Mahindra Thar OG Update Still Trails Thar Roxx Features
Mahindra has improved the three-door Thar OG with several mechanical and equipment updates.
However, the larger Thar Roxx still has more comfort and technology features.
The Thar OG does not offer driver-assistance features such as automatic emergency braking.
It also lacks the Roxx’s 360-degree camera and fully digital driver display.
The Thar OG uses manual air conditioning, while the Roxx offers automatic climate control.
The Roxx also has power-adjustable and ventilated front seats on higher variants.
Other Roxx features include a premium audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and a sunroof.
The Thar OG is better equipped than before, but the Roxx remains more convenient for daily use.
The updated three-door Mahindra Thar OG receives a new platform, revised suspension and additional features.
Unlike higher-spec Thar Roxx variants, the Thar OG has no ADAS functionality or 360-degree camera.
The Thar OG uses an analogue-style instrument cluster, while the Thar Roxx offers a configurable digital display.
The Thar OG retains manual air conditioning and manually adjustable seats without seat ventilation.
The Thar Roxx also adds premium equipment including a branded audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and a sunroof.
