Mahindra Thar Roxx : Mahindra’s Thar Roxx dominates 2026 as the five-door evolution of the iconic Thar, blending hardcore off-road DNA with family-friendly space for Chandigarh weekend warriors tackling highways and hidden trails alike.
Launched last year to massive buzz, this body-on-frame beast packs turbo diesel muscle, panoramic sunroofs, and Level 2 ADAS at prices starting under ₹13 lakh, undercutting lifestyle SUVs while delivering genuine 4×4 cred.
Fuel thrift around 15kmpl and massive waiting lists prove it’s more than hype—it’s the Thar grown up without losing grit.
Boxy Brilliance Gets Five Doors
The Roxx’s 4480mm stretched wheelbase adds rear doors without bloating city footprint, C-shaped LED lamps clawing above a massive six-slot grille that screams Thar heritage.
Silver skid plates bookend muscular bumpers, 18-inch alloys—diamond-cut on top trims—shod in 255/60 rubber for 226mm clearance that laughs at ruts.
Fresh dual-tones like Stealth Black roof over Rock Trail Gold pop on showroom floors, roof rails hauling extra kayaks for Kasauli getaways.
Flared arches and chopped rear quarters maintain squat stance, vertical LED tails linking via black bar for wider presence. Side steps ease kid climbs, power tailgate on elites dumping gear fast.
At 1.9 tonnes, it hunkers planted yet climbs curbs nimbly—Mahindra bottled Thar toughness with civilized doors.
Twin Turbos Conquer All Terrains
Diesel flagship: 2.2-litre mHawk (172bhp@3500rpm, 370Nm@1500-3000rpm) mates six-speed AT or MT, 4×4 system shuffling high/low range plus 2WD for thrift.
Petrol TGDi 2.0-litre (159bhp@5000rpm, 330Nm) revs freer via six-speed auto, both posting 12-15kmpl real-world with 57-litre tank stretching 700km hauls.
Terrain Response modes—Sand, Mud, Rock Crawl—twist diffs electronically, rear diff lock biting loose gravel viciously.
0-100kmph dips under 10 seconds loaded, 180kmph tops whispering stability control reins. Water wading hits 600mm, 52:1 crawl ratio scaling boulders slow-motion.
NVH hushed for highways, exhaust burble waking twisties—versatile shove no soft-roader matches.
Cabin Blends Rugged Luxe Comfort
Panoramic sunroof floods light across black-brown leatherette, 10.25-inch touchscreen mirroring wireless CarPlay/Android Auto with Sony 3D audio thumping 9-speakers.
Ventilated seats cool Punjab summers, dual-zone climate zoning rear bliss, heads-up display beaming speeds sans glance-downs.
Captain chairs option on five-seaters? No—sliding bench fits three teens, one-touch folds dumping 447-litre boot to 1285 litres for tents.
360-camera guidelines tight spots, Adrenox Connect geo-fences kids, wireless charger juicing phones mid-jam.
Knurled metal toggles scream quality, cooled console handling water bottles. Rear USBs and vents pamper passengers—rolling lounge for family quests.
Safety Arsenal Matches Global Rigs
Six airbags standard, Level 2 ADAS suite—adaptive cruise, lane keep, auto emergency braking—scans 200m ahead.
ESP with off-road tune, 12-sensors parking blind-spot free, disc brakes all corners hauling 2-tonnes planted.
Five-star Bharat NCAP whispers, roll cage shrugging flips, tyre pressure monitors dodging trail flats.
Pricing Storms Value Mountains

Mid-specs around 17 lakh snag sunroof, ADAS, leather; five-year warranty, resale kissing 90% after two. EMI 15k monthly sweet, diesel thrift drops paise/km.
