Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L Variant Design

Up front, the AX5L, like the other variants of the Thar Roxx, presents a muscular look enhanced by its 6-slat grille. Below it, you can spot the grey-finished rugged bumper.

The Thar Roxx AX5L variant comes with an all-LED lighting setup, including C-shaped LED DRLs, LED headlights, and LED fog lamps. Mahindra has given it front fender-mounted LED turn indicators.

With the Thar Roxx, you get side footsteps as standard across all variants, making ingress and egress much easier. Other highlights of its profile include the ‘Thar Roxx’ branding on the right front fender and the ‘Thar’ moniker on the ORVMs.

The AX5L variant gets 18-inch alloy wheels, which sport a different design than those offered on the fully loaded AX7L variant.

It also gets LED tail lights with C-shaped internal lighting elements, a rear wiper and washer, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel with a wheel cover. In the centre of this wheel cover is the SUV’s rear camera. Its bumper features a silver skid plate and rear parking sensors.
