People need to understand that we Indians love jeep because of mahindra and not because of jeep itself mahindra has done so many things in last 7 decades and because of those changes and evolutions the jeep has become an integral part of indian automotive industry so jeep heritage is mahindras history as well and people should not directly say that mahindra is a copycat.
Felt this review to be more realistic than most.. will appreciate if you can also post detailed comparison between XUV 700 Petrol Automatic and Thar Roxx Petrol Automatic.
This 5D Thar has the underpinnings & steering of the Scorpio n while still looking like a Thar….❤ your reviews. You have a nice way of putting it all together, a big 👍
Honest reviews... Not like autocars channel begging for indirect subscription... please comment...please comment.... i had great respect for autocar channel.... but word to word begging for comments more than technical things in the reviews shows them cheap....
It's a 50-50 situation, once you come out of India and see globally, the jeep Wrangler is present everywhere and Mahindra followed the same exact design template of Jeep, only reason Mahindra is good in business is because of their pricing, Jeep are way more expensive because of the technology & off road readiness
@zigwheels I skipped all thar 5d reviews/videos because 1. Mahindra made it more domesticated and more family thar than keep it still raw, specially the eps on offroader. 2. Most review are same format which was already seen enough when 3 door was launched This video has a sense of peace no loud music, no fast pace talking.not sure the lens used here, it feels like someone with me and explaining ne very gently even the moving shots and angle are new.. please continue this format..it has international appeal 👍
Highly confused between Thar Roxx 4x4 and XUV 7OO AWD. If we need hardcore 4x4, we need to trade off comfort (seat comfort are average) and cubby holes. But, if we trade off hardcore 4x4 (and auto-dimming IRVM), we get more comfort, proven car (as it has been in market for 3 years now), lots of cubby holes and more space. Also, there is a possibility that XUV 7OO will be dated in a year time as and when facelift comes. Which will be your pick? We’ll use the car for interstate driving and off the road tracks (not off-roading), if we have a 4x4 we might just love to venture into unexplored territory. Also, does XUV 7OO have better NVH when compared to Roxx?
Mahindra is smart by giving this car a white interior. They want hardcore off-roaders to go with the 3 door. This is for the buyer who wants a thar but a more practical one with occasional recreational light off-roading.
Please give us the road test of the petrol and the diesel versions of the thar roxx. What average do they give? What is the service schedule? How much will it cost per service? After how many km does one have to change the engine oil?
Every offroader drivers loves THAR more than any other Vehicles. So Indian wrangler is known as THAR ROXX 4×4 ❤🎉🎊🎉 No other vehicle can compare with its present features and new looks with offroad capabilities... now a family can enjoy and experience on road and offroad without any doubts along Mahindra THAR😊😄😍
@@manjunathn2306 ok. I have Creta, its radar is not that much hidden, and it works great. Not sure of Thar. ADAS is a highway thing only. Plus not sure Thar gets rear radar or not
Excellent review with real truth... Me too same built and height like you. Thanks for letting us know that this car doesnt suite for big heavy built people... Love you bro... Please tell us atleast 2 SUV for the heavy built people with good space. Awaiting you reply.
As a person who is planning to buy an suv and explore all car options...this review is very detailed and helpful ... But as a person who is 6.2 ft..i just have a concern for my leg space (specially in the rear seat).. P.S: I currently have test driven skoda Kushaq and taigun GT (both 1.5L)
Best have a look once it’s in showrooms. Considering Ameya at 6ft had space to spare behind himself, you should be ok but depends on how much space you prefer individually of course
Should I buy the petrol or diesel Thar ROXX AT? I drive average 10k-12k kms per year. I own 2 other petrol cars. I mostly drive in Bangalore city. Occasional highway drives. Will there be DPF issues if I keep the Thar ideal or use less? What do you suggest?
