What kind of features does the Mahindra Thar Roxx offer?

Feature highlights are likely to include:

A touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 6 speakers, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), ESP, ISOFIX, dual front airbags and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. The Thar Roxx is also likely to get a sunroof

Is the Mahindra Thar Roxx a spacious car?

While the Mahindra Thar is a 4-seater SUV, it is a 3-door model which makes accessing the rear seat more difficult. The Mahindra Thar Roxx should not only make rear seat usability easier but it will also offer better cabin space and boot space than the 3-door model.

What engines and transmissions does the Thar Roxx offer?

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is expected to offer the following engines and transmissions:

• 2-2-litre Diesel: This diesel engine is offered with the current Thar 3-door 4x4 and is available with the option of a 6-speed automatic transmission, besides the 6-speed manual that comes as standard. Not only does it offer the convenience of an automatic, the engine also offers punchy performance.

• 2-litre Petrol: The petrol Thar is available with both 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions and delivers brisk performance and responsiveness while still being smooth to drive. However, this engine does not score high on fuel-efficiency.

Does The Mahindra Thar Roxx Offer Enough Safety Features?

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is expected to offer safety features such as six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill-hold control, hill-descent control and rear parking sensors. In Global NCAP’s crash tests, the Thar 3-door has received 4/5 stars for both adult and child occupant protection and we hope to see a similarly strong (or stronger result) for the Thar Roxx

Is The Mahindra Thar Roxx Worth Buying?

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is a purpose-built off-road SUV that offers a greater degree of family-friendliness than the standard Thar, thanks to its 5-door design. It can be a great choice for people who want an SUV that makes a statement or genuinely want a lifestyle SUV that can take them places where most other cars are incapable of accessing. It is, however, an off-roader that has been given some family-friendly touches and will not be as comfortable, feature-loaded or easy to drive as road-focused SUVs like the Kia Seltos, Volkswagen Taigun or Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara that are available in a similar price range.

What Options Can I Consider Besides The Thar?

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny and Force Gurkha are off-road SUVs that you can buy for a similar price as the Mahindra Thar. If you just want the style and higher seating position of an SUV but don’t expect to drive off-road, the MG Astor, Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder, VW Taigun and Skoda Kushaq are available in a similar price range.
