The Mahindra Thar Roxx, launched in August 2024, has quickly gained popularity as a premium and spacious alternative to the standard 3-door Thar. Initially offered with a dual-tone black and white cabin featuring white leatherette seats, Mahindra has now introduced a Mocha Brown interior theme for the 4-wheel-drive (4WD) variants. This new cabin option enhances practicality while maintaining a premium look. Deliveries of the Mocha Brown-themed Thar Roxx have officially commenced as units start arriving at dealerships.
Mocha Brown Interior: A More Practical Cabin Theme
A Stylish and Functional Upgrade
The introduction of the Mocha Brown interior is a strategic move by Mahindra to cater to customers who prefer a more practical yet stylish cabin. The white leatherette seats, although elegant, required extra care and maintenance to keep them clean. The new brown and black combination ensures that the interiors remain neat even after extensive off-road use.
Cabin Layout and Enhancements
While the overall dashboard layout remains unchanged, Mahindra has made notable aesthetic upgrades to differentiate the Mocha Brown theme from the original white variant:
- Dashboard: The upper half retains the black finish, while the bottom section now comes in a rich brown shade.
- Door Panels: The doors follow the same brown and black theme, complementing the rest of the cabin.
- Seats: The seats are wrapped in brown and black leatherette upholstery, providing a plush and comfortable feel.
- Front Armrest: Finished in Mocha Brown, adding a luxurious touch.
- Roof Liner: Mahindra has retained the white roof liner, ensuring a contrast that makes the cabin appear spacious and airy.
Exclusively for 4WD Variants
The Mocha Brown cabin theme is exclusively available with the 4WD variants of the Thar Roxx. This decision aligns with the SUV’s target audience—adventure seekers and off-road enthusiasts who need durable and easy-to-maintain interiors. However, customers who prefer the white cabin theme still have the option to choose it.
