Mahindra Thar Roxx : Mahindra’s Thar Roxx roars into India’s SUV scene like a modern Land Rover Defender reborn—boxy, brutal, and unapologetically rugged, but loaded with luxury touches that make premium rivals blush.
This 5-door beast stretches the iconic Thar into family territory with 235mm ground clearance, 4×4 prowess, and a feature fiesta including panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and Level 2 ADAS, all starting at Rs 12.25 lakh ex-showroom.
For middle-class adventurers from Narnaul backroads to Delhi freeways, it’s the off-road king gone plush—172bhp diesel torque, 15.2 kmpl thrift, and 5-star crash safety without the Rs 25 lakh Land Rover tag. Launched mid-2024, 2025 updates keep it hot, blending hardcore heritage with everyday opulence.
Boxy Defender Vibes: Rugged Looks That Command Roads
Channeling Defender’s upright stance, the Thar Roxx flaunts towering LED headlights with C-shaped DRLs piercing fog, a seven-slat grille sucking air aggressively, and massive wheel arches swallowing 19-inch alloys in 255/60 rubber.
4428mm long, 1923mm tall, it looms intimidating—Stealth Black, Desert Brown, or Everest White dual-tones pop Instagram-tough. Removable roof panels and doors scream open-air fun, side steps ease climbs, rear spare wheel nods trail-ready.
Ground clearance 235mm (226mm loaded) laughs at ruts, 447L boot (1230L folded) hauls camping gear—approach 41°, departure 36° conquer 650mm wades.
It’s not softened; water fording, rock crawl modes keep Defender soul alive, but 5 doors seat five comfy sans 3-door cramps.
