Mahindra Thar Roxx Front (imege used for representation purposes only)

  • The Thar Roxx uses the same turbo-petrol and diesel engine options as the 3-door Thar, but in a higher state of tune. 

  • Talking about the manual variants of both SUVs, the Thar Roxx turbo-petrol makes 10 PS more power and 10 Nm more torque compared to 3-door Thar, while the diesel engine offers 20 PS more power and 30 Nm higher torque output than that on the regular Thar.

  • In automatic, the bigger Thar is a lot more powerful than the Thar 3-door in both turbo-petrol and diesel versions. The petrol churns out 25 PS more power, while the diesel engine is 43 PS more powerful than the regular Thar.

Mahindra Thar 4X2

  • However, it is important to note that you get both RWD and 4WD options with the petrol variants of the Thar 3-door, meanwhile the Thar Roxx petrol can only be had with the RWD drivetrain.

  • Just like with the Thar 3-door, the both petrol and diesel engines offered with the Thar Roxx comes paired to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed AT.

  • Mahindra’s bigger Thar however doesn’t get the option of a 1.5-litre diesel engine offered with the 3-door version of the Thar.
