Showing off a more premium stance both in design and features over the Thar 3-door, the Mahindra Thar Roxx exteriors get teased ahead of official debut.

The bumpers now show off a contrasting silver finish as compared to all black bumpers seen on the 3-door while its new 18 inch dual tone alloy wheels add a more premium stance to the 5-door model. Its most leading update is its elongated wheelbase so as to accommodate the two extra doors and added seats at the rear.

Where competition is concerned, the Mahindra Thar Roxx will take on the Force Gurkha 5-door as well as the Maruti Suzuki Jimny. It is expected to be priced from Rs 15 lakh onwards (ex-showroom). However, exact pricing will be revealed at the time of launch with deliveries to commence soon after.
