Mahindra has been steadily building anticipation for the much-awaited 5-door version of its iconic Thar, aptly named the Thar Roxx. A series of teaser videos have kept enthusiasts on the edge of their seats, offering tantalising glimpses of what’s to come.
A Design Evolution
While the core Thar DNA remains intact, the Roxx brings a fresh perspective with its elongated silhouette. The teaser videos have hinted at a more refined yet rugged design, featuring modern elements like LED lighting and a revamped front grille.
The side profile promises a spacious cabin and enhanced practicality, making it more suitable for everyday use while retaining the off-road prowess of its predecessor.
Features Galore
The interior is expected to be a significant departure from the spartan setup of the 3-door Thar. Teaser images have revealed a dual-tone color scheme, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and modern amenities like automatic climate control and a premium audio system. Safety is a priority, with features like electronic stability control, multiple airbags, and possibly even advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) on the cards.
Powertrains and Performance
Under the hood, the Thar Roxx is likely to carry forward the engine options from the existing Thar, including the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel units. However, expect these powertrains to be tuned for better performance and efficiency. Both manual and automatic transmissions are expected to be offered.
The Wait is Almost Over
With the launch date drawing closer, the anticipation for the Mahindra Thar Roxx is reaching fever pitch. The 5-door Thar has the potential to broaden the appeal of the iconic SUV, attracting a wider audience while retaining the core values that have made the Thar a beloved off-roader.
