Asked by: Pruthvi Kumaron Jan 6, 2026
Hey Autocar, I am confused about the variant selection of the XUV 7XO launched on January 5th. I found the AX7 VFM variant attractive, but it lacks features like auto-dimming IRVM and an electronic parking brake. Now I am thinking of pushing my budget to purchase either the AX7 T or AX7 L diesel automatic. My doubt is whether to choose AWD or FWD with a ₹1 lakh difference. I have already pre-booked and now need to confirm the variant selection. Thank you.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO is a well-rounded product, and the AX7 T is the variant to choose as it offers all the premium features you would expect at this price point. You get a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, ventilated front seats, Level 2 ADAS, an electronic parking brake and much more.
As for whether you should opt for AWD, it really depends on your usage. If you live in the hills or regularly drive on challenging and slippery terrain, the AWD version can make sense. For most driving conditions, however, the Front Wheel Drive version will do just fine.
If your idea is to get into serious off-roading, the 7XO is not the best choice, even with AWD. For that kind of usage, the Mahindra Scorpio N or the Mahindra Thar Roxx, with higher ground clearance and a low-range gearbox, will be far more capable.

I want to buy a new SUV around ₹20 lakhs as my primary car. I really love the shape of the Thar Roxx. I want a capable, punchy engine that gives a feeling of great pickup. Mileage is not an issue for me. Most driving will be in the city. Can you suggest an SUV and variant (diesel/petrol)?
Yes, the Mahindra Thar Roxx has an iconic shape that resembles the Jeep Wrangler and has a lot of appeal. If mileage is not an issue, then go for the 2-litre petrol automatic, which is smooth, responsive and has a good pick-up.
You don’t need a 4x4 for the city, and hence the rear-wheel-drive MX3 variant will suit you best.

Asked by: Ajinkya Kadamon Dec 28, 2025
I want a proper SUV for daily use in Mumbai traffic, with occasional long drives. Can I consider the Thar Roxx for daily commuting? My preference is for a rugged and capable SUV.
Yes, the Mahindra Thar Roxx is practical enough to be used as an everyday car. The high seating position makes driving in traffic easier, and the harsh suspension tackles the worst of roads with ease. So, in that sense, you can’t get a better rugged SUV for the money. The only downside is a bumpy ride on bad roads, compared to some of the other mainstream SUVs.

I am contemplating changing my 2013 Honda City, which I truly adore and has clocked 167,000 km, for a new daily driver. I am not a fan of very tech-heavy vehicles. I am considering the Honda City CVT ZX, but part of me also wants a real SUV like the Thar 3-door or the 5-door Roxx. My budget is about ₹20 lakh, and reliability is a big consideration. Please advise.
The Mahindra Thar is one of those special products that tug at the heartstrings, so we can understand why the boy in you wants it.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx, which is a 5-door, has a far better suspension than the 3-door. The practicality of a spacious back seat, is the one to go for if you want to use it as a daily driver.
It is tough and can withstand a lot of beating and high mileage without a sweat, but it may not be completely niggle-free like your Honda City probably is.
Also, bear in mind that you may tire of the Thar, which has a bumpy ride and controls that are heavier than the user-friendly Honda City you are used to. Yours is a case of heart over head, so go ahead and satisfy that boy in you :)

Asked by: Sitaramon Dec 25, 2025
I am considering buying the Thar Roxx MX3 Petrol AT. If my requirements are not suitable for this car, please feel free to suggest alternatives. 1. Manageable body roll for parents above 60 years of age, but decently healthy. 2. 500-1200 km trips, with a sustained cruising speed of 130-140 kmph, and braking performance that does not discomfort passengers 3. Light off-roading capability and decent comfort over potholes and bad roads 4. Primarily for long weekend trips or bi-yearly trips with friends and parents, and it should be fun to drive.
The Thar Roxx is a hardy car capable of much more than light off-roading. It tackles bad roads and potholes brilliantly and is a good weekend car. However, there are two issues for your parents. One is the step in height. The Thar Roxx sits high off the ground, which can be a problem for elderly people getting in and out. The second is that the ride can be pretty bumpy on a bad or uneven road, but if your parents are healthy and fit, I am sure they will take this all in their stride.
The bigger danger for your parents is your intent to drive at speeds of 130-140kph. This is dangerous on public roads in India, and we urge you to drive safely so you and your family can enjoy many road trips together.

