What the MX5 Diesel AWD MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the MX5 Diesel AWD MT comes to ₹20,69,908 on the road in Itanagar and ₹23,59,683 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,89,775 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 ₹19.42L ex-showroom Delhi this is the 12th of 18 Thar Roxx variants by price, ₹14,000 above the AX5L Diesel RWD AT. The same MX5 kit starts at ₹2.90L less as the MX5 Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest AX5L actually costs ₹14,000 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 AX5L is not sold with the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, so the move changes the powertrain too.
More about the MX5 trim
The comfort track: sunroof, leatherette, alloys and TPMS, and the cheapest way into the 4WD hardware. No ADAS here.
Mahindra Thar Roxx MX5: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX5 Diesel AWD MT?
- ₹19.42L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 12th of 18 by price, ₹14,000 above the AX5L Diesel RWD AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX5 Diesel AWD MT?
- Expect ₹20,69,908 in Itanagar and ₹23,59,683 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,89,775 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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 MX5 Diesel AWD MT have?
- The Diesel, 152 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 15.2 km/l.
- What features does the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX5 Diesel AWD MT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Tyre pressure monitor, Sunroof (Single-pane), Front parking sensors, Auto headlamps, Rain-sensing wipers and Rear parking camera.
- What does the Mahindra Thar Roxx MX5 Diesel AWD MT miss out on?
- The AX5L 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 ₹14,000 less. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the AX5L is not sold with this one.
- Is the MX5 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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
