In my opinion, if this thar is to penetrate the kinda luxury suv market at this price point, you have to have a interior like this which feels lux and that too many owners, especially the 5 door ones would not really take it extreme off roading, so while they would have a premium suv which doesnt feel like a jeep one bit from the inside, they have the peace of mind of this being a capable jeep/thar under the bonnet and the exterior too.
A Lotta people complaining about the rear quarter design, interior color, and the roofline. But you know that Mahindra has a winner on its hands that'll outsell the 3 door thar and eat a major chunk of the korean twins market share.
Its to differentiate enough from Wrangler to oppose any lawsuits in the future But the designer they got is the same person who made the macho looking xuv 300 into comparatively less prettier 3xo. The guy is overhyped for the work he do. Not great move at all Get the pninfarina designers for atleast the premium cars of M. Thanks
Had they done the roof flat, then it would look straight up Wrangler and would have to be ready for a lawsuit. Seems like they copied the entire exterior of Wrangler and modified the minor things to avoid getting caught.
My main criticism for this car is Mahindra adding all those comfort and feel good features for the average buyer and this not being targeted towards people who actually want an SUV. So now this is very appealing to all the wannabees in our cities who'll now have all the more reason to drive over footpaths and places where they shouldn't be. Mahindra for sure knows its target audience.
Why is everyone just reviewing the obvious? I would like to know the following: 1. How does 4x2 drive on highways, city and off-road 2. 12.99 lac is just a gimmick. All the variants along with the features should be talked about. Like sunroof doesn't come in 12.99. You just have to shell out a hell lot of money to get that sunroof variant and 19 inchers 3. Is 4x2 gonna skid a whole lot on muddy terrains 4. How much do the dual tone variants start from? 5. For how long a family of 5 can travel in this car without a sore back and butt ET CETRA????
@@humorfulpets yeah of the Wrangler Rubicon - which is not a bad thing at all.. Besides Mahindra was a licensee of the old Jeep since many years - so as the Jeep designs advanced Mahindra too advanced. It has to be modern but still maintain that “Jeepness “ !!! 😀
Just to let you know Rooftop is not plastic bro. It is metal only just colored to look cool in metal black. If you think I am wrong, please have a look in person. Looks are deceiving if you see in the review video or picture. Just
I can't help but find the argument of "road presence" ridiculous. It's nothing but just cope. And why would anyone in their right minds would buy a vehicle because of its road presence. People have started treating vehicles like their Instagram handles, simolyt chasing clout.
A suffix or the title can't change the beauty or the emotions it's attached with! The name is Thar, not Roxx! And even if it is, then jt will definitely Rocks!🔥 Thank you Autocar for such a detailed review!❤️
370NM in an offroader! Good for us Indians to play with but sadly it's losing in International markets. Scorpio N is already getting pushed big time by Tank 300. With Roxx, they had a great chance to develop something significant but it's not the case.
Indian wrangler is known as THAR ROXX 4×4 ❤🎉🎊🎉 No other vehicle can compare with its present features and new looks with offroad capabilities... now a family can enjoy and experience on road and offroad without any doubts along Mahindra THAR😊😄😍
Hey Gavin, you are Perfect to review this car loved your reviews as you are my fav in 4 wheels and Rishad in 2 wheels You guys are just about middle age to make youth and elders comfortable about the driveability
While M&M is overselling their suspension story, I notice the camera mounted somewhere on dashboard shaking overwhelmingly, even the front left seat back :) while Gavin talks about the suspension.
The name 'ROXX' is probably a derivative of the currently selling international product, the Mahindra 'ROXOR'. Since mahindra has big plans to go international, I am guessing this name is supposed to be a successor to this.
Hey this might be completely out of line but I have question: The front extension under the grill... isn't that an added safety hazard? The damage from front impact to the opposite party would be much worse because of the pointed strip right?
Why automobile industry is releasing 40 variants for one vehicle with minor seat color changing also one variant and mostly top end is reaching nearly 30+ lakhs
Fantastic review as always. A brilliant move by Mahindra. This could be one of the best modern urban SUV by Mahindra. Giving more choices to buyers. Also if there could be some options for interiors that would make it even more appealing. Hopefully the wait times would not be crazy like other Mahindras.
I wanted to check this out and finally think about getting a MM car but this makes me go towards the legendary cutie Jimny. Simpler, nicer, smaller in city and it can also do city and highway drives of legal speeds.
4:33 As a 3 door thar owner, that rear door lock always gets stuck when there’s anything obstructing the lock, like a suitcase, bags. Mahindra should really have a look into this
Those complaining about the white leather, I can tell few things to note: Most customers will be city/highway users and less often into off-road situations. People want more status, attention to detail, road presence, and comfort. Hence, the white leather can do the job well, but I also agree that brown/black leather could have been an option for off-road enthusiasts.
I think the designing team knows what they are doing. Cream interior in 5 door thar is fine because the one who buy them are those who like to have a suv experience while also having feature confort of normal premium cars. The serious offroaders will go for 2 door as they are good for offroad.
Quick question. When is the Scorpio N upgrade expected. Will that be in beginning of 2025. Can some one give some guidance on that. Also will Scorpio N have ADAS in the upgraded avatar ??
I wonder what would be more practical this roxx with diesel or petrol , or go with the xuv700 4x4 is not much needed and this will be the first car in family 🙂
Just need to add 2 inch lift with 33" mud tyres a nice front bar with winch,rear bar to carry extra fuel and water, a roof rack with roof tent and few more lights. Will make nice tourer.
ROX is a play on ROXOR I think. Mahindra is possibly aiming the US market with this looks like. Lookwise they have specifically addressed the trademark points on which they lost to JEEP and kept a name which sounds very similar to ROXOR which has become a cult ATV in USA.
Thar Roxx is one of the better made machines in the price segment that it is coming in. But I would still prefer my Gurkha (5 door) because I can seat 7 people and put luggage on the roof.
I drive 1000kms a month on an average. Which fuel is better for me? Petrol mileage is low, around 8 i am told, while diesel has dpf issues. I drive mostly in the city.
The new Mahindra Thar Roxx 4×4 has received positive reviews, but there's little mention of the absence of a petrol 4×4 option in the top model. Given its adventurous design, the diesel model may face challenges in extreme conditions, such as -10°C temperatures, due to the higher flash point of diesel fuel, which can cause difficult cold starts. Has the automaker introduced any new technology in this model to address the serious cold start issues experienced in older versions?

