Mahindra Thar Roxx: Mahindra is preparing to introduce its popular off-road SUV Thar Roxx with new mechanical updates. In this update, the SUV may get the company's new DaVinci damping technology. With this, the ride quality of the vehicle on bad roads, potholes and rough roads is expected to be better than before. Recently the updated Thar Roxx has also been spotted testing in the dealership yard. However, Mahindra has not yet officially announced this update.
Mahindra Thar Roxx will get new DaVinci dampers
The biggest change of the updated Mahindra Thar Roxx can be seen in its suspension system. According to reports, it will be provided with DCx valve based dampers, which Mahindra offers under the name of its DaVinci Damping Technology.
The company introduced this technology with the XUV 7XO in January 2026. After this it was also included in the new three-door Thar OG. Now preparations are on to bring this technology to the five-door Thar Roxx.
The current Thar Roxx gets double-wishbone suspension at the front. At the same time, Pentalink suspension with Watts linkage has been provided at the rear. Frequency dependent damping technology is present in both its suspension setups. Changes in this system are expected with the new update.
What is DaVinci Damping Technology and how does it work?
Mahindra's DaVinci technology works on DCx valve based dampers. A special piston valve is installed in it, inside which there are thin metal discs of different sizes.
When the pressure of hydraulic oil inside the suspension changes, these discs turn and control the flow of oil. This allows the damper to change its response according to road conditions and shocks.
This technology is designed to handle a much wider frequency range than typical frequency dependent damping systems. The advantage of this could be that the vehicle reacts in a more balanced manner to both small potholes and sharp bumps.
What changes will there be in design and interior?
According to the pictures revealed during testing, there is little possibility of major changes in the exterior design of the updated Thar Roxx. The existing boxy and powerful look of the SUV may remain intact. However, newly designed alloy wheels like Thar OG have been seen in the testing model.
Talking about the interior, the current layout of the cabin is expected to remain the same. However, the company may make some changes in the upholstery and trim material of the seats with the new update. Official information regarding these changes has not been revealed yet.
There will be no major change in engine and power
The new Mahindra Thar Roxx is expected to continue with the existing engine and powertrain options. Both petrol and diesel engines are available in it.
2.0 liter turbo petrol engine: This engine comes with two different tunings. One of its variants has 162hp power and 330Nm torque, while the other has 177hp power and 380Nm torque.
2.2 liter turbo diesel engine: The diesel engine is also available in two power tunings. One of its variants generates power of 152hp and torque of 330Nm. Whereas, the second variant gives power of 175hp and torque of 400Nm.
Talking about the drivetrain, Thar Roxx has the option of rear-wheel drive (RWD). At the same time, 4×4 drive system is available only in diesel engine variants. At present, changes in engine and gearbox have not been confirmed with the new update.
When will the updated Mahindra Thar Roxx be launched?
Mahindra has not yet shared any official information regarding the launch date and price of the updated Thar Roxx. However, the presence of an SUV during testing indicates that the company is working on it. Its price may also change due to new suspension and other possible changes.
If Thar Roxx comes in the market with DaVinci Damping Technology, then its biggest benefit can be given to those customers who use this SUV on off-roading as well as on city roads daily. For now, customers will have to wait for the official announcement of the company.
