The anticipation for the Mahindra Thar Roxx is reaching fever pitch as its launch date draws closer. Slated to hit the market on August 15, this five-door iteration of the iconic Thar is set to captivate adventure enthusiasts with its rugged charm and enhanced practicality.
While the latest teaser offers no groundbreaking revelations, it does provide a clearer glimpse of the Thar Roxx’s profile, highlighting its elongated silhouette against the majestic backdrop of the Himalayas.
Design and Dimensions
The Thar Roxx retains the familiar rugged aesthetics of its three-door sibling but boasts a stretched wheelbase to accommodate two additional doors. This extension not only improves rear seat accessibility but also enhances overall cabin space. The teaser showcases new 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels encased in squared-off wheel arches, adding a touch of boldness to the SUV’s stance.
Interior Comfort and Convenience
Expected to mirror the three-door Thar’s interior layout, the Roxx is anticipated to feature a beige-themed upholstery for a more premium feel. Key highlights include a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a compatible touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, keyless entry, and a 360-degree camera.
Safety First
Mahindra is likely to prioritize safety with the Thar Roxx, offering up to six airbags, parking sensors, electronic stability control, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to ensure passenger protection.
Powerful Performance
Under the hood, the Thar Roxx is expected to carry forward the same engine options as the three-door model: a 2.2-litre diesel and a 2-litre turbo-petrol. However, enthusiasts can anticipate performance enhancements for both powertrains. Transmission choices are likely to include a 6-speed manual and a torque converter automatic, coupled with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations.
Pricing and Competition
With an estimated starting price of around Rs 15 lakh (ex-showroom), the Mahindra Thar Roxx is poised to compete directly with the Force Gurkha 5-door. Positioned as a larger and more practical alternative to the Maruti Jimny, the Thar Roxx aims to capture a wider audience seeking a blend of off-road capability and everyday usability.
As the launch date approaches, excitement surrounding the Mahindra Thar Roxx continues to build. With its combination of rugged appeal, enhanced practicality, and expected performance upgrades, this five-door off-roader is poised to make a significant impact in the Indian automotive market.
