The SUV features an angled C-pillar, with a triangular rear quarter glass

The design for the Thar Roxx has been out in the open for a few days now with Mahindra having released images of the car in the build-up to the launch. The five-door SUV sports round LED headlights with C-shaped DRLs and fog lights built into the front bumper. It also gets a new, painted grille with a six-slot design. The SUV also features an angled C-pillar, with a triangular rear quarter glass. The overall look however doesn’t stray far from the boxy and upright design of the three-door model with both SUVs sharing a lot of common design elements.  The tail lights on the SUV also remain the same in shape as seen on the three-door version but with slightly different lighting elements.

Coming to the engine options, Mahindra has confirmed that the Thar Roxx will be offered with a diesel engine which churns out 150 bhp, and a petrol engine, producing 160 bhp. Peak torque output is rated at 330 Nm for both engines. This makes the petrol Thar Roxx 10 bhp and 30 Nm more powerful than its three-door sibling while the diesel develops 20 bhp and 30 Nm more. A manual gearbox too has been confirmed though we also expect an automatic to be offered as well. The SUV is also expected to be offered in rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations.

The new Thar Roxx goes up against the Force Gurkha 5-Door that was launched in the Indian market earlier this year.
