Unlike the standard Thar which gets both petrol and diesel engine options with the four-wheel drivetrain, the Thar Roxx only offers a single engine option with the 4x4 drivetrain

After much anticipation, the Mahindra Thar Roxx has landed on our shores. Mahindra has only divulged prices for the rear-wheel drivetrain variants, but the full price list will be out very soon. There are multiple powertrain and drivetrain options available, which can confuse anyone (including us) even after giving the brochure a read. 

So if you were one of the people, planning to book the Thar Roxx once order books open on October 3, then this story is for you as we list the variant-wise powertrain options available with the latest off-roader SUV. But before that, a quick look at the engine options and their respective specifications:
