Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Thar ROXX sounds a bit weird. Thar Armada was better.

Gives me a desi G-Wagon vibe rather than Wrangler.

Weird name Thar ROXX. Yes Thar Armada was better. May be they are saving the name 'Armada' for future use. Anyways, reveal/launch on Independence day is confirmed.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Damn. Armada sounded much better.

Roxx feels like some character name from a video game or comics. Reminds me of Disha Patani's character in Kalki -Roxie.

Even the name they used in USA for the Thar, Roxor feels much better.

This UTube advertisement has to qualify for the top award in “Most ridiculous advertisement ever”. For a company of the stature of Mahindra this is rubbish. Don’t even like the name - Thar ROXX

They must have been smoking something really strong

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

So sweet, they allowed a 7-year old boy on a sugar-high to select the name for this car!

Zip-Zap-Zoom, XUV tic-tac-toe (3XO), Roxx … What’s with this infantile nomenclature?

Mahindra, bringing you great cars and silly names

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Just saw a video, and decided to jump to check the thread and see what members have to say, Not disappointed.

The name really sounds kiddish, i remember keeping our phone’s bluetooth name with such names back in the day.

Rest, i anticipate this will be received well. Specifically here in Punjab region where the 3 door is already a hit.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

What's with the name? I really expected the Armada name plate back. But then at the back of the mind I knew something like this would eventually come up. Sometimes I feel it didnt even need a suffix.

That said it really looks promising and will be a blockbuster from day one. I already seen more people rushing to the showrooms for pre bookings after this teaser video.

As for me, Im just trying to see what all I can fit as a bolt on from the Roxx to my Rex (my three door Thar)

Another point is I see the front camera incorporated in the grille. Wonder how that will be accommodated in aftermarket grilles that buyers may install.

But then again I guess the accessory guys will have a some provision for that as well in their aftermarket grilles.

Waiting for 15th August

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Ideally suffix was not required. Whatever be the name, it is a THAR and will surpass Scorpio N bookings.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

As I don’t know much about armada, I felt Roxx better than Armada. It sounds like Thar Rocks ��. If they tune Suspension and seats towards comfort. Definitely it will be added in my garage. I got back and neck pain issues after driving Thar RWD for long drive. Currently I can only drive it over a weekend. But definitely a big NO as a daily Driver.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Very cheesy ad I must say. One could be forgiven for thinking it was for the bikes and not “The SUV”.

Re: Field trials of the 4-door Mahindra Thar begin!

Mahindra and their gaudy naming strategy continues. If I bought this I would remove the roxx badging the very next possible moment. Apart from this, the jeep looks very handsome IMO. My friend is waiting to book one once the bookings open.

Re: Mahindra Thar Roxx is the official name of the 5-door Thar

Roxx sounds really wannabe and more like a Gen-Z slang when ironically the median buyers will be from a late 30's to mid 40's demographic. Thar Armada was miles better or they could've just named it plan old 'Rocks', would've been a much better sounding off-road name.
No big daddy nonsense this time around . Just, plain ol' "The SUV"

Irrespective of all that, it does look amazing!
Let's just hope they start deliveries ASAP post launch and that the waiting period doesn't go upto 2030

Re: Mahindra Thar Roxx is the official name of the 5-door Thar

First it was the O's, now I think again some jyotishi has asked Mahindra to include X's in their names to continue the growth potential
