Mahindra Thar Roxx: A New Chapter in Off-Road Luxury
Mahindra is set to redefine the off-road landscape with the upcoming Thar Roxx, a five-door expansion of its iconic Thar model. Scheduled for unveiling tomorrow, the Thar Roxx promises to blend rugged capability with sophisticated comfort, catering to a wider audience.
Dual Sunroof Options: A First for the Thar
One of the most intriguing features of the Thar Roxx is the inclusion of two distinct sunroof options. This marks a significant departure from the industry norm, where automakers typically offer a single sunroof configuration. Mahindra’s decision to provide both a single-pane and a panoramic sunroof demonstrates a commitment to catering to diverse customer preferences.
The panoramic sunroof is expected to be a headline-grabbing feature, offering an expansive view of the sky and enhancing the open-air experience. On the other hand, the single-pane sunroof presents a more budget-friendly option for those seeking a taste of open-top driving without the full panoramic treatment.
A Luxurious Interior with Modern Amenities
Beyond the sunroof options, the Thar Roxx is poised to elevate the interior experience with a range of premium features. A dual-screen setup, likely featuring two 10.25-inch displays, is expected to dominate the dashboard, providing cutting-edge technology and infotainment. Ventilated seats and automatic climate control will enhance comfort, especially in India’s varying weather conditions.
Safety remains a top priority, with the Thar Roxx anticipated to come standard with six airbags. To bolster safety further, Mahindra is likely to equip the SUV with an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), offering features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and autonomous emergency braking.
Powerful Performance and Off-Road Capability
While the focus has been on comfort and features, the Thar Roxx is expected to retain the core off-road DNA of the Thar brand. Under the hood, it’s likely to share powertrain options with the three-door model, including a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol and a 2.2-liter diesel engine. Both manual and automatic transmissions are expected to be offered, along with the choice of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Pricing and Competition
The Thar Roxx is anticipated to command a premium over the three-door model, with pricing expected to start around Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom). When launched, it will directly compete with the Force Gurkha 5-door, while also serving as a larger and more premium alternative to the Maruti Jimny.