If this was the MTV Era, the name ROXX would have made the country go crazy! I still can't believe that this name got approved
With the double Xs 😂
The name is always the Thar roxx boxx socks are suffix and does not matter
What? Someone explain
ROXX looks like a word an Old Uncle would think its cool for young people 🤘🥸🤙 cant wait Thar ROXX RIZZ Edition 😂
This isnt a one off case!!
Thank you for not screaming like other car reviewers.😊

Autocar, please, we need videos in 4K now.
At least 1080p 60fps
Actually it is soo blur
Why do you wanna see things you can't afford in 4k
Dekhna to tune redmi ke phone me hi hai.
Rich boy
Thar “Roxx” is a hilarious name for a car in 2024
kirmada would've been fire though
Mahindra has Roxor
In every review in TH-cam I found the cream/white coloured interiors were criticised. I wonder who at Mahindra design team decided on that colour!!
In my opinion, if this thar is to penetrate the kinda luxury suv market at this price point, you have to have a interior like this which feels lux and that too many owners, especially the 5 door ones would not really take it extreme off roading, so while they would have a premium suv which doesnt feel like a jeep one bit from the inside, they have the peace of mind of this being a capable jeep/thar under the bonnet and the exterior too.
There should have been few more choices in interior colour
That's the problem with promoter-driven companies. There's no democracy. One babu decides, people are forced to abide.
There are marketing it as lifestyle vehicle not an offroader
That's the reason
There are marketing it as lifestyle vehicle not an offroader
That's the reason
The ADAS in XUV700 works perfect. Especially AEBS. You will feel blessed when it intervenes.
have you used it or experienced it?
Honestly this is much better than previous one .. practical as well ...plus added much needed features ❤

Damn! Kerala has some gigantic houses
A 2 storey house is default
@@manavalanp2123 you need to downsize lol some of those homes are way too big
That's avg house of an nri in kerala
@@AditiSharma22-c3v yeah. The previous generation was obsessed with building massive houses as they lived in small houses and huts before
Doesn't make sense. This was shot in Goa if I'm not wrong
An addition of the letter 'i' at the end would have given a new meaning. My Nepalese friend would agree nonetheless 😂

