Mahindra Thar Roxx has been put through road testing since 2022. On August 15, devotees will finally get to see the complete revelation after a lengthy wait. Teasers have already shown that there would be a panoramic sunroof.
For enthusiasts, a panoramic sunroof using Thar Roxx can be a big lure. In the world of lifestyle off-roaders, it will be a first for its segment. From the standpoint of the buyer, a panoramic sunroof is now considered standard equipment in the SUV class. This explains why entry-level sub-4-meter SUVs can now be found with panoramic sunroofs. The first subcompact SUV with this function was the Mahindra XUV3XO. According to reports, Nexon will soon receive a panoramic sunroof as well.
About the Thar Roxx, the inclusion of a panoramic sunroof makes the SUV better suited for purposes related to families. Kids now frequently enjoy the excitement of the open sky, especially on weekends. Mahindra has made sure that the Roxx is a competitive choice for anyone considering purchasing a small or medium SUV by adding a panoramic sunroof.
The Thar Roxx has an immediate edge over competitors such as the Maruti Jimny and Force Gurkha thanks to its panoramic sunroof. Although Jimny and Gurkha are good off-road vehicles, their total range is restricted by the absence of a sunroof. In contrast to Jimny and Force Gurkha, Thar Roxx better meets the needs of single-vehicle owners, who make up the majority of automotive users in India.
With the highest-spec models, a panoramic sunroof option with Thar Roxx will be available. One-pane sunroofs are anticipated for mid-spec versions. Variants with panoramic sunroofs may cost a little more. Compared to a monocoque SUV, it is typically more difficult to include a panoramic sunroof in an SUV with a ladder frame architecture. Structural stability, the centre of mass, weight balance, intricate design, and production techniques provide challenges. As a result, development and manufacturing expenses would probably increase.
Thar Roxx will come with an extensive feature set designed with family needs in mind. A sizable portion of the equipment list will be borrowed from Scorpio N and XUV700. A sizable floating infotainment screen has been made evident by teasers. A fully digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charger, and ventilated front seats are some of the other notable features. An auto-dimming IRVM and a 360° surround vision monitor are included in the safety kit. Features for ADAS Level 2 are anticipated to be added to Thar Roxx top-spec models.
Roxx seems to be a bestseller even before launch because of its many premium features and built-in adaptability. It is anticipated that prices will begin at about Rs 15 lakh.
