    Of all the cars available in India, my favourite is the Mahindra Thar Roxx. It goes much beyond its rugged looks and presence. The Roxx resonates with me as it embodies adventure and the freedom to explore, it is a go anywhere car, especially with the 4X4, and it has sorted road manners too. The Thar Roxx allows me and my family to take a drive to any place any time, whether it be a spontaneous drive to the hills, going into the city for a shopping spree or tackling our rural roads or even a weekend getaway. The Roxx can take on anything, and it does without compromising much. We own the Thar Roxx AX7L Diesel AT 4WD, and it is ready to take on anything with its raised stance, robust 4 4-wheel drive system, good suspension, and 5-star safety. It inspires confidence and is a lifestyle statement. You tower over others on the road, it turns heads everywhere you go, and with the added practicality, it is an all-rounder. The feature list is endless, with a paNoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, wireless charging, a nine-speaker sound system, a 10.25-inch infotainment and instrument cluster, a 360-degree camera, ADAS and so on.

    The Mahindra Thar Roxx is undoubtedly my most favourite car on sale in India. I'm simply a fan of butch vehicles. Also I love jeeps. It truly has the perfect combination of great looks + powerful engine + practicality + butchness + road presence. It is a very rare combination. Also, I love the looks a lot, especially with the DRLs on. I've never seen a vehicle which has such beautiful retro looks! The interiors are also extremely practical and fairly good in design (could be a bit more better in my opinion). The engine is also powerful, there's adequate space at the rear and a large boot space. Also all that bling and road presence. Who wouldn't want it? Mahindra is also fairly reliable, this being less complex. That's all that one really needs in a car. That's why it's my most favourite car!

    In my Thar roxx diesel is the most versatile in my opinion. At the current price range and the features it offers, no other suv matches it's value for money. The 2.2 litre has enough torque to move the car without stepping on the gas in incline terrain. The fuel economy of 15km/ltr(in my case) is good considering a 2.2 tonne body on frame SUV.

    I am from North East, we have a harsh winter and monsoon with lots of rains and landslides which affect our daily lives by blocking roads, broken roads and bridges, fallen trees and narrow roads, sometimes so slippery that only 4x4 could be used on our slippery roads. For a person growing up in a situation like this, Thar Roxx suits most to our climates, Geographical disadvantages of sloppy hills and roads, and with reasonable price of vehicle like Thar Roxx and the servicing of Mahindra is one of the most accessible available and cheaper compared to costly foreign cars.!

    Thar roxx. In India there are big potholes, speed breakers and a lot of water logging. With it's off road capability and ADAS, 5 star safety rating due to ultra high tensile steel it makes perfect for indian road & traffic conditions.

    Beast Thar Roxx. It perfectly combines rugged off-road capability with modern features. It is an absolute beast on challenging terrains like rocky trails, sand dunes, and mud. 4*4 is a real king!!

    I recently bought the Thar Roxx as my first SUV, and it has truly impressed me with its off-road capability, strong road presence, and solid safety features. While the ride quality and seating comfort could be better, the styling and handling more than make up for it. It�s not perfect, but it�s a car you grow to love with every drive.

    The engine has good pull, suspension feels tough, and it handles bad patches without worry. Inside, the cabin has become more modern Now, with features that make daily driving easier. Steering feels better than older Thar models, and the driving position gives a nice tall view of the road.

    Without a doubt the Mahindra Thar Roxx is the best car. I've driven sedans and hatchbacks before, but the Thar brings a completely different energy. The day I picked it up, I took it straight from the dealership to a muddy trail near my hometown nothing crazy, but enough to make me grin like a kid. What I love about the Thar is that it's not just a vehicle, it's an experience. It's raw, mechanical, and honest. The Roxx edition adds to the vibe with its factory styling and rugged appeal. I know it has limitations boot space, comfort, etc. but I didn't buy it to be practical. I bought it for the feel.

    At present i like Thar roxx due to its rugged look and off road capability.The road presence of Roxx is also something i value a lot. The 2.2 L mhawk engine is also one of the reason i love this car , where it will perform good in city, highways and off road

    For me, it has to be the Mahindra Thar Roxx. It’s not just a car, it’s an emotion. I love it because it stands out from the crowd & rugged, bold, and ready for any adventure. Whether it’s city drives or off-roading trips, the Thar feels like a car that’s made for India’s roads and beyond. I also respect how an Indian brand like Mahindra has improved it so much over the years, offering modern features, safety, and comfort without losing its raw, go-anywhere spirit. It’s a lifestyle car, not just a means of transport.

    Mahindra Thar Roxx is tough, practical and works well both as a daily driver and a weekend escape vehicle. That balance of usability and character is what makes it my top pick.

    I�ve been driving the Thar Roxx for a while now and honestly, this SUV feels like a proper upgrade to the Thar we all knew. It�s bigger, more spacious and definitely more comfortable. The first thing people notice when they sit inside is the space. Rear seat comfort is way better than the old Thar, which used to be tight for long journeys. Now my family doesn�t complain during road trips.

    its blend of off-road capability and family-friendly features, with a comfortable ride for its class, good performance, and a stylish, rugged design ..are worth it ..Interior feels so large plus comfort is at peak. I like the shape and body of the vehicle but the tyres could be styled more eith the body and features feels like lacking new ones otherwise a good choice at a great price.

    Mahindra Thar roxx is my favourite as it gives me the 4x4 facility in affordable price. It is also not too huge nor too small when compared with other 4x4 available vehicles in Indian Market. Ist Ground clearance, approach and departure angles, wheel base ratio and rear wheel drive with body on frame makes it a complete SUV. I also admit that there are still some glitches which I am trying to cope up with.
