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.
-
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.

At the very first glance, you will find Thar Roxx as a more premium looking alternative to its 3-door version. This is because it gets an all-LED lighting setup, C-shaped LED DRLs, and bigger 19-inch alloy wheels.
-
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.
