Which Mahindra Thar Roxx variant should you buy?

There are 18 ways to buy a Thar Roxx, across 6 trims, from ₹12.52L to ₹23.53L ex-showroom Delhi.

Pound for pound the ladder pays best at AX7L: ₹0.24L more than AX5L, and no rung you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee.

The ladder keeps paying to the end here: AX7L is both the last step up and the one that asks least per feature.

How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

Not every rung here is a straight upgrade. One asks less than the trim below it, so it is shown in full but left out of the value ranking rather than dressed up as a step up.

Where the kit that matters lands

  • Airbags: all 6 are standard from the base MX1, so nobody has to spend up for them.
  • Safety kit: AX7L, from ₹19.52L, is the cheapest trim with every safety feature this car offers at its best. Spending past it buys comfort and cosmetics, not protection.
  • Automatic: the cheapest is the MX3 Turbo Petrol AT at ₹15.28L. See it

Then there is the engine

Picking the trim is only half of it. The Thar Roxx is sold with 3 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
