Mahindra Thar Roxx To Come With Single & Panoramic Sunroof Options

The long-awaited Mahindra Thar Roxx will finally be unveiled in the country today. The 5-door Thar will come with several segment-first features, which are missing in its rivals as well as in the 3-door Thar. Moreover, the Thar Roxx will be the first model based on ladder-frame chassis to offer a panoramic sunroof. 

Not just a panoramic sunroof, the Mahindra Thar Roxx will also come with a single pane electric sunroof. Firstly, the lifestyle SUV is built on the modified 3G platform that underpins the Scorpio N. It comes with a sheet metal body and a fixed metal roof, which is required to install an electric sunroof. 

Mahindra has officially teased the Thar Roxx with a panoramic sunroof. However, previous sightings reveal that the lifestyle SUV also gets a single-pane electric sunroof. While the panoramic sunroof will be offered in the top trims, the lower variants are most likely to offer a single pane sunroof. 

Note - the Mahindra Scorpio-N is offered only with a single pane sunroof. Going by the latest Mahindra strategy, we believe that the updated Scorpio-N could offer a panoramic sunroof. 

What's Under The Hood?

The new Mahindra Scorpio-N will be offered with two engine options - a 2.2-litre turbo diesel and a 2.0-litre turbo petrol. While the former is tuned to offer two states of tunes - 150bhp with 350Nm, and 172Nm with 370Nm, the gasoline unit also offers two states of tunes - 160bhp with 330Nm, and a 175bhp with 380Nm. Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic. 

The new Mahindra Thar Roxx will come with an independent front suspension setup with double wishbones and a multilink rear setup with Watts linkage. Adding to it, it will get 'Frequency Dependent Damping' technology. The SUV has a water wading capacity of 650mm. 

Similar to the Scorpio-N, the Thar Roxx will come with Mahindra's 4Xplor off-road setup with an electronic brake locking differential (E-BLD) and an electronic locking differential (ELD). The SUV will also receive Crawl Smart Assist and Intelli Turn Assist functions, which further aids off road abilities.
