Mahindra Thar Roxx MX1 Variant Exterior*

The 5-door Thar Roxx carries over a familiar silhouette but with new styling cues.

Despite being the base variant, the MX1 variant includes LED projector headlamps, a body-coloured six-slat grille, and 18-inch steel wheels. 

It also features a dual-tone exterior shade. At the rear, the MX1 variant sports square-shaped LED taillights and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel as well. So you won’t have to stretch to the higher trims if you want the new LED lights on your Thar Roxx. However, it misses out the new LED DRLs.