Hello Nice review and appreciate the effort ! I had a quick question for you and I would appreciate a response. I had a quick test drive, liked the vehicle and ended up booking Thar ROXX with Mocha interiors. I found it to be a good mix of lifestyle choice and almost a family car. But, I am still not quite sure about that decision and may cancel the same in coming weeks. Delivery timeline will also affect my decision. My primary usage will be in city with around 30kms a day and around 3000kms a year in long trips passing through ghat sections and a bit of bad roads. Bad roads are also in plenty in and around the area where I reside and hence a rugged vehicle helps. I found quite a few ergonomic issues such as the bottle holder space which makes me thinking. In particular, I found the front seat quite uncomfortable. It had less under thigh support. And both legs were hitting on something. On left side, it is on some projection from the dashboard and on right side the control panel on the door. I didn't find this getting mentioned in many reviews except in yours. Absence of telescopic steering blocks resolution of that problem by moving the seat back. Do you still think this is a problem that we can live with?
Mahindra ne mostly apne jeep models designs Jeep brand ki gaadio se hi copy kiye hain. Force ne bhi copy kiya hai, Force ka apna engine bhi nahi hai. Par, Mahindra ne Engine apne hi use kiye hain, ye good hai mahindra k liye.
R O Xx : Recreation Open Xperience! That’s what the name stands for. Came here after seeing Toyota Landcruiser ROX concept. To all those auto journos who made fun of Mahindra’s naming! 😅
Mahindra didn't want to get into trouble with jeep wrangler so they have given a six pack grill . Mahindra knows that those who buy the roxx will automatically change the grill, with this change he is not getting into trouble Smart guy
Leg room for the back seat is horrible. The backseat could have gone back by two to three inches and boot space a slight lesser. Otherwise those sitting behind will have a terrible experience while travelling.
1 - Interior should be dark in colour Because Thar isn't known for its comfort or luxury it's known for rugged looks. It's missing.... 2 - we expected much comfort in back seat & want more boot space . It's spacious than before but still not desirable changes 3 - Now it's looking like a jimny with wide tyres.... 4 - Side profile 👎 Same thing happened in scorpio also. But Scorpio have 2 variants . Classic Scorpio is a real Scorpio & Scorpio N is like a more family friendly Normal luxury suv..... Scorpio have still it's identity of Bhaukal But Thar.....
Apart from Renault Duster, no other car (so called urban SUVs) have the ride quality which is just perfect everywhere, be it in the city or on the highway or on broker / no roads!
Dont compare Roxx with SCORPIO N. ROXX is an upgrade to Thar. SCORPIO N is Mahindra's Pinnacle product. It is one level up means It is better than Thar roxx Whether it is the power, Space or ride quality. SCORPIO N is far better product
Will you do a proper honest comprehensive shoot out between the Thar Roxx and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Wrangler Rubicon? I think we, the general buying public, deserve to have a confirmation from an honest auto journalist, if the Roxx will deliver as much as the Jeep does or not. Of course, the Great Lords at Stellantis may need to swallow some bitter pills, if, as I surmise, the Thar Roxx will indeed deliver 85-90% of what the Jeep delivers, but at only 30% of the price. However, I would consider that as simple Collateral Damage and Stellantis can “take it on the chin”.
Defect in Thar Roxx: Jeep Wrangler has less tyre size than Thar Roxx , even then its chassis is higher than Thar Roxx. Thar Roxx is being made to look its chassis higher by increasing ita tyre size, which is very bad design.
While what you said about the ride should be true, the message was not clearly communicated to a non car guy that this is due to the body on frame construction and its inherent nature. Especially when comparing it to the Vitara and Creta.
I think so, its value for money becz creta and seltos will not give what thar roxx can give and the price pointh 4x4 automatic disel is available you can't compare to Xuv700.
Front roxx Side a Foxx.. Nothing more to say. Also we cant resist the thought of Model T seeing the side profile...seems pratap bose designed this with some booze..
Iam disappointed honestly.... you people do your HONEST job... people will react accordingly.... please do not push for subscription.... it will automatically happen if you are honest in your job...
Very strategical move by M&M this is for wannabe Jeep-form-factor lovers who are either going to use it bone stock for mall crawling or for those who will put a ton of customizations to make this look like a Wrangler in disguise ( Karol bag is going to get quite busy ) or for people who dont mind a bit more but not too much ruggedness . But folks who are actually planning to take this off the tarmac will still prefer the 3 door but they will keep wishing the interiors were better.
White interior is not practical within 1 month it will become dirty... No matter how much cleaning we do... Same in xuv 700 white became brown colour became dirty.... They should have given black interior seats options...

