The Mahindra Thar Roxx has been launched at a starting price of Rs 12.99 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan-India). It is available in two broad variant lines: MX and AX. Both the trim lines have sub-variants which offer different engine and drivetrain configurations. Before we dive into the variant-wise powertrains, let's take a look at the powertrain specifications that are available on the 5-door Thar.

Powertrain 

The Mahindra has carried the same petrol and diesel engines (save for the 1.5-litre diesel) from the Thar 3-door, but with a higher stage of tune.

Variant-wise Powertrain 

If you are planning to buy the Thar Roxx, then here are the different powertrain and drivetrain options available for each variant. 

• The petrol engine is offered only with a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configuration. It comes with both manual and automatic transmission options.

• The petrol-manual combo is available only with the base-spec MX1 and mid-spec MX5 variants, while the petrol-automatic option can be chosen with the MX3, MX5, and the range-topping AX7L trims.

• For the diesel powertrain, Mahindra offers both 4WD and RWD configurations, with options for both manual and automatic transmissions.

• Save for the higher-spec AX5L, all other variants are available with a diesel-manual engine offered with a RWD drivetrain.

• If you are planning to buy the Thar Roxx with a diesel-automatic combination with RWD, then this option is not available in the base trims of both MX and AX variant lines (MX1 and AX3L).

• For those who want the 4WD option with their Mahindra SUV, the Thar Roxx is offered with 4WD only on the mid-spec MX5 and AX7L variants, with diesel-manual combination. For those preferring a diesel-automatic option, 4WD is available only with the higher-spec AX5L and AX7L trims only.
