Mahindra Thar Roxx vs Rivals: Dimensions, Specifications, and Pricing Compared

The Mahindra Thar Roxx is the latest addition to the rugged off-road SUV segment. With its two additional rear doors and an upgraded interior, it offers more practicality compared to the 3-door Thar, while still maintaining its core identity as a capable off-roader. The Thar Roxx’s primary competitor is the Force Gurkha 5-door, but it also faces challenges from the smaller Maruti Suzuki Jimny and even its own sibling, the Scorpio N, another ladder-frame 4×4 SUV.
