The Mahindra Thar Roxx is one of India’s most iconic SUVs that has won over adventure seekers and off-road enthusiasts alike with its rugged appeal and prowess. Now, Mahindra has upped the ante with the Thar Roxx, which takes the legendary SUV a few notches higher, making it more worthy for bigger families or to those simply want some more room. If you are wondering about the Thar Roxx’s 7-seater configuration, its price and waiting period (for 2024), we have answered all your questions here.
Is Thar Roxx a 7-Seater?
In short, no the Mahindra Thar Roxx isn’t a 7-seater. Traditionally, the Thar in all its mood board avatars has been a 4-seater, aimed at buyers looking for compact and hardcore SUV. Though, Mahindra has done a lot with the Thar Roxx variant to attract families and groups. When it comes to seating, the Thar Roxx is technically a 6-seater, with two bucket seats in the front row and four seats in the second row.
This interior layout also means the Thar Roxx is more spacious than the standard Thar, though it doesn’t quite extend to being a full-on 7-seater. It appears that the goal here is to offer a slightly more family-friendly alternative without sacrificing too much of what makes the Thar an off-road legend.
Thar Roxx Price: What is the Cost in 2024?
Since the Thar Roxx is more premium and has higher seating capacity than standard Thar, it comes with a relatively higher price tag as well. The Thar Roxx is likely to be priced from approximately ₹15.80 lakh (ex-showroom) in 2024. That carries a price at the bottom of the range, and it can climb based on model choice and any further customization or features you choose to add.
The Thar Roxx focuses on added comfort for the passengers and we believe it will prove to be a worthy companion for those looking at adventurous transport beyond 4-seating capacity. Importantly though, the Thar Roxx gets additional seating without compromising on the legendary off-road capabilities associated with the Thar.
As a point of comparison, the base variant of the standard Mahindra Thar (which is a 4-seater) retails for around ₹10.55 lakh (ex-showroom) so the Thar Roxx is indeed expensive but value-for-money as far as its larger size and features/delivery are concerned.
When is Waiting Period for Thar Roxx in 2024?
Today, one of the crucial aspects followed when buying a new car in India is the waiting period that has become an integral part of the process especially for some high-demand vehicles like the Thar Roxx. The waiting period for the Roxx variant of Thar can vary significantly depending on location, variant and demand, ranging from 3-6 months as per estimates up to 2024.
Thanks to the high demand that Thar is enjoying, the waiting period can go even longer in some high sale areas especially after the introduction of their new Roxx variant which seats more and has additional features. On top of that, Mahindra has been gearing up production to match the onslaught of demand but supply chain constraints could still impact deliveries here and there.
Tip: It is recommended that you contact your nearest Mahindra dealership to get an estimated waiting period for the same, and see if it makes sense for potential customers to pre-book Thar Roxx and secure an early delivery date.
Why Thar Roxx is So Popular?
The Thar Roxx has also rapidly turned into one of the most popular variants in the Thar lineup for many reasons such as:
Expanded Seating:The second row of seats gives more practicality for family/people trips, but expands the space without compromising on the Thar’s off-roading ability.
Rugged But Comfortable: With the Roxx variant, Mahindra did not want to compromise in its quest of making the Thar into an off-road vehicle. Like the standard offering, Thar Roxx comes with 4WD, high ground clearance and a strong suspension system to help navigate both urban roads and rough terrain.
New-age Features: The Thar Roxx also offers an upgraded infotainment system, better seats material and several safety features that put it in direct competition with the premium SUVs.
Adventure Seeking: The Thar Roxx retains its same features like a hardtop, rugged all-terrain tires and heavy-duty engine making it the perfect option for adventure seekers looking for additional seating capacity.
