Exclusive launched in Thar Roxx 2024 : Mahindra Thar Roxx SUV launched in India Starting At ₹ 12.99 Lakh
The much awaited 5-door SUV, the Mahindra Thar Rox, has made its formal debut in India. This debut is a major continuation of the Thar tradition, coming after the new generation 3-door SUV was introduced on August 15, 2020. The Thar Rox boasts a longer list of amenities than the 3-door model, improved functionality, and a strong visual appeal to draw in prospective customers.
Base diesel pricing starts at ₹13.99 lakh, while base petrol pricing starts at ₹12.99 lakh. It is anticipated that the costs of the mid- and top-spec versions will be revealed tomorrow.
Engine Options for Mahindra Thar Rox
There are only a few days remaining before the formal launch, and it looks that Autocar India has gotten hold of official documents that outline the SUV’s main features. Two engine options for the Mahindra Thar Rox are reportedly planned: a 2.0L turbo-petrol and a 2.2L turbo-diesel. Two versions of the petrol engine, with 160 HP and 170 HP, will be offered. In contrast, there will be two different states of tune available for the diesel engine, which may produce 132 HP and 171 HP, respectively. A 6-speed manual gearbox (MT) and a 6-speed automatic gearbox (AT) are the other two available gearbox choices.
In comparison to the current 3-door variant, the 5-door Thar will have a more sophisticated suspension system. It will have a back penta-link suspension system and shock absorbers with frequency selective damping (FSD) adapted from Scorpio-N. Moreover, the Thar Rox will have a manually locked differential at the back and an electrical brake-locking differential up front. It will also include a lever-operated low-ratio transfer case, just like the three-door Thar.
There are features like Intelli-Turn Assist and off-road crawl control that off-road aficionados will find appreciated. The Thar Rox provides two breakover angles of 23.6 degrees, four approach angles of 41.3 degrees, and three departure angles of 36.1 degrees for off-road mobility. It is suitable for difficult terrains as well, with a 650 mm water-wading depth.
Design of Mahindra Thar Rox
The Thar Rox has undergone more modifications from Mahindra than was first thought. The thick B-pillars are accommodated by the triangular design of the rear quarter glass. When the top is removed, the Thar Rox has a visually pleasing profile, even though this design could look a little clunky on the hard-top trim.
The Thar Rox also has a sloping roof design, which has generated conflicting views on the internet. The SUV has a new look thanks to redesigned alloy wheels, which are not present on the 3-door model. Its rough aspect is further enhanced by the square wheel arches that have replaced the earlier model’s round rear wheel arches.
In conclusion, the Mahindra Thar Rox’s improved features, cutting-edge engine choices, and distinctive style are sure to have a big effect on the SUV industry. It is anticipated to draw in a broad spectrum of purchasers who are searching for a vehicle that is both capable and versatile for off-road and urban experiences. More information on the features and pricing of the mid- and top-spec variants of this newest member of the Thar family will be available upon its official launch.
