For many years, the Mahindra Thar has been known as a niche off-roader. It is capable of traversing a wide range of terrains, perfect for off-roading experiences, and is affordable. However, over time, its value and distinction from other vehicles has diminished as its looks have become too common on city roads, losing its sole purpose as an off-roader. Especially with the new Thar Roxx, you’ll find that it loses its practicality as an off-roader as design and functionality take precedence over off-road capabilities. Why not an off-roader anymore? When you see the Thar Roxx, you will notice that the new 5-door design and the rich features that come with it are the major changes. The new wheelbase and interior styling of the Roxx are the key highlights of the reduced off-road capabilities.
