Hyundai Alcazar Vs Mahindra Thar ROXX FAQs

The Hyundai Alcazar is priced between ₹14.99 lakh and ₹21.74 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The facelift version arrived in September 2024, but the original Alcazar was first launched in June 2021, as Hyundai’s answer to customers who loved the Creta but wanted three rows of seats.

Hyundai Alcazar measures 4.560 m in length (14.96 ft), 1.800 m in width (5.90 ft), and 1.710 m in height (5.61 ft). It is longer and slightly taller than the Hyundai Creta, which makes space for the extra third row. Boot space is 180 litres with all three rows up, enough for a couple of cabin bags, and expands massively when you fold the third row.

Hyundai Alcazar comes with a 40-litre fuel tank. Depending on the engine you pick (petrol or diesel), the real-world mileage ranges between 14 and 20 kmpl, giving you a tank range of around 560 to 700 km.

The Alcazar is built for buyers who need more than just a 5-seater SUV. If you’re a family that travels often with grandparents, kids, or extra relatives, the Alcazar makes sense. The third row isn’t business-class luxury, but for occasional use, it’s perfect. It also appeals to urban professionals who want an SUV that’s a bit more “complete” than the Creta without jumping into the much pricier Toyota Fortuner or MG Gloster category.

The Hyundai Alcazar is essentially the Creta’s bigger brother. Both share the same design DNA and features, but Alcazar is longer by about 200 mm, has a longer wheelbase, and can seat six or seven passengers. The Creta is better suited for nuclear families or city dwellers who don’t need the extra seats. The Alcazar, meanwhile, is more family-focused, practical for highway runs, and comes across as a lifestyle SUV.

With all three rows up, the Alcazar’s 180 litres of boot space can handle two cabin trolleys or one big suitcase. Fold the last row, and the space easily expands for a family’s week-long luggage. If you’re planning road trips with five people, fold the third row and enjoy SUV practicality plus massive cargo capacity.

The Creta has been a bestseller, but many buyers were cross-shopping with MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari, and Kia Carens for the extra row of seats. Hyundai introduced the Alcazar to keep customers in its family rather than lose them to rivals. It is positioned for those who want more space, a premium cabin, and extra versatility while still keeping prices far below full-size SUVs.

Thar Roxx is the 5-door, upgraded version of the Thar, launched on 15 August 2024. It’s bigger, safer, more feature-rich than the older 3-door Thar, trying to keep the off-road legend alive while being more usable daily. Bookings opened in mid-2024, variants include both RWD and 4×4.

Thar Roxx comes with two main engine choices: a 2.0-litre mStallion TGDi petrol and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel. Both engines are offered with 6-speed manual or a 6-speed AISIN torque-converter automatic. You can get RWD or 4×4 depending on variant. Petrol variant produces about 150-175 bhp / 330-380 Nm, while the diesel is similarly powerful (~171-175 bhp / 370 Nm) at higher trims.

Thar Roxx has made history: it is the first body-on-frame SUV in India to secure a perfect 5-star Bharat-NCAP safety rating. It scored 31.09 out of 32 for adult occupant protection (AOP) and 45 out of 49 for child occupant protection (COP). Standard safety gear includes six airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all passengers, seatbelt reminders, ISOFIX child anchors, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and more. Higher variants also come with Level-2 ADAS features (AEB, lane-keep/assist etc.), 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring.

Thar Roxx uses Mahindra’s new M_GLYDE platform, which is lighter, stronger, and tuned for better NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) control. It gets independent double-wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear suspension with Watt’s linkage, Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD), Hydraulic Rebound Stopper (HRS), etc. These help in rough terrain and in smoothing out irregular city roads. The body-shell is all-metal, including full hard top, using high-strength steel especially in the pillars.

1. Length: ~ 4,428 mm, width ~ 1,870 mm, height ~ 1,923 mm, wheelbase ~ 2,850 mm. 2. Fuel tank ~ 57 litres. 3. Mileage: In city ~ 12.4 km/l for petrol in congested traffic. Diesel and highway numbers not fully published in all variants yet but expect better in highway / lighter load situations. Because of its size, weight, 4×4 hardware and big tyres, real world mileage will drop if you drive rough, carry many people, use AC, etc. Don’t expect hatchback numbers.

Buy if you are into off road adventures, you want presence, space (5 doors), safety (5-star), style plus capability. If you often drive in hilly / rural / water-wade areas, or just want to enjoy weekend trips, it’s a strong pick. Skip if most of your drive is tight city traffic, parking constraints, you prefer comfort over ruggedness, high efficiency, or want a quiet, smooth cruising car (like sedans or monocoque SUVs).

The Roxx petrol delivers about 12.40 km/l, while the diesel returns up to 15.20 km/l (ARAI). At an average Indian fuel price of ₹ 102/litre, the diesel costs around ₹ 6.71/km, while the petrol costs around ₹ 8.23/km. Real city runs drop lower: ~₹ 9/km for petrol and ~₹ 8.5/km for diesel. In short, your gym subscription is cheaper than driving it daily, but hey, Roxx is about adventure not penny-pinching.

Inside the Roxx, you’ll find ventilated front seats, a dual-tone cabin with leatherette trims, twin HD displays, a 9-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a panoramic Skyroof. Add to that wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Alexa connectivity, ambient lighting, 360° camera, and a cooled glovebox. Translation: it’s no longer just mud and boots, you can now enjoy Spotify and cappuccinos while climbing mountains.
