Thar Roxx Real-World Mileage
| Engine | ARAI Mileage | City (Real) | Highway (Real) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L Petrol MT | 12.4 kmpl | 8 – 10 kmpl | 12 – 14 kmpl |
| 2.0L Petrol AT | 12.4 kmpl | 7 – 9 kmpl | 11 – 13 kmpl |
| 2.2L Diesel MT | 15.2 kmpl | 11 – 13 kmpl | 15 – 18 kmpl |
| 2.2L Diesel AT (RWD) | 14.0 kmpl | 10 – 12 kmpl | 14 – 17 kmpl |
| 2.2L Diesel AT (4WD) | 13.0 kmpl | 9 – 11 kmpl | 13 – 15 kmpl |
The diesel is clearly the better choice for most buyers — 3-4 kmpl better than petrol in real-world conditions. Given that diesel is also ₹15-20/litre cheaper than petrol in most states, the diesel variant will save you ₹3,000-5,000/month in fuel costs if you drive 1,000+ km/month.
Thar Roxx vs Competition
| SUV | Price Range | Engine | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mahindra Thar Roxx | ₹12.39 – 23.53L | 2.0P / 2.2D | Off-road king, 5-door, iconic design |
| Mahindra XUV700 | ₹14.00 – 27.00L | 2.0P / 2.2D | Better mileage, more refined, 7 seats |
| Force Gurkha 5-Door | ₹18.00 – 20.00L | 2.6L Diesel | Hardcore off-road, ladder frame |
| Maruti Jimny | ₹12.74 – 15.05L | 1.5L Petrol | Compact, light, nimble off-road |
| Kia Seltos | ₹11.00 – 20.00L | 1.5P / 1.5D / 1.5T | Urban comfort, features, mileage |
| Hyundai Creta | ₹11.00 – 20.00L | 1.5P / 1.5D / 1.5T | Comfort, refinement, city driving |
The Thar Roxx doesn't have a direct competitor — it's the only 5-door body-on-frame off-road SUV with lifestyle appeal at this price. The XUV700 is more practical and refined but lacks the Thar's off-road capability and head-turning design. Jimny is fun but tiny and underpowered. Creta/Seltos are great city SUVs but can't go off-road.

Final Verdict
The Mahindra Thar Roxx is one of the most significant car launches India has seen — it takes a cult off-roader and transforms it into a genuinely practical, safe, and feature-rich daily driver without losing an ounce of the Thar's soul. The 5-door format, proper rear seat space, 6 airbags, Level 2 ADAS, and a cabin that feels like a ₹30L SUV — all starting at ₹12.39 lakh ex-showroom — makes it phenomenal value.
Our recommendations:
- Budget pick: MX3 Diesel MT (₹14.50L) — adds essentials like touchscreen, alloys, reverse camera to the base
- Best value: AX5L Diesel AT RWD (₹18.50L) — sunroof, ventilated seats, 6 airbags, 174 BHP AT
- Loaded: AX7L Diesel AT RWD (₹21.49L) — everything including ADAS and Harman Kardon
- Off-road beast: AX7L 4WD Diesel AT (₹23.53L) — if you actually go off-road regularly
Skip the petrol unless you specifically avoid diesel. The diesel is more powerful (174 BHP AT vs 160 BHP), more fuel efficient (3-4 kmpl better), and cheaper to run long-term. And skip the 4WD unless you genuinely need it — RWD handles 95% of Indian road conditions perfectly fine.
