After a long wait, the Mahindra Thar Roxx went on sale in August 2024, with prices starting at Rs 12.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom, pan-India). It comes in six broad variants: MX1, MX3, MX5, AX3L, AX5L, and AX7L. We have now got hold of some real-life images of the lower-spec MX3, which we have detailed in 10 images:
Front
The MX3 variant comes with LED projector headlights and LED turn indicators on the front fender. It lacks LED daytime running lights (DRLs) and fog lamps but features a silver treatment on the front bumper.
Side
The Thar Roxx MX3 is fitted with 18-inch black steel wheels without covers. Turn indicators are mounted on the front wheel arches, which have thick black cladding. It also gets a sidestep on both sides to help for easier ingress/egress. The ORVMs, front door handles, and roof are all finished in black, which further enhances its rugged look.
Rear
The Thar Roxx MX3 has C-shaped LED tail lights, with the spare wheel (the same size as the regular steel wheels on this variant) mounted on the tailgate which features a cover and the rear parking camera. Mahindra has also equipped the Thar Roxx MX3 with both a rear wiper and washer, along with a rear defogger. The rear bumper has a silver treatment similar to the front bumper.
