What owners and experts like about the Mahindra Thar Roxx
Rear seat space
Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews
“You can travel with four people and a decent size of luggage in this car. And all four people can sit comfortably. The rear seat you are seeing is reclined, you can change its angle for a comfortable posture.”
Handling
Strongly positivebased on 9 reviews
“The diesel version doesn't feel any different in the ride and handling department compared to the petrol... the light electric power steering takes care of it so well, it just doesn't make you feel the weight of this big heavy Thar Roxx.”
Parking camera & sensors
Generally positivebased on 5 reviews
“The 360 degree camera also acts as a dash cam — it records video and photos to a memory card that you can extract later as proof if needed. It won't fully replace a dedicated dashcam, but it's good that this surveillance is always on.”
Where the Mahindra Thar Roxx falls short
Not every point below is a serious flaw. Some are mixed opinions where reviewers disagreed, and the label says which.
Dashboard layout
Strongly negativebased on 6 reviews
“This is a cup holder. I could put the bottle inside it if I wanted. But the problem is, it's difficult to reach... forget about this one because it slides. And now, with the update, this one has also started sliding.”
Ride comfort
Generally negativebased on 10 reviews
“Excessive bumpy ride, a lot of body roll — I had to swerve, and when the car jumped over a pothole it wasn't stable at all. Your passengers and family will curse you if they're sitting in the car. Even my mother still doesn't like this car.”
Touchscreen responsiveness
Generally negativebased on 6 reviews
“The infotainment is laggy — sometimes it hangs a little, and then you have to restart it.”
Air conditioning
Generally negativebased on 6 reviews
“Their throw is also not very good. They aren't able to throw air everywhere in the cabin. Sometimes I even have trouble getting air on my face.”
Fit & finish
Mixed reviewsbased on 8 reviews
“While quality in general is pretty decent, there are a few build quality oddities, especially with finer things like the stitching, which is a little bit rough and can be a bit wavy in places.”
