Mahindra has just released an official teaser that has got everyone talking about the Thar Roxx. The Indian car maker seems ready to launch something new for its popular five-door off-roader very soon. While the company hasnโt revealed everything yet, the short clip gives enough clues to make some solid guesses about what this update could bring.
Clear Signs Itโs the Five-Door Thar Roxx
The side profile shown in the teaser clearly belongs to the longer, five-door Thar Roxx and not the shorter three-door version. In the past year, spy shots of a mildly updated three-door Thar have appeared several times on Indian roads. But this official teaser puts those rumours to rest โ the focus is definitely on the bigger Thar Roxx.
Likely a Styling Refresh or Special Edition
Most signs point towards a light cosmetic upgrade rather than a full model change. The teaserโs tagline โ โThe spotlight has found its starโ โ suggests Mahindra wants to put a fresh spotlight on the Thar Roxx without making major changes.
The company has had great success with dark-themed special editions across its range, and these limited-run models usually sell out fast. This new version could follow the same formula: a blacked-out exterior, darker alloy wheels, black badges, and unique styling elements that make it stand out from regular Thar Roxx models.

What to Expect Inside the Cabin
Donโt expect a completely new dashboard or layout. Any interior changes will probably be small but noticeable. New seat fabrics, different trim inserts, or special edition badges are the most likely additions. The infotainment screen, instrument cluster, and overall feature list should stay the same as the current model.
There is a small chance Mahindra might plan a slightly bigger refresh for later in 2026, which could include an updated touchscreen system or better quality materials. But based on the teaser, a quick special edition launch looks more probable.
No Big Changes Under the Hood
Powertrain options are expected to remain exactly the same. Buyers will continue to choose between the strong petrol and diesel engines already available, with manual or automatic gearbox options and rear-wheel or four-wheel drive setups.
Mahindra might finally offer the smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine (currently used only in the three-door Thar) in the five-door Roxx as well. This would give buyers a more affordable entry point into the Thar Roxx range.

Final Conclusion
Whatever Mahindra decides to call this new version a special edition, black edition, or mild facelift โ it will keep the Thar Roxxโs rugged appeal intact while adding fresh excitement. The strong demand for limited-edition Mahindra SUVs means this upcoming model is likely to attract a lot of attention as soon as it hits showrooms. Fans wonโt have to wait long to see the full reveal.
