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.

If you are choosing between the Kia Seltos HTK(O) Petrol IVT and the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 petrol, this really comes down to what you want your car to feel like in everyday life. The Seltos is the more sensible choice with a smooth automatic that is effortless in traffic, better suited to your kind of usage and far easier to live with daily, while also offering a more comfortable and premium cabin experience. The Thar Roxx, on the other hand, is all about character with its strong petrol engine, big road presence and that sense of occasion every time you drive it, but it is still a heavier, more lifestyle-oriented SUV that is not as convenient for daily city use.So the choice is quite simple in nature. If you want something that quietly does everything well and keeps life easy, the Seltos will feel like the right fit. If you want something that feels special and makes every drive more memorable, the Thar Roxx will appeal more. The Thar Roxx price starts at 12.52 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

You can opt for the Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition diesel automatic. It matches what you enjoyed in the drive and gives you the simple, physical buttons you prefer, while being usable enough for family duty now that it has five doors. You already like how it feels from the driver’s seat, and that matters most for a fun car. The high seating gives a clear view of traffic, and it feels solid on rough roads, which adds to the sense of fun.One thing to be aware of: it is not as comfortable or as quiet as the Tata Sierra, and the ride can be a bit bouncy on broken roads. Your family will probably find the Sierra more comfortable for longer journeys. Choose the Sierra if your top need is family comfort and space. Given what you liked and what worries you, the Thar Roxx diesel AT is the safer, more satisfying pick today; take your family along for a long drive and check back-seat comfort and boot fit before you commit. The Thar Roxx price starts at 12.52 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

For your needs, consider the Mahindra XUV 7XO. While it doesn’t have the rugged appeal of the Thar Roxx, it is far more comfortable in terms of cabin space and, importantly, ride quality. The new Da Vinci suspension works very well to absorb bumps at all speeds while still keeping the body well controlled at higher speeds, with none of the body swaying you experienced in the Roxx.As family comfort is a priority, you will appreciate the wide and comfortable second row, while the third row is a bonus for occasional use. It is also more powerful than the Roxx, so performance is very impressive. Before you decide, do take a detailed test 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 Thar Roxx price starts at 12.52 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).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.
