Why there is no overall score
Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

What the Mahindra Thar Roxx trim names mean
- What do the Mahindra Thar Roxx trim names mean?
- A trim is a level of equipment, and Mahindra uses 7 names for them on the Thar Roxx: in its own order they run MX1, MX3, AX3L and 4 more. The name is not the car, though: MX5 alone covers 5 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 21 variants cost ₹12.52L to ₹23.53L, ex-showroom.
