What the AX5L Diesel RWD AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the AX5L Diesel RWD AT comes to ₹20,68,858 on the road in Itanagar and ₹23,58,485 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,89,627 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹19.41L ex-showroom this is the 13th of 21 Thar Roxx variants by price, ₹43,000 above the Star Edition Turbo Petrol AT. It is also the cheapest of the 2 ways into AX5L: the same features as the AX5L Diesel AWD AT for ₹2.26L less. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest Star Edition actually costs ₹1.44L less than this variant and buys 360° camera and blind spot monitor among 8 additions, though it gives up level 2 (core suite) ADAS. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, the Star Edition starts at ₹19.48L.

Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L Diesel RWD AT?
- ₹19.41L, ex-showroom. That makes it 13th of 21 by price, ₹43,000 above the Star Edition Turbo Petrol AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L Diesel RWD AT?
- Expect ₹20,68,858 in Itanagar and ₹23,58,485 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,89,627 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L Diesel RWD AT have?
- The Diesel, 152 PS, with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. The maker's figure for it is 15.2 km/l.
- What features does the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L Diesel RWD AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: ADAS (Level 2 (core suite)), Connected car tech, Auto climate (single zone), Tyre pressure monitor, Sunroof (Single-pane) and Driver display (10.25" digital).
- What does the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX5L Diesel RWD AT miss out on?
- The Star Edition above it adds 360° camera, blind spot monitor, wheel size (19" against 18"), speakers (9 against 6) and 4 more, for ₹1.44L less. That is the cheapest way into the Star Edition though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹7,000 more. It would also cost you level 2 (core suite) ADAS, so it is not purely a step up.
- Is the AX5L the right Thar Roxx to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Mahindra Thar Roxx which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
