Mahindra Thar Roxx targets Creta and other mid-size SUVs | First Drive Review |

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

Ride, dynamics, handling, performance.. love the way the review starts at Evo India.. unlike ventilated seats, 55 inch display, size of sunroof etc

The biggest thing missing from the interior of the thar roxx is a bottle holder in the door panels. How the Mahindra designers managed to screw up this basic requirement is beyond me.

Mahindra has given a tight slap to TATA Motors and its woke mentality. Customer is king and if you don't listen to the customer, you'll suffer. TATA Motors have been lost with their woke mentality while designing SUVs. Now, they should hopefully learn!

Very true yaar I hate them for killing the OG safari(dicor/storme). See how mahindra improved the scorpio over the years and now it's a legend. Whereas tata abandoned the safari,sumo,sierra,even hexa.

Nice video, overall a very good 5 door Thar from Mahindra, name - roxx is odd though, with few cons(nitpicking) here - 1. Rear seat slider, given the large boot space 2. Front seats under thigh support 3. Dark color upholstery needed, white is hard to maintain 4. Lane assist camera in mirrors helps during offroading too 5. Frame of the rear seems unpropotional.

[@michaelachouhan145]

Waiting for my Thar Roxx AX7L -DAT RWD ...am having dreams of it already😊 big car is my dream car and i fell in love with Roxx in first sight🥰 Did 2x test drive so am making sure am making the right decision for myself and family. First priority is the safety and then looks and comfort. I am not a fan of white color for cars for i see here in India it's so common, but seeing the Roxx. I love it in White and black combination, looks so elegant and rugged cool. Seeing a lady driving this kind of car is totally cool. I often drive around 740km from Daman to Goa with MT and its so tiring for me. So i have decided to get AT , at first i was liking MT for the thrill of driving and power but after doing a test drive, the acceleration and comfort really excites me thinking i will be driving for 15 hours🥴 . Having bad roads during monsoon or even road construction this will be Best to use, my confidence on hitting the bumpy road will be easy😅 Hoping i can have a good news soon from Mahindra, Thar Roxx will be hitting no. 1 By the way, in the video when u mentioned about the features almost all what we need is in the car, I actually have mentioned to the Mahindra agent that only lacking is a MASSAGER 😅😊😊 Thank u for making the video in English. 2:49

Can anyone confirm whether the 175 bhp diesel is only available for the 4x4 variants and not in the 4x2 variants?

[@mailtonithik]

I appreciate your honest reviews, especially when you mention some of the negatives or cons-it makes you trustworthy. I have elderly family members, and I'm concerned about the suspension. Does it significantly impact comfort? How would you rate or compare the suspension? I don’t mind ingress and egress, but I’m particularly interested in the rear seat comfort-will it cause any back pain or discomfort during long drives? That's my primary concern about this vehicle. All other features of the car I like the most.

This color is slowly going to be a hit, such a lovely color it is

[@sagarjawaress]

One question Sirish. Can it replace the mid sized so called SUVs? Becoz i guess they are very practical for daily commuters than the thar considering mileage and comfort and ease of drive? I guess Thar is for who have more than one car since nobody wants to sit upright daily in a SUV. Whats your take? For me say the creta diesel ticks all the boxes expect safety that the Curvv ICE will provide.

[@sirishch]

This can be a good option. Seriously. Roxx can be a good daily driver too. Mileage is lower but that’s about all I can think of

Hi Shirish, firstly lovely video, can see you loved driving the Roxx around. Whats the real world mileage for inside city drives like Mumbai ? Also for me, while White looks good, not an appropriate color for daily usage, also the serious lack of storage for bottles - c'mon a long trip w/o water ?? Probably the next iteration would have a solution to it

[@sagarjawaress]

Because the 2nd row is too cramped for it to be a mass-market SUV. This could have easily been fixed by making it adjustable - with a move forward/back rail below. At 21 Lakhs On Road (NCR), one can buy spacious 7 seaters, most don't go offroading with their body on frame SUVs. 😊
