Mahindra has rolled out a fresh new variant of its popular lifestyle SUV — the Thar Roxx Star Edition. Priced between ₹16.85 lakh and ₹18.35 lakh (ex-showroom), this special edition focuses heavily on visual enhancements while maintaining the core specs of the standard RWD Thar.
Let’s break down what makes the Star Edition stand out and why it’s creating buzz in the SUV market.
Styling
The biggest selling point of the Thar Roxx Star Edition? It’s the looks. If you’re into bold, blacked-out aesthetics, this one’s for you.
The standard dual-tone alloy wheels have been swapped out for metallic-finish black alloys, upping the aggression.
The overall body styling sticks with the same rugged look, but now you get an exclusive Stealth Black paint option—along with Tango Red and Everest White—giving buyers a few bold choices.
The black theme continues across the exterior, though Mahindra has chosen to keep certain elements like the grille, bumper, and lighting layout unchanged. However, it does get a ‘Star Edition’ badge at the rear, mirroring the Thar Roxx branding style and font.
Cabin
Inside the SUV, Mahindra keeps things consistent with the theme. The dashboard and leatherette seats come in a full black finish, adding a premium, stealthy vibe to the cabin. But it’s not fully monochrome — some beige elements remain, like the roof lining and certain door panel inserts. This contrast gives the cabin a unique dual-tone appearance.
While the layout stays similar to the original Thar, the Star Edition’s black interiors offer a refreshing alternative to the Ivory White or Mocha Brown seen on the standard variants.
Features
The Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition isn’t just about the looks—it’s also loaded with features that add both comfort and tech appeal. Here’s what you get:
- Front ventilated seats
- Panoramic sunroof
- Automatic climate control
- 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Six airbags
- Rear parking camera
- Steering-mounted controls
- Tire direction monitoring system
- TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
These additions make the Thar Roxx Star Edition feel far more premium and urban-friendly, which is perfect for city users who love an SUV look without needing off-road capabilities.
Engine
Mechanically, the Thar Roxx Star Edition is identical to the regular RWD Thar. There are no changes in engine tuning or performance.
You can pick between:
- A 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine
- A 2.2-litre diesel engine
Both engines are available with manual and automatic transmissions. However, this edition is RWD-only, keeping it more accessible and affordable than the 4×4 variants.
This focus on RWD makes sense for city buyers who want the Thar’s road presence without the extra cost and complexity of 4WD hardware.
| Engine Type | Displacement | Transmission Options | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turbo Petrol | 2.0-litre | Manual / Automatic | RWD |
| Diesel | 2.2-litre | Manual / Automatic | RWD |
Price
Here’s a quick look at the pricing for the Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition:
| Variant | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Star Edition Base | ₹16.85 lakh |
| Star Edition Top Variant | ₹18.35 lakh |
The price bump over the standard model is primarily for the cosmetic and feature upgrades, but considering what’s added, it still feels like a decent deal for lifestyle SUV enthusiasts.
Rivals
While the Thar doesn’t have a direct rival in its RWD avatar with such styling, it loosely competes with:
- Maruti Jimny (for off-road appeal)
- Force Gurkha (for hardcore 4×4 fans)
- Urban compact SUVs in the ₹15–18 lakh range (for city dwellers looking for bold looks)
However, the Thar continues to stand in a league of its own when it comes to blending rugged looks with urban practicality—especially in RWD form.
If you’re someone who wants a Thar for the looks, daily usability, and added bling, the Roxx Star Edition hits the sweet spot. It adds just enough style and features to feel unique without compromising on the DNA that makes the Thar such an icon.
