Mahindra Thar Roxx Updates: New Light Grey Interiors Replace White
Why Mahindra Replaced Ivory White Interiors?
When Mahindra launched the Thar Roxx on August 15, 2024, it was praised for introducing a premium, tech-laden cabin, setting a new benchmark for lifestyle off-roaders in India. However, the Ivory White interior theme offered with both 4X2 and 4X4 variants faced criticism from customers and off-road enthusiasts.
While the white interiors added a touch of luxury, they proved difficult to maintain, especially in India’s dusty and muddy off-road conditions. Recognizing this issue, Mahindra first introduced a Mocha Brown interior option for the 4X4 variants in October 2024. Now, the company has phased out the Ivory White interiors entirely, replacing them with the new Light Grey theme, which is expected to be more durable and easier to maintain.
What’s New with the Light Grey Interiors?
The new Light Grey interior theme blends a darker, more practical tone with a modern and refined finish. This update enhances the Thar Roxx’s rugged character while retaining the premium feel. Key highlights of the updated interior include:
✅ Dual-tone dashboard and door trims with darker accents
✅ Refreshed upholstery with contrast stitching for a modern look
✅ Easier maintenance and improved durability for off-road conditions
Though official visuals of the Light Grey interiors haven’t been revealed yet, early units arriving at dealerships suggest that the updated interior maintains the plushness of the Thar Roxx while addressing the impracticality of the white variant.
No Changes in Features or Powertrain
The interior update does not affect the mechanicals or feature list of the Thar Roxx. The SUV continues to offer a wide range of premium features, including:
- 📱 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- 🎧 Harman Kardon audio system for immersive sound
- 🚗 Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) for enhanced safety
- ❄️ Auto climate control for superior comfort
- 🌞 Panoramic sunroof for an airy and spacious feel
- 🪑 Ventilated front seats for added convenience
Engine and Transmission Options Remain Unchanged
The Thar Roxx retains its powerful engine options, offering both petrol and diesel choices:
- 🛢️ 2.0L turbo-petrol engine delivering 177 PS and 380 Nm of torque
- 🛢️ 2.2L turbo-diesel engine producing 175 PS and 370 Nm of torque
Both engines are paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic gearbox, while the 4X4 drivetrain option remains exclusive to diesel variants.
Enhanced Practicality and Comfort
With the introduction of Light Grey interiors, Mahindra aims to provide a more practical yet premium cabin experience for off-road enthusiasts and city buyers alike. Along with the new interior theme, Mahindra has recently introduced a few additional features in the Thar Roxx, such as:
🔑 Keyless entry with request sensors
🪑 Sliding function for the co-driver armrest
🌀 Aerodynamic flat wipers to reduce wind noise
These updates further enhance the comfort and functionality of the SUV without any increase in pricing.
Thar Roxx Variants and Pricing
The Mahindra Thar Roxx is available in six variants, with prices starting from Rs 12.99 lakh and going up to Rs 23.09 lakh (ex-showroom). Buyers can choose between 2WD and 4WD configurations, making the Thar Roxx versatile for both urban commutes and off-road adventures.
A Practical Step Forward
The decision to replace the Ivory White interiors with the new Light Grey theme reflects Mahindra’s commitment to responding to customer feedback. The updated interior not only enhances practicality but also aligns with the Thar Roxx’s adventurous persona. With deliveries set to begin soon, the Light Grey interior Thar Roxx is expected to attract even more enthusiasts who seek a balance of luxury, durability, and off-road prowess.
