Mahindra has set the price for the much-anticipated Thar 5-door, now called the Thar Roxx, with the petrol manual variant at Rs 12.99 lakh and the diesel manual at Rs 13.99 lakh, ex-showroom.
The new Mahindra Thar Roxx offers more practicality than before, while retaining its iconic look. The Thar 5-door is built on the same platform as the Scorpio-N, which is a more refined version of the 3-door Thar's ladder-frame chassis. This gives the SUV added strength and stability. The vehicle features a solid metal roof and a body made from high-strength steel, with reinforced pillars that offer greater durability than previous models.
