What the MX3 Diesel AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the MX3 Diesel AT comes to ₹19,01,908 on the road in Itanagar and ₹21,67,891 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,65,983 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 ₹17.82L ex-showroom this is the eighth of 21 Thar Roxx variants by price, ₹54,000 above the AX3L Diesel MT. The same MX3 features start at ₹2.54L less as the MX3 Turbo Petrol AT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest AX3L actually costs ₹54,000 less than this variant and buys level 2 (core suite) ADAS and driver display (10.25" digital against Semi-digital) among 4 additions. Worth knowing that the AX3L is not sold with the Diesel with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 Diesel AT?
- ₹17.82L, ex-showroom. That makes it 8th of 21 by price, ₹54,000 above the AX3L Diesel MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 Diesel AT?
- Expect ₹19,01,908 in Itanagar and ₹21,67,891 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,65,983 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 MX3 Diesel 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 MX3 Diesel AT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Rear parking camera, Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Cruise control, Drive modes, Terrain modes and Wireless phone charger.
- What does the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX3 Diesel AT miss out on?
- The AX3L above it adds level 2 (core suite) ADAS, driver display (10.25" digital against Semi-digital), connected car tech and auto climate (single zone), for ₹54,000 less. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the AX3L is not sold with this one.
- Is the MX3 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.
