Mahindra has introduced a new Mocha Grey interior theme for its flagship lifestyle SUV, the Thar Roxx, replacing the earlier Ivory White option. The move comes after customer feedback criticized the white interiors as impractical for an off-road vehicle. This update aligns with Mahindra’s strategy of making the SUV more user-friendly and durable while maintaining a premium look.
Why Mahindra Discontinued the Ivory White Interiors?
The Mahindra Thar Roxx, launched on August 15, 2024, initially featured Ivory White interiors, offering a luxurious appeal. However, owners found it difficult to maintain, especially in dusty and muddy conditions. Recognizing the concerns, Mahindra first introduced a Mocha Brown interior in October 2024 for the 4WD variants. Now, the Mocha Grey interior is expected to fully replace the Ivory White option.
Pictures of the new Mocha Grey theme have surfaced online, showing light grey dashboard elements, seats, armrests, and door trims. This theme blends a modern aesthetic with a practical touch, making it easier to maintain and well-suited for off-road adventures.
New Features Without a Price Hike
Along with the interior upgrade, Mahindra has added several new features to the Thar Roxx, all without increasing the price. These include:
-
Keyless entry request sensors
-
Sliding co-driver armrest for enhanced comfort
-
Aerodynamic flat wipers to reduce cabin noise
These updates enhance the driving experience while maintaining the SUV’s rugged appeal.
