The Mahindra Thar 5-Door will go by the name Thar ‘Roxx’ in the Indian market; Launch confirmed for August 15.
Mahindra & Mahindra is all set to launch the Thar 5-Door in the Indian market. Ahead of its official unveiling on August 15, the Indian SUV maker revealed its upcoming SUV’s name. The Thar 5-Door will be dubbed the Thar ‘Roxx’, which differs from the anticipated Thar ‘Armada’. The Thar Roxx does sound modern, however, scores low in terms of its connection with the “Thar’ moniker which stands for a legacy of off-road prowess, ruggedness and a history of evolution. In this regard, OPAV Autos believes that the Thar ‘Armada’ would have been a better choice.
