Mahindra & Mahindra has launched Thar Rocks in the Indian market. This is a 5-door version of the company’s most popular SUV Thar. It has been provided with off-road technology of the existing 3-door Thar. New features have been added to the car for comfort and safety.
Thar Rocks has features like a new 6-slat grille, all LED lighting setup, 10.25-inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats and auto AC. For safety, the new SUV is equipped with safety features like 6 airbags standard, TPMS and ADAS.

The base petrol MX1 variant of the car is priced at Rs 12.99 lakh and the base diesel model is priced at Rs 13.99 lakh (both prices ex-showroom, introductory). The new Thar Rocks is Rs 1.64 lakh more expensive than the standard 3 door Thar.
The price of other variants will be announced soon. Bookings for the SUV have been started. Its delivery is expected to begin next month. In the segment, Mahindra Thar Rocks will compete with the 5-door Force Gurkha. Apart from this, it can also be chosen as an alternative to Maruti Jimny.
Exterior: Thar rocks traditional boxy profile
The design of the Thar Rocks has a traditional boxy profile like the 3-door Thar, but many changes have been made to it. The SUV has LED headlights with C-shaped LED DRL and a new body color 6-slat grille. Some silver elements have also been given on the front bumper. The fog lights and turn indicators are in the same place as the 3-door Thar, but their design has been changed.
Talking about the side profile, here you will see two extra doors and the rear door handle is fitted on the C-pillar. It also has 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and a footrest for sitting in the car. Thar Rocks also has a matte roof, which has a panoramic sunroof. The company has also provided a single-pane sunroof in its lower variants.
Its taillights have been given a C-shape and a tailgate mounted spare wheel has also been provided at the rear. The special thing is that a wiper has also been provided on its rear glass, which is not available in the 3 door Thar. The rear window and rear door open separately as before.
