Mahindra Thar Roxx: The New Challenger in the Arena for the Scorpio N
Get Ready to Be Roxxed!
Mahindra is all set to disrupt the SUV segment once again with the launch of its highly anticipated Thar Roxx which can also be called Mahindra Thar Armada. Just ahead of the new model’s launch, rumors confirm about the engine and the platform of the upcoming Thar Roxx Set to debut on India’s Independence Day, the 15th of August, the Thar Roxx is poised to give the Scorpio N a run for its money. Let’s dive into what this rugged yet refined SUV has to offer.
A Bold Exterior
The Thar Roxx boasts a striking new design language that seamlessly blends ruggedness with sophistication. Expect a bold front fascia with a dominant grille and signature Mahindra elements. The side profile promises a muscular stance, accentuated by flared wheel arches and stylish alloy wheels. The rear design is likely to be equally impressive, with LED taillights and a sporty bumper.
Roxx will be based on the 4G platform, an updated iteration of the 3G platform that was introduced with the Mahindra Scorpio N two years ago. The updated 4G platform is said to be 40 kg lighter, helping the highway characteristic of the SUV which means you will get improved handling on the roads.
Moreover, the LED headlamps will be provided along with the LED fog lamps. It will also keep the Mahindra signature grill on the front. The roof will be hard only due to the sunroof. The ground clearance will remain the same that is 225mm.
Luxurious Interiors
While the exterior exudes adventure, the interiors of the Thar Roxx are designed for comfort and convenience. Premium materials such as leatherette dashboard, cutting-edge technology, and ample space are expected to define the cabin. Features like a touchscreen infotainment system, connected car technology, a premium audio system, and a sunroof are likely to be on offer.
Other confirmed features include a dual sunroof, dual digital screens (10″ to 12″ touchscreen with digital MID), an ADAS system, ventilated seats which are a must-have in countries like India, and additional comfort over the Thar 3 door. 65 watts C type charging port will be available, a wireless charging feature is also expected, and rear AC vents to cater to rear-seat passengers
Powerful Performance
The Thar Roxx is expected to come with a range of powerful engine options to cater to different driving preferences. Both petrol and diesel variants are likely to be available, offering a perfect blend of performance and efficiency. Mahindra is known for its robust engines, and the Thar Roxx is expected to carry forward this legacy.
the new Thar Roxx is expected to use the same 2.2-litre diesel engine and 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine as the Scorpio N in a different state of tune. The diesel engine will produce 150 bhp and 350 Nm torque on the base variant and 170 bhp and 370 Nm for the higher variant. On the other hand, the petrol engine will produce 160 bhp and 330 Nm for the base variants and 175 bhp and 380 Nm of peak torque for the higher variants. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Mahindra is also expected to offer a smaller 1.5 liter diesel engine in 4×2 version of Thar wich can make a significant difference in the pricing of the SUV and we can expect it to start from mere 16-17 Lakhs. Isn’t it awesome?
Off-Road Prowess
Being a Thar, off-road capabilities are a given. Expect the Roxx to come equipped with features like advanced four-wheel-drive systems, multiple driving modes, and a high ground clearance. These features will ensure that the Thar Roxx can conquer any terrain with ease.
The upcoming new Thar Roxx is also expected to get the same off-road setup as the Scorpio N. This includes an electronic locking differential (ELD) and multiple terrain modes. The Thar Roxx automatic is also expected to get a unique Crawl Smart Assist feature (CSA) and Intelli Turn Assist.
Price and Competition
While the exact pricing details are awaited, we can expect the Thar Roxx to be competitively priced to take on the likes of the Scorpio N. Its combination of style, performance, and off-road capabilities positions it as a strong contender in the segment.
The all-new Mahindra Thar Roxx will be launched on 15 August 2024. Pricing-wise, we expect the Thar Roxx to be priced between Rs 16 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for RWD variants and up to Rs 28 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for the top 4WD variant.
