The 5-door iteration of the Mahindra Thar is just one day away as we take a look at what we already know.
The Mahindra Thar Roxx is about to launch in less than 24 hours. This post will cover all aspects that are known about the off-roading SUV via official teasers or spy media. The Indian auto giant was testing the 5-door Thar for a long time. In fact, it took the SUV across various terrains in our country to ensure that the vehicle is able to perform greatly in every scenario. Hence, we have received the spy images of the test mule from Himalayas, mountain trails, deserts and well-paved highways. Let us take a look at the details of what we know about the Mahindra Thar Roxx.
Mahindra Thar Roxx to Launch Tomorrow
Via the official teasers from Mahindra in the last few days, we came to know about various new aspects that the Thar will bear. In essence, the SUV will be much larger than the 3-door Thar, thanks to the platform of Scorpio N. Also, the interior will be much more feature-rich to pamper the occupants. The top highlights inside the cabin include:
- 10.25-inch Free-Standing Touchscreen Infotainment Display
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- 10.25-inch Digital Instrument Cluster
- Perforated Upholstery
- Ventilated Front Seats
- Large Panoramic Sunroof

In terms of powertrains, the Mahindra Thar Roxx will offer multiple options. These include a 2.2-litre turbo petrol engine in two states of tunes – 160 hp / 330 Nm and 175 hp / 380 Nm. On the other hand, you will also be able to go for the 2.0-litre diesel mill, again, in two versions – 150 hp / 350 Nm and 175 hp / 380 Nm, respectively. Performing the transmission duties will either be a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission. It will also get dedicated hardcore 4×4 capabilities to ensure ease of travel even on challenging terrains. Other thing it will borrow from the Scorpio N will be the Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) shock absorbers with penta-link rear suspension.

Our View
Mahindra is about to change the game with the more practical iteration of the most successful off-roading SUV in the country. At present, the process of ingress and egress for the passengers is quite cumbersome. However, with the addition of a door for the second row occupants, practicality will be greatly enhanced. Apart from that, the legroom and the boot capacity will increase significantly due to the extended length and wheelbase. We will get to experience all details tomorrow.
