I visited Kibithu last week, the easternmost motorable point of India. The road conditions were harsh with nearly 70% of the route under construction which tested the driver and the vehicle. The Thar Roxx, with its sturdy build and capable suspension, managed the challenging stretches with ease.The automatic transmission made gear shifts seamless, especially around 2000 RPM, ensuring a smooth driving experience even on challenging inclines. Hairpin bends were conquered effortlessly, with the vehicle maintaining remarkable stability. Despite the demanding terrain, the cabin remained quiet with no noticeable NVH levels, offering a comfortable journey throughout.
On reaching Kibithu felt surreal. At an altitude of over 1400 m, the small border village offered panoramic views of the Lohit River flowing gracefully. taking a detour I reached Kaho, India’s easternmost village with only 14 families residing in this remote settlement, the village reflects simplicity and authenticity. The village is home to the Meyor tribe, an indigenous community known for their warm hospitality and rich cultural heritage.
Coming to the vehicle, from steady climbs and smooth gear shifts to the impressive mileage and cabin comfort, the Thar Roxx showcased unmatched performance throughout the journey. The option of having 4*4 provided confidence on steep inclines and rough tracks, and the automatic gearbox performed seamlessly without lag. The suspension absorbed bumps and potholes effortlessly, making the drive far less taxing than expected.
However, one area where the experience could have been better was the lumbar support. On long stretches, the seats didn’t provide the ideal comfort, and I found myself adjusting every now and then to ease the strain on my lower back. The round trip covered approximately 800 kilometers with a real tank to tank mileage of 12 kmpl.
