Inside, the Star Edition rocks an all-black look. The black leatherette upholstery has suede accents. Since it is based on the top-spec AX7L trim, the special edition is decked with premium features like twin 10.25-inch displays for the touchscreen infotainment system and digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 9-speaker audio system by Harmon Kardon, approach unlock and walk-away lock, a surround view camera, a panoramic sunroof, front ventilated seats, sliding armrest, 60:40 split rear seats with multipoint recline, automatic temperature control, and more.

On the safety front, the Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition packs 6 airbags (driver, passenger, side, and curtain), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), parking sensors (front and rear), rear parking camera, auto-dimming IRVM, impact sensing auto door unlock, immobiliser, e-call & SOS, and more.

The Star Edition comes in petrol and diesel engine options. The 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine produces a maximum power output of 174hp and 380Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the 2.2-litre diesel engine puts out 172hp and 370Nm. These engines can be mated to a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. However, the Star Edition does not get a manual transmission for the turbo-petrol engine.

Final Thoughts

Prices for the standard Mahindra Thar Roxx start at Rs 12.39 lakh and go up to Rs 22.25 lakh. The lifestyle SUV could be refreshed with a 1.5-litre diesel powertrain soon. It rivals the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and Jeep Gurkha in India.
