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

Feel like standing up and saying - "Nahin! Keh do ki yeh jhooth hai!"

But seriously, a 5 mins interaction with ChatGPT could have suggested better names.

Here's from my query to ChatGPT to suggest names:
  • Thar Crest
  • Thar Vista
  • Thar Cascade
  • Thar Solstice
  • Thar Zephyr

I feel every single of these names suggested by ChatGPT are better than Thar Roxx.

THAR ROCK is a great name. Why the ROXX is beyond me. Anyways, it looks like a competent product.

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

Armada was a brilliant name, why change? The brand has heft and decent recall, either they've set it aside for another product or I see it as an opportunity lost.

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

They chose the black color to hide the peeping second door and random angles of the third box.

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

ROXX !
Don't know what's with Mahindra and their naming strategy.

The name Thar is a legacy.
And a new name being associated with it, must have been equally good.
Earlier for a limited edition they named Thar Earth edition and now they have named the 5 door as "ROXX". Doesn't synch/sound well with the name Thar, (atleast for me).

OT:
The first thing I remembered when I read ROXX, was this below gift we received in some function a few years ago.

Mahindra Thar Roxx is the official name of the 5-door Thar-images-13.jpeg

Meanwhile any idea what could be the starting/launch price for ROXX?

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

Disappointed with the name, won't age well.
The v2 of 5 door Thar will probably be called something else, maybe without the Thar nomenclature at all.

Armada or even brand new standalone nameplate would've been better.

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

With original Thar, one of the first things that people did was get a new grill and lights. With this, itl be debadging and getting rid of this dumb a** name off of this vehicle.

I can imagine so many people replacing Thar ROXX badge with just Thar from the 2 Door varient. This is just atrocious from Mahindra

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

The name sounds like a veiled reference to the thar’s suspension which can be hard as rocks!

On a more serious note, this car just looks amazing and menacing in the all black guise. Looks like Mahindra have another winner on their hands!

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

H-A-T-E the name!! But the vehicle looks great. Going to book it after the initial rush settles down.I'll be removing this name as soon as I buy this and then will procure a classy looking 'Armada' name plate and stick it in its place...

That name is very cheesy! They could have chosen a better name to go with it's butch styling.

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

Though "ROXX" is a uncommon name, this 5-door 4x4 car will be liked by people.

This strategy will make it talk of the town, as people will be taking about the rationale for zeroing on this name.

THAR ROCKS !!

They trademarked so many decent-great sounding names but settled on Roxx . Thar gladius would’ve sounded fantastic to be honestMahindra Thar Roxx is the official name of the 5-door Thar-img_3172.jpeg

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

If there's one car that doesn't need a silly name to appeal to the masses, it's Thar. Cars like Punch needed the name to be simple and stupid, but not this.
They should have gone with Mahindra Commander. Because personally I'm relieved that they didn't pick Armada. I just don't get Armada vibes from this car that I got as a kid. Hope they come up with something quirky like say the FJ Cruiser and call it the Armada.
