It also has a dual-tone paint shade for most variants – with a contrast black roof – that will give it a hardtop look with flexible roof. The reprofiled tail-lamps with C-shaped LEDs,and a tailgate design look striking.
Feature rich interior and tech
The Roxx gets the same dashboard as the 3-door Thar, but there are elements like soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door pads, available in the higher variants. The dual-tone theme with beige seats and a dark brown dashboard with some contrast bits make it look attractive in every sense. There are dual 10.25-inch screens for infotainment and instrumentation on top trims to add a sense of style statement.
Those higher variants will get a cooled glovebox with cooledseats for the front row, ambient and footwell lighting. Some key features that were missing in the 3 door Thar like a wireless charging pad, automatic climate control, power windows on all doors, a sliding front armrest, a cooled glove box and remote fuel opening setup has been provided in the 5 door Thar.
The Thar Roxx with the kind of road presence it has is surely going to be a head-turner.