Oh He's 6'5, I was thinking why is this Thar looking so short🤣
🤣
Imagine him standing with a jimny 😂
@@Svy-lu4kl Well now you have mentioned that I really want him to do one of the smallest car review like maybe MG Comet or Alto?
His height really helps in finding out space
He's a blessing for us tall folk living in India :)
As hype starts settling down, this will be one of the Most sensible reviews of them all.
🙏 thank you!
Finally got the best review from the best person on Zigwheel... Big Fan of you Big Man.... ❤❤❤❤
it’s like… me standing beside a hatchback compared to you standing beside Roxx 😆
good review by the way
Lol, thanks!
How does the Thar Roxx compare to the OG Scorpio in ride & handling?
Bro is making the Roxx look small! 😮
😅😅
Carol Bagh ahead of the curve no mater what! What a line! 😂

Your videos shd get way more views man!! Very comprehensive!! Pls keep it up!

one another gud thing they cancelled the funky modified mahindra logo and replaced with classical Mahindra fonts.

That weird styling of the extension from C to D pillar should be deal breaker for the most 🤢
It looks like designer wanted to give dropdown softtop look.
Yeah it looks stupid and lazy designing
Even i dint like that at all but not a deal breaker. If i had that much money to buy Thar 5 door, i would fix it with black wrap or something.
Nice review. Does the ADAS radar work well despite fitting the number plate on the bumper. what happens if number plate starts shaking in future
Also it has only 10 ADAS features, even Creta has 19 features
I'm not here to compare. I genuinely want to know if this is an issue or not. I want to buy this machine.
@@manjunathn2306 ok. I have Creta, its radar is not that much hidden, and it works great. Not sure of Thar. ADAS is a highway thing only. Plus not sure Thar gets rear radar or not
Since 2020, Twin peak guys are selling half cooked jumping Thar..
Finally the sorted *ROXX*❤
Excellent review with real truth... Me too same built and height like you. Thanks for letting us know that this car doesnt suite for big heavy built people... Love you bro... Please tell us atleast 2 SUV for the heavy built people with good space. Awaiting you reply.
As a person who is planning to buy an suv and explore all car options...this review is very detailed and helpful ...
But as a person who is 6.2 ft..i just have a concern for my leg space (specially in the rear seat)..
P.S: I currently have test driven skoda Kushaq and taigun GT (both 1.5L)
Best have a look once it’s in showrooms. Considering Ameya at 6ft had space to spare behind himself, you should be ok but depends on how much space you prefer individually of course

Go for diesel petrol milage is a nightmare averaging 6
what a handsome SUV, love to have it here in Malaysia
Which one has better ride quality in your opinion, ? Thar Roxx or scorpio N?
excellent review as usual. TOP NOTCH.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro which 4 wheeler is comfy for u
I was wondering too.. he is 6'4 after all.
Can you rate the ride quality on a scale from 0-10 for XUV700, Scorpio-N, Thar 5D and THar 3D?
Xuv 700 = 9.5/10
SCORPIO N= 8.5/10
Thar Roxx=7/10
Thar= 6/10
Yes. The 700 being a monocoque all the others BOF, the Scorpio n and Roxx having similar suspension and the Thar 3D well 💪💪🫡
Would the Thar Roxx come with a Ax7 L manual transmission? Not every one wants an automatic
very nice review. I am happy that you covered how it will be for tall people and also ride quality.
Glad you liked it! 🙏
How is Mahindras service? Anyone with experience on 3 door thar or Scorpion N?
Hello Nice review and appreciate the effort !

Great Review 💥
I think they are going to offer convertible top later if there is a demand, the design makes me think that.
Does it have electric retractable orvm?
Bumper fender jiggling along with suspension. Is this normal?
Yes. For body on frame SUV's. Otherwise on bad roads the bumper would keep hitting the body panels.
Let me ask important question what is the mileage
I am sure this a sarcastic comment just to offend Maruti Fanboys! 😂
Excellent presentation... keep it up
Thanks a lot!
Why the review focus more on the aesthetics and less on the engine, body, reliability, capability , service& maintenance?
Mahindra ne mostly apne jeep models designs Jeep brand ki gaadio se hi copy kiye hain. Force ne bhi copy kiya hai, Force ka apna engine bhi nahi hai. Par, Mahindra ne Engine apne hi use kiye hain, ye good hai mahindra k liye.
Finally this review was most awaited then the launch itself
Ride quality of Roxx is much better than that of Thar 3-Door, how about ride quality compared against Fortuner ?
which road you travelling at 5:58?
Is it comfortable enough like a i20?
How would you compare the ride quality with Jimny?
Jimny’s better hands down. Far more supple suspension and doesn’t get unsettled as easily
Awesome design from Mahindra !
This guy makes thar roxx look small.. he is just gigantic...!!

