Size Compared: Here’s How Big The 5-door Mahindra Thar Roxx Is Compared To The 3-Door Model

Mahindra has finally launched the 5-door Thar Roxx, with prices starting from Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards. It features certain visual differences from the Thar 3-door, but most importantly, it has increased in size with its extra set of doors and increased wheelbase. So, to determine how much larger the Thar Roxx really is, we compare the dimensions of both models in this report.

Mahindra Thar Roxx vs Thar 3-Door: Dimensions

Size-wise, the Thar Roxx is unmistakably the bigger of the two in this comparison. The 5-door model breaks the sub-4m barrier with an extra 443 mm length over the 3-door model, which also translates to a 400 mm longer wheelbase, ensuring there is no shortage of space in the second row. 

Additionally, the Thar Roxx is wider by 50 mm and taller by up to 79 mm compared to the Thar 3-door. Do note that the Thar 3-door is offered with both a fixed hardtop and a convertible soft top, which accounts for the varying height. Ofcourse, with its bigger footprint, the Thar 5-door now offers you a usable boot, with a capacity of 644-litres. The 3-door Thar’s boot space is’t available for a comparison.

Let’s take a quick look at the features and powertrain options of the new Thar Roxx:

These engines are available in different states of tune, depending on the transmission and variant option. Both powertrain options are paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
