Mahindra to launch Thar Roxx on August 15 with 5 key upgrades over regular Thar
New Delhi: Mahindra is all set to launch its new Thar Roxx on August 15, 2024. This larger version of the current 3-door Thar is expected to come with a higher price tag due to a host of key upgrades.
The most obvious difference is the Thar Roxx's size. While the sub-4 meter 3-door Thar is roughly the same length as a Tata Nexon, the Thar Roxx will be longer, potentially matching the Mahindra ScorpioN in length. This increase in size will push the Thar Roxx into a higher tax bracket, contributing to its higher price.
The Thar Roxx will feature a major platform update. It will share the same platform as the ScorpioN but in a long-wheelbase version, specially modified for the Thar Roxx. This new platform should provide better ride quality than the current Thar or ScorpioN, and could even be used in future Scorpio models.
As a 5-door vehicle, the Thar Roxx will offer more interior space than the 3-door Thar. The second row will be more spacious and practical, featuring a proper 3-seat layout with more legroom. The boot will also be larger, as indicated by spy images showing it accommodating several large cans.
Under the hood, the Thar Roxx will get new engine options. While the existing Thar offers a 1.5-litre diesel and a 2.0-litre petrol motor, the Thar Roxx is likely to feature the ScorpioN's 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines. These new engines offer better performance, with the petrol engine delivering 200bhp. However, for the RWD models, Mahindra is expected to retain the 1.5-litre diesel engine to keep entry-level models affordable.
Finally, the Thar Roxx will be packed with features, surpassing even the ScorpioN in some aspects. Expected features include a twin 10.25-inch display for the touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, LED headlamps, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, front armrest, rear AC vents, Level-2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, and a panoramic sunroof. These upgrades will make the Thar Roxx more family-friendly by incorporating several luxury elements into the cabin.
