Powertrains the SUV Will Have

The Mahindra Thar Roxx 5-Door will come equipped with robust engine options, both petrol and diesel. The petrol variant features a 2.0-liter Turbo engine borrowed from the XUV700 and Scorpio N. The base and mid-level trims will deliver 160 BHP and 330 Nm of torque, while the top-spec trims offer a higher output of 175 BHP and 380 Nm.

On the diesel side, the SUV utilizes the 2.2-liter 2nd Gen mHawk engine. Lower and mid trims deliver 150 BHP and 350 Nm of torque, whereas the higher-spec variants push this to 172 BHP and 370 Nm. Both engine options are available with 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Additionally, from mid-spec variants onwards, Mahindra offers a 4×4 configuration with both petrol and diesel engines.

Platform & Suspension

The upcoming Thar Roxx is built on Mahindra’s new “4G Platform,” derived from the Scorpio-N’s “3G Platform.” This new platform is 40 kg lighter, utilizing advanced high-strength steel to enhance structural rigidity.

The suspension setup features an independent Double Wishbone system at the front and a Multi-Link Suspension at the rear, borrowed from the Scorpio-N. To further enhance ride quality, the Thar Roxx incorporates “Frequency Dependent Damping” technology.

Off-road Capabilities

Here’s the details of it’s off-road capabilities –

• Approach Angle – 41.3 Degrees
• Departure Angle – 36.1 Degrees
• Ramp Over Angle – 23.6 Degrees
• Water Wading Capacity – 650 mm

The Thar Roxx excels in off-road performance, with an impressive approach angle of 41.3 degrees, a departure angle of 36.1 degrees, and a ramp-over angle of 23.6 degrees. It boasts a water-wading capacity of 650 mm, making it suitable for various challenging terrains. The SUV is equipped with all-around disc brakes, a sturdy metallic hard roof, electronic brake locking differentials, and dedicated terrain modes for Snow, Sand, and Mud.

What Features Does it Get?

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is set to outshine its rivals like the Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha 5-Door with a feature list that could compete with compact SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara. Key features include front ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.25-inch digital cluster with navigation, a premium Harman Kardon sound system, a 360-degree surround-view camera, Blind View Monitor, and Level 2 ADAS.

Enhanced 4-Wheel-Drive (4WD) System

The Thar Roxx 5-Door incorporates the advanced 4Xplor 4WD system, similar to that in the Scorpio-N. It includes electronic brake locking and electronic locking differentials, and unlike a shift-on-fly system, it employs a traditional lever as seen in the Thar 3-door. The SUV also features a low-ratio gearbox, a crawl assist system allowing speeds between 2.5 kmph and 30 kmph, and ‘Intelli Turn Assist’ to minimize the turning radius by locking the inner wheels during tight turns.

Our Review

The Mahindra Thar Roxx 5-Door SUV is set to be a game-changer in the off-road segment, combining powerful engines, advanced platforms, and a feature-rich package that appeals to both adventure enthusiasts and urban drivers alike. We expect Mahindra to keep the starting price from Rs. 15 Lakhs.
