Tata Sierra Vs Mahindra Thar ROXX FAQs

The Tata Sierra comes with 6 nature inspired colors: Munnar Mist, Andaman Adventure, Bengal Rouge, Coorg Clouds, Pristine White, and Pure Grey. Availability depends on the variant.

Munnar Mist is a “magic” paint. It shifts from deep grey to sage green depending on sunlight. It is subtle but dramatic, like the weather in the hills.

The Sierra uses Night Saber Bi LED Booster headlamps. They are ultra slim projectors that increase light throw automatically as speed increases.

A single 1.8 meter LED strip runs across the front bonnet, giving the Sierra a strong light signature at night.

No, the Smart+ variant does not include a touchscreen or music system. This allows buyers to install an aftermarket setup of their choice.

No, the panoramic sunroof is not available in the base variant.

Superglide suspension uses FDD, Frequency Dependent Damping. It softens over small bumps in the city and becomes firm at high speed for stability on highways.

The Sierra offers a 450mm water wading depth, which is strong for this segment and better than many soft road SUVs.

Yes, even the base Smart+ variant gets all wheel disc brakes, which is rare in entry level trims.

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.
