Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition Launched At Rs 16.85 Lakh; Gets Cosmetic Updates For A STEALTH Look

Mahindra has launched the Thar Roxx Star Edition at Rs 16.85 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom). This special edition of the beloved off-roader focuses mainly on visual updates, with fresh exterior and interior colour schemes that are sure to woo the Roxx fans. 

It seems that Mahindra has positioned this version more towards family buyers, as it is not offered with a four-wheel-drive system. If you’re wondering what’s new in the Thar Roxx Star Edition, here’s a closer look at what it brings. But before that, let’s discuss prices first:

• The Mahindra Thar Roxx Star edition comes equipped with almost all the bells and whistles, which we'll be talking about next.

Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition: What’s New?

The Star Edition is primarily about visual upgrades. It introduces a new Citrine Yellow exterior colour that helps the Thar Roxx stand out on the road, while Tango Red, Everest White and Stealth Black continue to be available as well. 

Adding to its distinct identity, the SUV gets a ‘Star Edition’ badge on the C-pillar. It also features piano-black 19-inch alloy wheels and a piano-black grille, both of which lend the Thar Roxx a more aggressive and purposeful look.

On the inside, Mahindra has finally offered a darker black-and-grey cabin theme. This is a welcome update, as the light Ivory White interior is tough to keep clean on a daily basis. Although it must be noted that Mahindra addressed this concern earlier with a Mocha Brown interior.

Besides, there are no significant feature updates to this edition. It gets all the highlights like a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, a 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, ventilated front seats, a 6-way powered driver’s seat, auto AC with rear vents, keyless entry and a cooled glovebox.

Safety features include 6 airbags (as standard), disc brakes on all wheels, an electronic parking brake with auto hold function, a 360-degree camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Powertrain Options

The overall powertrain specifications of the Thar Roxx are as follows:

• The special Star Edition is offered with all the engine-transmission configurations except for the turbo-petrol manual (which isn’t available with the AX7 L.

• Do note the Star Edition can only be had with a rear-wheel drivetrain. So if your need is a 4X4, there’s no option but to turn your head away from this version of the Roxx.

Rivals

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is essentially a more family-oriented alternative to its quirky 3-door sibling and it also rivals the 5-door Force Gurkha and the Maruti Jimny.
