Thar roxx review 2025

The Mahindra Thar Roxx, launched in August 2024, is a five-door evolution of the iconic Thar, blending rugged off-road prowess with family-friendly practicality. Priced between ₹12.99 lakh and ₹23.39 lakh (ex-showroom), it competes with SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Jimny, and Force Gurkha. Built on the M_glyde platform with a modified Scorpio N chassis, the Roxx is longer (4,428 mm), wider (1,870 mm), and taller than its three-door sibling, offering a 2,850 mm wheelbase for enhanced cabin space.Design and Build: The Roxx retains the Thar’s boxy, muscular aesthetic but introduces a six-slat grille, LED DRLs, and 19-inch alloy wheels on top trims. Its wider track and flared fenders enhance its road presence, while the C-pillar-mounted rear door handles add quirkiness. The metal body, reinforced for safety, promises strong BNCAP crash ratings. However, the high floor height can challenge ingress for elderly passengers.Interior and Features: The cabin is a leap forward, with premium touches like soft-touch materials, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a Harman Kardon audio system. Ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and Level 2 ADAS (including adaptive cruise control) elevate comfort and safety. Rear seats offer ample legroom and recline, though headroom is tight for taller occupants. Boot space (447–644 liters) adds practicality. The light beige interior (now Mocha Grey in 4WD variants) looks airy but is prone to soiling.Performance and Driving: The Roxx offers a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol (150–175 bhp, 380 Nm) and a 2.2-liter diesel (150–174 bhp, 370 Nm), paired with six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. The diesel, especially the 172 bhp automatic, delivers strong torque for effortless overtakes and off-road capability. The 4WD diesel variants feature CrawlSmart and IntelliTurn for tackling tough terrains. Ride quality is improved over the three-door Thar, thanks to a new multi-link suspension, but it remains bouncy at low speeds compared to monocoque rivals. Fuel efficiency is modest at 12.4 kmpl (petrol) and 15.2 kmpl (diesel).Verdict: The Thar Roxx is a versatile SUV, combining off-road DNA with modern features and space. Its rugged charm and premium cabin make it desirable, though ride comfort and fuel efficiency lag behind urban-focused competitors. It’s ideal for adventure enthusiasts wanting a stylish, practical family SUV. Test drives are recommended to ensure it suits daily needs.