Ha ha ha

They need to manage the supply n demand. MX3 auto petrol to me is the vfm version here.
@@nsbhagwat Went and got myself in queue😂😂 they only accepted Adhar n pan, they said bookings open October.
awkward C pillar and wavy roof are the spoilsport
And, these are the only parts designed by Mahindra. Rest all other parts are a straight blatant copy of Jeep Wrangler
Its to differentiate enough from Wrangler to oppose any lawsuits in the future
But the designer they got is the same person who made the macho looking xuv 300 into comparatively less prettier 3xo. The guy is overhyped for the work he do. Not great move at all
Get the pninfarina designers for atleast the premium cars of M. Thanks
All the powertrain options driven and discussed thoroughly. Impressed with the content❤
A 26 minute review video from Autocar. Thar Roxx sure must be some benchmark product.
A moment of Silence for all the 3 doors Thar owners.😭😭
Bhai Kuch bhi Keh loo, 3 door Thar, will be more effective during off-road action, compared to 5 door. Both will be niche in their own ways.....
This is for rich people show off. 3 door is for off-roading
Why?
Why?
I'd STILL GET THE 3DR ANYDAY. Why buy this when you have the XUV 🧐
I loved everything in this car except for the roof design...it remindes me of Bolero and old Armada...they should have made it flat like Jeep wrangler
Atleast, let Mahindra design roof alone. Anyway, rest of the vehicle is a copy of Jeep Wrangler
Had they done the roof flat, then it would look straight up Wrangler and would have to be ready for a lawsuit.
Seems like they copied the entire exterior of Wrangler and modified the minor things to avoid getting caught.
Probably one of the best reviews in automotive journalism. Well done

It’s beautiful.. the most proportionate SUV Bharath has ever produced.. ❤
Yeah a copy of jeep Wrangler

Beggars like u who can't afford even an Alto will say things like these 😂

Thar road presence is enough
Side design is not that bad, it has its own beauty for the beholder.
I can't help but find the argument of "road presence" ridiculous.
It's nothing but just cope. And why would anyone in their right minds would buy a vehicle because of its road presence. People have started treating vehicles like their Instagram handles, simolyt chasing clout.
Such smooth presentation. Best Thar Roxx review so far❤

The name ROXX really SUXX.

