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.
Mahindra Thar Roxx variants, powertrain
Turbocharged petrol and diesel engines in varying states of tune
The Thar Roxx can be had with 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engines, each with their respective 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter auto gearbox options. When paired with the manual gearbox, the Thar Roxx’s petrol engine pumps out 162hp and 330Nm, while the petrol-automatic variants bump up the output to 177hp and 380Nm.
Meanwhile, all Thar Roxx diesel variants generate 152hp and 330Nm, save for the higher-end AX5L and AX7L automatic variants, which are available in a 175hp and 370Nm state of tune.
