Mahindra Thar Roxx New Teaser Shows Big Infotainment, Digital Instrument Cluster, White Interiors and More

Mahindra plans to launch its new Thar Roxx SUV on August 15 in India. While previous teasers reveal the exterior of the SUV, the latest teaser confirms the presence of a fully digital instrument cluster, along with a large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay – which is likely to be borrowed from the new Mahindra XUV 3XO. Thanks to a soft-touch leatherette finish on the dashboard, the interior of the vehicle looks more premium. Other bits include ventilated seats, beige upholstery, automatic climate control, a Harman Kardon music system, and a panoramic sunroof. We expect higher variants of the Thar Roxx to get a panoramic roof, among other premium features, while the lower- and mid-spec variants could come with a single-pane sunroof. 

In terms of safety, the Thar Roxx could be equipped with up to six airbags, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry, cruise control, electronic stability control, hill-ascent control, ABS with EBD, as well as an ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite.

Compared to the 3-door Thar, the new Thar Roxx (5-door) will be much longer, with two additional doors and a longer wheelbase. At the front, the Roxx will feature updated LED headlamps with C-shaped daytime running lights, as well as a freshly designed grille with Mahindra badging. Along the sides, there will be blacked-out door handles and stylish, dual-tone alloy wheels. The rear end will have an LED tail-lamp setup, rather than halogen units. 

Mahindra Thar Roxx: Engine

Under the hood, the Mahindra Thar Roxx could be offered three engine options: 2.0-litre turbo petrol, 2.2-litre diesel, and new 1.5-litre diesel. Expected transmission options are a six-speed manual and an automatic transmission. The Thar Roxx, like its three-door sibling, will receive both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options.
