the Thar is priced from Rs 12.99 lakh for the entry-level MX1 petrol variant, and from Rs 13.99 lakh for the entry-level diesel variant. Roxx prices start about Rs 1.64 lakh higher than the 3-door version as it’s positioned above the smaller SUV.
- Thar Roxx base MX1 variant gets 10.25-inch touchscreen, 18-inch wheels
- Entry-level trim gets petrol and diesel engine options
- Manual gearbox only for base variant
Mahindra Thar Roxx MX1 features, powertrain
Mahindra has equipped the entry level Thar Roxx variant with LED lighting, a dual-tone exterior finish, 18-inch steel wheels, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, push button start, driver’s seat height adjust, 60:40 split folding rear bench seats, rear AC vents and a rear USB-C port. In terms of safety kit, the MX1 variant comes with six airbags, ESC, and three-point seat belts for all passengers.
This base Roxx variant comes with a 162hp, 330Nm, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with a manual gearbox, and a 152hp, 330Nm 2.2-litre diesel engine and a manual gearbox.
Mahindra Thar Roxx exterior styling
Compared to the 3-door Thar, the Roxx gets a new grille design that’s divided into six, double-stacked slots, unlike the seven slots present in the Thar 3-door. The headlamps retain the circular design, but they now get an LED projector setup with C-shaped Daytime Running Lamps – higher variants are expected to get LED fog lamps. The front bumper has some unique design elements as well with integrated fog lamp housings and faux brushed aluminium bits at the centre. Top-spec variants are likely to have fog lamps with a cornering function.
The Roxx gets chunky wheel arches and stylish 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels for the higher variants, while mid variants will likely get 18-inch alloys. While the front door looks identical to the standard Thar, the rear door gets a unique, vertically positioned handle. The quarter glass aft of the rear door has a triangular shape, similar to the Thar EV concept. The Thar Roxx will have a dual-tone paint shade for most variants – with a contrast black roof – that will give it a removable hardtop look.
At the rear, it looks quite similar to the Thar 3-door, but a closer look confirms the mildly reprofiled tail-lamps with C-shaped LEDs, and a tailgate design that also accommodates the rear wiper and washer.
Mahindra Thar Roxx interior features and tech
On the inside, the Thar Roxx gets the same dashboard as the 3-door, but there are certain premium elements like soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door pads, at least in the higher variants. The interior has a dual-tone theme with beige perforated leatherette seats and a dark brown dashboard with some contrast bits. There are dual 10.25-inch screens for infotainment and instrumentation duties on top trims.
Those higher variants are also expected to get cooled seats for the front row, ambient and footwell lighting, a wireless charging pad, automatic climate control, all four power windows, a sliding front armrest, a cooled glove box and remote fuel opening setup – all these are missing on the Thar 3-door.
