Mahindra Thar Roxx price, variants, features explained

The Mahindra Thar Roxx launched in August 2024 as the 5-door version of the Thar, but the differences between the two run far deeper than just an extra pair of doors. Not only is the Thar Roxx built on a newer, more advanced platform than the 3-door Thar, but it also sports numerous design changes, higher engine outputs, more spacious interiors and, crucially, a longer list of features. Since the Thar Roxx went on sale last year, Mahindra has rejigged the SUV’s prices, variants, and feature spread so let’s go through the full line-up and powertrain options.
