The upcoming Thar 5-door will arrive on Independence Day but the details have already been revealed.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx has been unveiled ahead of the August 15 launch. Thar Roxx will be the 5-door iteration of the existing Thar. The new model will offer a stretched wheelbase and a larger boot compartment. This will enhance the practicality of the Thar multifold. In fact, the Indian auto giant wishes to make it a large family SUV with incredible off-roading capabilities. The 3-door version is already a revered product among adventure seekers. It will be intriguing to see if the 5-door avatar is able to replicate that success.
Mahindra Thar Roxx Unveiled
The official images have been shared by the mahindrathar handle on Instagram. They reveal the entire exterior styling of the Thar Roxx. At the front, it gets round LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs, a redesigned grille in comparison to the 3-door model, a clamshell bonnet, a dual-tone rugged bumper with fog lamps on the bumper, LED lights on the fenders, etc. On the sides, there are new dual-tone alloy wheels which elevate the road presence of the SUV. Apart from that, it also gets side steps to enhance the ingress and egress characteristics of the SUV. The side section shows the addition of the rear door along with colossal wheel arches with black cladding. The extended wheelbase becomes apparent in these pics.
The official trailer had already revealed a few key details a few days ago. The cabin of the Thar Roxx will be much more premium compared to the regular Thar. We will experience things like a digital instrument cluster, a large free-standing touchscreen infotainment display, physical buttons for HVAC, a large panoramic sunroof, perforated upholstery, dual-stitching on the dashboard, chrome surrounds on the AC vents, 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, soft-touch materials on the dashboard, Harman Kardon music system, adaptive cruise control, ADAS, and a dedicated differential lock. Hence, the safety and off-roading traits of the new Thar Roxx will be impressive.

The Mahindra Thar Roxx will be based on the same platform as the Scorpio N. Hence, apart from the added amenities inside the cabin, the Thar Roxx will get a roomier cabin with better legroom and a bigger compartment. It will ensure that families will able to go on weekend trips with all their luggage. The details pertaining to the powertrains and prices will be showcased on the Independence Day. I expect it to carry a 1.5-litre turbo diesel, a 2.0-litre turbo petrol or a 2.2-litre turbo diesel mill with manual and automatic transmissions. Needless to say, the sophisticated 4×4 technology will be the biggest attraction.
