Mahindra has long been synonymous with rugged off-road vehicles that excel on harsh terrain, and the Thar Roxx is the latest iteration of this legacy. While it carries forward the off-road DNA that has made the Thar a fan favourite, the Roxx aims to balance this with enhanced urban usability as well. The first thing about the Thar Roxx that grabs your attention is its size.
Boasting a long wheelbase and a squared-off look, it has a rather imposing presence on the road. Up front, you get a neat new grille that sets it apart from the three-door version. There are now projector headlights which improve visibility and the bumper has a strong chiselled look that complements the overall package.
View it from the side and those large 19-inch alloys do their part in bringing out the go-anywhere attitude that the Roxx wears with elan. The flat doors look good, however there is a fair amount of polarity as to how the door handle at the rear has been integrated as well as that slanting piece of metal which makes up the C-pillar.

The other grouse that has risen about the design is the roof line with a slight chisel above the rear door. Again, this is an argument that has no end and while it will be questioned, the overall design package actually works and the Thar Roxx has that rugged appeal going for it.
