Inside the cabin, the Mahindra Thar Roxx AX3L offers a comprehensively equipped interior with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and wireless phone charging. More convenience comes in the form of push-button start/stop, an auto-dimming interior rear view mirror, and cruise control. The trim is also packed with ten Level 2 ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking that further increase the security aspect and make driving quite convenient.

Other features of the AX3L variant include steering-mounted controls, rear AC vents for passenger comfort, and a semi-digital instrument cluster that combines analog dials with a digital multi-information display or MID. The SUV gets automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control, and an electric parking brake with an Auto Hold function.

Mahindra Thar Roxx AX3L: Engine options

The Mahindra Thar Roxx AX3L comes fitted with a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine churning out 173 bhp of peak power and 370 Nm of torque. Only 6-speed manual transmission is available for this variant, and it sends power only to the rear wheels since the AX3L misses the 4WD option.

The Thar Roxx AX3L is a capable yet simple off-roader with a price tag of 16.99 lakh, ex-showroom. With this variant, one gets the ideal combination of rugged performance and some form of affordability-just right for those who appreciate a powerful engine and rear-wheel drive dynamics sans the complexity of 4WD.
