The Thar Roxx Star Edition debuts a striking Citrine Yellow hero colour, piano black exterior accents, and a more aggressive black-out aesthetic.
The SUV shifts to an all-black leatherette theme with suede accents and ventilated seats, while retaining its top-tier 10.2-inch dual screens.
Mahindra has officially expanded its lifestyle SUV portfolio with the launch of the Thar Roxx Star Edition. Positioned as a more exclusive and aesthetically premium iteration of the popular 5-door Roxx, the Star Edition has been introduced at an introductory price of ₹16.85 lakh (ex-showroom).
However, the Star Edition is strictly a design-led special edition, focusing on visual flair and cabin sophistication to keep the model fresh for 2026.
Bold Exterior Enhancements
The Thar Roxx Star Edition stands out from the regular Roxx with blacked-out exterior trim that gives the SUV a more aggressive and upscale appearance. The front grille and alloy wheels are finished in piano-black, contrasting sharply with the body colour and reinforcing the variant’s premium character.
Mahindra has also introduced a new Citrine Yellow paint option as the standout “hero” colour for this edition. Buyers can also choose from existing shades such as Tango Red, Everest White and Stealth Black, offering a range of bold exterior choices.
Feature-Rich Cabin and Technology
Although the mechanical underpinnings remain unchanged, the Star Edition brings a feature-packed interior that enhances comfort and convenience. The new cabin features:
All-Black Leatherette Upholstery: Premium seats with suede accents for a tactile, high-end feel.
Darkened Dashboard & Trim: Most of the cabin surfaces have been darkened, though a beige roof liner is retained to prevent the interior from feeling too claustrophobic.
Flagship Features: Since the Star Edition is based on the high-spec AX7 L trim, it remains loaded with tech. You get the 10.2-inch touchscreen, a fully digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree surround-view camera, and the premium 9-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
Engine and Performance
Mechanically, the Star Edition remains identical to the standard Thar Roxx. It continues to be offered with the tried-and-tested mStallion and mHawk engines:
2.0L TGDi Petrol: Delivering 176 bhp and 380 Nm, paired exclusively with an automatic transmission.
2.2L mHawk Diesel: Producing 172 bhp and up to 400 Nm, available with both manual and automatic gearbox options.
The Thar Roxx Star Edition is aimed at buyers who want the ruggedness of a Thar but with a level of exclusivity and "factory-custom" styling that stands out in a crowd. It continues to rival the likes of the Force Gurkha 5-door and the Maruti Jimny, while carving out a niche as a more premium alternative in the mid-size SUV segment.
