AutoExec Summary
Mahindra has unveiled the Thar Roxx, a five-door version of its iconic Thar model. The two-door Thar has a rich history dating back to the Indian-assembled Willy’s Jeep in 1947 and has been in production since. The Roxx, built on a new platform called M-GLYDE, offers more SUV-like comforts while maintaining its renowned off-road capabilities. It is available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine or a 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, with rear-wheel drive and 4×4 variants. The Roxx also features modern technology, safety equipment, and a variety of trim levels. However, its entry into the Australian market may face challenges due to safety tech and legal issues. Mahindra currently offers three models in Australia and has plans for global expansion with new EV models. Despite being in a right-hand drive market, Mahindra will face tough competition from Chinese newcomers in the future.