Good review
Thar Roxx Ground clearance: 226mm 🤔 it's correct.
15:32 The thigh support is just plain terrible. Why do these people have to cut on such important things???
Leg room for the back seat is horrible. The backseat could have gone back by two to three inches and boot space a slight lesser. Otherwise those sitting behind will have a terrible experience while travelling.
The primary thing for a buyer in this price range is road presence. Thar, roxx, 700 & scorpio n are way ahead than their competitors.
Biker video bombing OP 😂❤
1 - Interior should be dark in colour
Because Thar isn't known for its comfort or luxury it's known for rugged looks.
It's missing....
2 - we expected much comfort in back seat & want more boot space . It's spacious than before but still not desirable changes
3 - Now it's looking like a jimny with wide tyres....
4 - Side profile 👎
Same thing happened in scorpio also. But Scorpio have 2 variants . Classic Scorpio is a real Scorpio & Scorpio N is like a more family friendly Normal luxury suv..... Scorpio have still it's identity of Bhaukal
But Thar.....
Petrol 4x4 manual nahi aaegi kya?? 😢
Filhal tho nahi
Apart from Renault Duster, no other car (so called urban SUVs) have the ride quality which is just perfect everywhere, be it in the city or on the highway or on broker / no roads!
Why reviewers don't quote the price of the model they are reviewing in video?
U guyz quote based price and review topmost features?
Hows ride quality and NVH compared to Scorpio N at highway speeds.
Dont compare Roxx with SCORPIO N.
ROXX is an upgrade to Thar.
SCORPIO N is Mahindra's Pinnacle product.
It is one level up means
It is better than Thar roxx
Whether it is the power, Space or ride quality.
SCORPIO N is far better product
Bro is dwarfing the beast here .
from the prespective of side look, the slope of the roof down towards front is not good looking
Vfm model?
I am 180 cms, heavy built and Roxx felt cramped for me as well
Armada means fleet of warships..... Now imagine if it was named Thar Armada
Will you do a proper honest comprehensive shoot out between the Thar Roxx and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Wrangler Rubicon? I think we, the general buying public, deserve to have a confirmation from an honest auto journalist, if the Roxx will deliver as much as the Jeep does or not.
Of course, the Great Lords at Stellantis may need to swallow some bitter pills, if, as I surmise, the Thar Roxx will indeed deliver 85-90% of what the Jeep delivers, but at only 30% of the price.
However, I would consider that as simple Collateral Damage and Stellantis can “take it on the chin”.
I have the same height as you...is the space good for you?
At 200cm, no I wasn’t comfortable in the driver’s seat. Steering fouls with the knees. Reach adjustment would’ve made a BIG difference
Assignment: Copy the jeep wrangler and remove 1 slot to make it a 6 slot grill.
Full white colour top and fender should be wrapped then it looks 💯
Sir while saying about enfortainment u told Tata
Yes, in comparison Tata’s new infotainment screens are better to use
What’s your height, Bro? First time, I’m seeing a smaller version of Thar Roxx ❤
6.5ft 🙂
looks like little step brother of the actual JEEP :)
at ruclips.net/video/PaGzRwi3b80/видео.html is that a gap or door not closed properly on right of ameya
Even the mightiest Thar Roxx looks tiny beside Tushar.
Defect in Thar Roxx:
Jeep Wrangler has less tyre size than Thar Roxx , even then its chassis is higher than Thar Roxx.

Waiting for a non-white interior...
Thanks bro..
for sure..
"TRUE SUV FOR EVERYONE"
I think so, its value for money becz creta and seltos will not give what thar roxx can give and the price pointh 4x4 automatic disel is available you can't compare to Xuv700.
Front roxx
Side a Foxx..
Nothing more to say.
Also we cant resist the thought of Model T seeing the side profile...seems pratap bose designed this with some booze..
why the car is small, when you are standing beside 🤨
Such a beautiful car and complete package. Only ruined by offering white interior and tacky and childish name Roxx.
13:47 Oh My God the Head Rest is on your Shoulder .. looking like you are sitting in Baby's Car.. What's your physical height if you don't mind.
6.5ft 😁
Iam disappointed honestly.... you people do your HONEST job... people will react accordingly.... please do not push for subscription.... it will automatically happen if you are honest in your job...
Stop calling yourself fat rather than a man with a good build.
Good reveiw
Thank you!🙏
When he stands next to the Thar, Thar looks like Jimny😂
I'm still ok with my bolero in this narow and bad roads of mizoram because easy to repair and maintenance
Armada was a flop entry level product from mahindra no wonder thy didn't keep that name
Very strategical move by M&M this is for wannabe Jeep-form-factor lovers who are either going to use it bone stock for mall crawling or for those who will put a ton of customizations to make this look like a Wrangler in disguise ( Karol bag is going to get quite busy ) or for people who dont mind a bit more but not too much ruggedness . But folks who are actually planning to take this off the tarmac will still prefer the 3 door but they will keep wishing the interiors were better.
Two step back door is soo... needless and scary.
I want to see this guy in alto800
You can find him in a Datsun redi go if you look enough
White interior is not practical within 1 month it will become dirty... No matter how much cleaning we do... Same in xuv 700 white became brown colour became dirty.... They should have given black interior seats options...
