The Mahindra Thar Roxx specifications split cleanly by engine, gearbox and drivetrain, so the spec sheet is worth study. The choices decide whether you get a road-friendly cruiser or a proper trail machine. Each option shapes both comfort and capability.
The 2.0 litre turbo petrol makes up to 174 bhp, while the 2.2 litre diesel makes up to 172 bhp with 400 Nm. Both offer six-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. Only the diesel gets four-wheel drive, which is the honest pick for real off-road work. Both engines keep strong torque low in the rev range.
At 4428 mm long on a 2850 mm wheelbase, the Roxx is longer and roomier than the three-door Thar. Ground clearance of 226 mm keeps it capable on rough ground. A 447 litre boot and five seats make it far more usable for family trips and gear. Healthy approach angles help it off tarmac.
On fuel the diesel is rated at 15.2 kmpl in every form, ahead of the petrol at 12.4 kmpl. As a tall, heavy off-roader, real figures drop in traffic and on trails. If economy matters, compare the Thar Roxx fuel numbers before you commit. The 57 litre tank suits long touring between fills.
Safety runs to six airbags, ESP, hill hold and a 360 camera on higher trims. Low-range gearing and drive modes back the diesel 4WD off tarmac. Once a grade suits you, browse the Thar Roxx colour range to finish the choice. Water wading and hill descent aids back its off-road brief.