Idk why but when I heard “more than the size though, it’s how big the opening is that’s truly impressive”.. that caught me off guard 6:39
Excellent review , somehow reminded me of Mahindra armadas of 90's ..
Best simple, to the point review ❤
Bring "Kartikeya Singhee" in your car review videos, his impressive and interesting reviews can hold the viewers till the end of the video.
The lap timer could be for off road courses.
Thank you for showing the car in daylight.
Hey Gavin, you are Perfect to review this car loved your reviews as you are my fav in 4 wheels and Rishad in 2 wheels
You guys are just about middle age to make youth and elders comfortable about the driveability
The steep inclination of the roof at front doesn’t allow the panoramic sunroof to be stretched over to the driver.
Starting from 19:53 : That is Kochi Metro pillars and Container roads.
If I am not wrong you are driving between Kalamassery to Aluva Route.
Peaceful,calm review..👏👏
While M&M is overselling their suspension story, I notice the camera mounted somewhere on dashboard shaking overwhelmingly, even the front left seat back :) while Gavin talks about the suspension.
Here for Gavin..!!
At 10:54 you can already see the threads coming off. If this is the build quality for the visible parts, what about the parts that are not visible?
Gavin talking about John and Farhan but he didn't know he's not less then them😅
As always very good presentation by Auto car India... keep it up guys❤
Very Nice Review, gave us Buch of information Gavin👍🏼
Nice one as always Gavin enjoyed the video and the content ❤
The name 'ROXX' is probably a derivative of the currently selling international product, the Mahindra 'ROXOR'. Since mahindra has big plans to go international, I am guessing this name is supposed to be a successor to this.
font looks same too.
Front looks amazing but the side profile sucks
Hey this might be completely out of line but I have question: The front extension under the grill... isn't that an added safety hazard? The damage from front impact to the opposite party would be much worse because of the pointed strip right?
If a wonder is to be described is That Roxx and so much of love for the Mahindra for this massive growth.😍
At 18:52 we see the passenger seat shudder. And shortly after that the host speaks of refinement. I feel the review is far from the truth.
Why automobile industry is releasing 40 variants for one vehicle with minor seat color changing also one variant and mostly top end is reaching nearly 30+ lakhs
That too with price difference of lakhs between variants with minor changes in features....
good video always best of all thank you, n one thing just change front grill and boy oh boy it will be wrangler
Fantastic review as always. A brilliant move by Mahindra. This could be one of the best modern urban SUV by Mahindra. Giving more choices to buyers. Also if there could be some options for interiors that would make it even more appealing. Hopefully the wait times would not be crazy like other Mahindras.
Mahindra is keeping legendary suv alive
Why am I seeing this as refined/
upgraded Bolero through my old eyes...
Very good review, answers many questions but not all. How is the RWD petrol AT compared to Seltos, Creta and Elevate ?
Hi, Nice review as always and are they planning to plonk the 1.5 diesel engine in the Thar ROXX as well?
Mahindra Maxx vibes. Waiting for the 7 seater version
I wanted to check this out and finally think about getting a MM car but this makes me go towards the legendary cutie Jimny. Simpler, nicer, smaller in city and it can also do city and highway drives of legal speeds.
Bring all 4x4 suvs off road day
And also comparison of roxx, Gurkha 5 door and scorpion manual 4x4
still no 4K....
Their video production is one of the worst. Their colour grading is also one of the worst, just crank up the saturation
@@saiiiii8683 rightly said. that too after being such a "big magazine company".
solo creators make better videos nowadays.
Mahindra nailed it but I wish interior had single tone and rugged option too
You were driving through kerala❤❤❤
And we can see kuzhimanthi in malayalam😃😃😃🤩🤩🤩
gross!!
Well summed up Gavin!👍
Gazab banae diyoo se Mahindra team ne yoo...wahh mazaae aae gava re
Are we going to get 4X4 AX7L petrol. This is the model I want
Autocar brought in the big guns to review the new OG.
Nicely presented by Gavin..very sophisticated presentation for the Thar Roxx😊
4:33
As a 3 door thar owner, that rear door lock always gets stuck when there’s anything obstructing the lock, like a suitcase, bags. Mahindra should really have a look into this
The front looks like a combination of Jeep and Ford Broncho
If you compare the Roxx with Tata Safari - what would you choose? I'm considering both..please share some inputs!
Those complaining about the white leather, I can tell few things to note: Most customers will be city/highway users and less often into off-road situations. People want more status, attention to detail, road presence, and comfort. Hence, the white leather can do the job well, but I also agree that brown/black leather could have been an option for off-road enthusiasts.
WONDERFUL PRODUCT FROM MAHINDRA, AND I FEEL IT WILL FIRE THE SUV MARKET NOW, WITH TOUGH COMPETITION FOR MANY BRANDS. GREAT OF YOU MAHINDRA
Wow, what a wonderful product from M&M. Well done! The car looks very butch, comfortable and most importantly desirable!
Thar Roxx is going to be top seller in the state like Arunachal Pradesh. This is just awesome 👌.
I think jimny will out sell it in the North East
Great video! ❤ Nice work, Mahindra!
I’ve already chosen the colour now…just waiting for the balance to grow from ₹151 to ₹14L!!!
LOVE FROM PUNE MAHARASHTRA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 ❤🥰😊🙂😘😍☺😀🥰❤❤❤

Cream interior in 5 door thar is fine because the one who buy them are those who like to have a suv experience while also having feature confort of normal premium cars.

video amazing car also rocks but Mahindra electronics and service experience hope they work well
New grill makes it look much wider and balanced from the front
It's a Rockstar
Imagine some ROXX Thars are in garages now converting to Rubicon vedeos awaited on TH-cam 🎉😊
I wonder what would be more practical this roxx with diesel or petrol , or go with the xuv700 4x4 is not much needed and this will be the first car in family 🙂
Thar petrol or diesel which is better option? Any suggestions pls
is Gavin around only for 10 years.. thought he has been doing this since the 2000s if not earlier
Just need to add 2 inch lift with 33" mud tyres a nice front bar with winch,rear bar to carry extra fuel and water, a roof rack with roof tent and few more lights. Will make nice tourer.
When are you going to give us a road test of the Thar Roxx.
I also hope that Mahindra people make a pick-up on this model
aah the greenery of Kerala.....

Nice review. Does the ADAS radar work well despite fitting the number plate on the bumper. what happens if number plate starts shaking in future
I drive 1000kms a month on an average. Which fuel is better for me? Petrol mileage is low, around 8 i am told, while diesel has dpf issues. I drive mostly in the city.
Do you get without sun roof because we could add a carrier ladder above for camping luggage on roof
Lower variants come without sunroof.
