Mahindra Thar Roxx: Expected Powertrains

The homegrown brand has confirmed sharing of 2-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines from the Scorpio N in a similar state of tune. Power and torque figures of the former and latter mills are in the 160-175  bhp/330-380 Nm and 150-172 bhp/350-370 Nm ranges, respectively. Both the units will be paired to either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, whereas, mid to top spec trims will house a 4x4 system. Sources close to us tell us that the electronically locking differential is reserved for the range-topping Thar Roxx. A 1.5-litre diesel is likely to be offered in RWD format.
