The Mahindra Thar Roxx has been a hit since its launch, blending rugged off-road capability with everyday usability in a five-door package. Now, Mahindra has introduced the Star Edition, a special version that amps up the style with a stealthy, all-black theme. Launched on January 23, 2026, this edition gives the Thar Roxx a more premium and aggressive vibe without changing the core strengths.
Bold Design Updates
What catches the eye first is the piano black front grille and 19-inch piano black alloy wheels. These replace the usual silver accents, creating a darker, meaner look often called “stealth mode.” The exterior sticks to a Stealth Black paint, though some reports mention a new Citrine Yellow option in the lineup. Badges like “STAR EDN” add that exclusive touch. Overall, it’s the same tough Thar Roxx body – boxy, high ground clearance, LED lights – but now with a sophisticated blacked-out appeal that stands out on the road.
Loaded with Premium Features
The Star Edition is based on the top-spec AX7L trim, so it comes packed. Highlights include a panoramic sunroof for open-sky drives, twin 10.25-inch screens (one for infotainment, one for the driver), ventilated front seats to stay cool, and a Harman Kardon sound system for great audio. Other goodies like a 360-degree camera, wireless charging, and Level 2 ADAS safety tech are carried over. It’s rear-wheel drive only, no 4×4 here, but that keeps things simpler for most buyers.
Powerful Engine Options
No changes under the hood. You get the trusty 2.0-litre turbo-petrol (around 177 hp) with automatic transmission, or the 2.2-litre diesel (up to 175 hp) in manual or auto. The diesel feels torquey and efficient for highways and light off-roading, while petrol offers smoother performance. It’s powerful enough to tackle rough paths, though serious off-roaders might miss the 4×4.
Pricing and Availability
The best part? It’s actually cheaper than the regular AX7L in some variants. Introductory prices (ex-showroom) start at ₹16.85 lakh for diesel manual, ₹17.85 lakh for petrol auto, and ₹18.35 lakh for diesel auto. That’s a smart move by Mahindra, making this stylish edition more accessible. It’s limited, so if you’re interested, check dealerships soon.