Asked by: Abdul Azeezon Dec 21, 2025
Hello, I work abroad & want to buy a new car for my family of 5. Initially, it will be used by my daughter for city driving with limited weekly usage. I am looking for a car that is easy to drive in traffic, safe, fuel-efficient, and suitable for long trips when I visit during the holidays. It should be easy for women to drive in the city, yet strong and stable on highways and ghats. My budget is around ₹20 to 25 lakh. When I was last in Chennai, I almost bought the Thar Roxx AX7L. I plan to make the purchase in June 2026.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx is far more comfortable than the three-door version, but as a family car, the ride is still on the firmer side. Within your budget, if most of your driving is on the road, there are more comfortable options available.
Within Mahindra, you could wait for the XUV 7XO, which is expected to launch in January 2025 and is essentially the facelifted XUV700. Despite its size, it will be easy to drive, and the petrol and diesel engines are well-suited for both city and highway use. Given your limited driving, the petrol makes more sense. It will also be more spacious, with a larger boot, and being a 7 seater, it gives you added versatility whenever you need the extra seats. We expect the top AX7 petrol variant to fit within your budget.
If you want something smaller and more efficient, you could also consider the new Tata Sierra. Even the top turbo-petrol automatic fits within your budget, and based on our experience, this Tata car delivers good driving pleasure and comfort while offering a class-leading feature list. The smaller 1.5-litre engine, while down on power compared to Mahindra’s 2.0-litre, is still strong enough and should prove to be more economical as well.

Asked by: Rakeshon Dec 16, 2025
I plan to buy a Thar Rox. My daily running is about 10 km, with long road trips once every quarter. Which engine is best for my use - petrol or diesel - and which model offers the best value for money within a ₹20 lakh budget? Please advise.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx petrol makes more sense given your limited running. The 2.0 litre turbo petrol is powerful, smooth and refined. While the diesel is more efficient, it is not as smooth, and you would need significantly higher running costs to recover its higher upfront cost.
Since you are not planning hardcore off-roading and your usage will mostly be daily commutes and highway driving, the fact that the petrol is only offered in 4X2 does not really matter.
The MX5 fits your requirements well, in both manual and automatic, stays within your budget, and offers features you would expect, such as 19-inch alloys, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a single pane sunroof and a reversing camera.

Asked by: Saileshon Dec 3, 2025
I want to buy my first car. My preference is an SUV or compact SUV suitable for five adults including the driver, with an automatic gearbox and a 5-star safety rating. My annual driving will be 25,000 to 30,000 km, with 80 percent of the driving on highways or off-road. My budget is Rs 16.5 lakh on-road in Hyderabad. Please suggest a car.
The car best suited to your needs is the Mahindra Thar Roxx. It's spacious for five and has a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash test rating, and includes ADAS with Level 2 Autonomous driving, which could come in handy on your highway drives.
Most importantly, it is a tough, ladder-frame SUV with robust suspension that is very well suited to rough roads and off-road driving, even if you choose the 4x2 version.
However, an automatic version will stretch the limits of your Rs 16.5 lakh on road budget, and you might have to spend a bit more to get more features.
Additionally, if you can wait a bit, the new Renault Duster is going to be launched in India on January 26, 2026, which promises to have the same tough construction as the previous version, and is likely to have a price tag lower than the Thar Roxx. It might be worth the wait.

Asked by: Saurabh Sharmon Dec 1, 2025
Sir, I recently sold my 2015 4WD CRDe Thar due to restrictions in NCR. I am a birder and an off-roader, and my wife shares the same passion. I am recently retired and am now looking for a 4WD off-road-capable vehicle in the price range of Rs 20 lakh. The Sierra was a letdown, as no AWD or 4WD is offered currently.
Given your passion for adventure, off-roading and birding, your best bet is to stick with Mahindra and get the new Thar. Whether the Thar 3 Door or the Roxx, you get a wide range of smooth and powerful engines and gearboxes of your choosing, and exceptional off-roading ability.
What's more, the new Thars are far more comfortable, luxurious and easy to live with, with loads of creature comforts, making them usable every day - especially the Thar Roxx, which is also much more spacious than the old Thar.

Asked by: Bharaton Dec 1, 2025
My budget is Rs 20 lakh. I am looking for an all-wheel-drive car as I frequently travel to the mountains and need a safe, comfortable and reliable family car. Safety, comfort and reliability are my top priorities.
There are not many AWD or 4x4 vehicles that meet all your requirements perfectly, but there are some to consider. Your best option is the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, the ZXI Plus AWD AT variant, although you will have to stretch your budget slightly.
It is a 5-star rated car from both Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP, so you're well covered on safety, and overall, it is a well equipped and comfortable family car. As a bonus, it comes with Maruti's renowned reliability and low running costs.
Alternatively, you could consider the Mahindra Thar Roxx, the MX5 2.2 Diesel MT 4x4 variant, which is also safe and offers more space and a more robust 4x4 system, but it's not as reliable or comfortable as the Maruti Suzuki.
Or you could look at the Maruti Suzuki Jimny, which is a capable off-roader and falls easily in your budget, but it is not as comfortable, and its small size makes it less practical as a family car.
