Mumbai, August 14: Homegrown SUV maker Mahindra & Mahindra is a few hours away from officially launching the Thar Roxx SUV in the country. The 5-door Thar SUV is undoubtedly one of the most-anticipated launches of the year. Bookings are expected to commence immediately after the launch. Delivery details could be confirmed post-price announcement. Here’s what to expect from the upcoming 5-door Thar.

On several occasions, Mahindra has tested the features of the Thar Roxx on its social media channels. Taking them into consideration, the SUV will sport an aggressive distinctive-looking six-slat grille with C-shaped LED DRLs, fog lamps and turn indicators that come housed in the front bumpers, 18-inch alloy wheels, 4X4 badging, tail-gate mounted spare wheel, and LED taillights. Audi Q8 Facelift Teased Ahead of Launch Slated on August 22 (Watch Video).

Mahindra Thar Roxx will borrow its powertrain options from its three-door sibling that is offered with a choice of petrol and diesel engines. We expect some tuning for enhanced output. While the former is a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol mill while the latter is a 2.2-litre diesel unit. Transmission options will include either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.
