Mahindra Thar Roxx first drive review: A bold new contender
Mahindra Thar Roxx: First drive of new five-door SUV impresses Mahindra & Mahindra has once again created a buzz with its Independence Day launch tradition. We recently had the opportunity to test drive the much-anticipated Mahindra Thar Roxx and here are our detailed first impressions of this exciting new SUV. Larger size, better feel The Thar Roxx takes the popular 3-door Thar design and stretches it into a roomier, more premium 5-door model. The Roxx measures 4,428mm in length (443mm longer than the previous model) and is also wider and taller. The increase in length mainly benefits the wheelbase, which has been lengthened by 400mm, providing more interior space and a 644-litre boot capacity.
