Whenever it comes to off-road adventure, the Mahindra Thar’s name naturally springs to mind. Now Mahindra has made this legend even more attractive by introducing the Rocks Edition of the Thar.

The exterior look of the Thar Roxx is extremely robust and modern.

Headlamp: Bisexual projector headlamps with LED DRLs give better visibility and attractive appearance.
Wheel Arcs: With wide plastic trim, which protect the vehicle from stone or bushfire.
Wheels: The 17-inch alloy wheels also underline the Thar’s off-road ability.

Talking about the interior and comfort, modernity has also been taken care of in Thar Rocks.
