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.

When it comes to equipment, the bigger Thar is heavily loaded compared to regular Thar. It not only gets larger 10.25-inch displays, ventilated front seats, and automatic AC, but it also comes with premium features like wireless phone charger, panoramic sunroof, a 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing wipers.

In contrast, the smaller Thar gets a smaller 7-inch touchscreen, analogue instrument cluster, manual AC and a conventional 6-speaker sound system.
Even in terms of safety, the Thar Roxx not only gets more safety features like 6 airbags and 360-degree camera, but it also gets level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The Thar’s safety kit only includes dual front airbags. However both SUVs here get electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and hill hold and hill descent control.
