Mahindra Thar Roxx Star Edition launched at ₹16.85 lakh: New Citrine Yellow, blacked-out look, RWD-only

Mahindra has expanded the Thar Roxx lineup with a fresh special edition called the Thar Roxx Star Edition, launched at ₹16.85 lakh (ex-showroom). Based on the top-spec AX7L trim, this new variant is all about style upgrades—think gloss-black exterior elements, a darker cabin theme, and a brand-new paint shade that’s hard to miss.

If you like the Thar Roxx but wanted something that looks more aggressive and premium, the Star Edition is clearly aimed at you.


What’s new in the Thar Roxx Star Edition?

The highlight is the blacked-out makeover, inside and out. It keeps the same feature list and engines as the AX7L, but visually stands apart from the regular variants.

Key highlights

  • Starting price: ₹16.85 lakh (ex-showroom)

  • Based on AX7L (top trim)

  • New Citrine Yellow colour introduced

  • Gloss-black grille and alloy wheels

  • All-black interior theme

  • Petrol and diesel options

  • RWD only (no 4x4 option)


Thar Roxx Star Edition price list (ex-showroom)

Here’s the full pricing for the new special edition:

VariantPrice (Ex-showroom)
Star Edition Diesel MT (RWD)₹16.85 lakh
Star Edition Petrol AT (RWD)₹17.85 lakh
Star Edition Diesel AT (RWD)₹18.35 lakh

Most affordable option: Diesel Manual
Top-end Star Edition: Diesel Automatic


Exterior changes: Gloss-black details + new colour options

The Thar Roxx Star Edition gets a more “stealthy” stance thanks to multiple dark design touches.

What’s different outside?

  • Gloss-black grille (regular model uses body-coloured grille)

  • Gloss-black alloy wheels (regular model gets silver finish)

  • Star Edition badge on the C-pillar

  • New Citrine Yellow shade added to the Thar Roxx colour lineup

Colour options available

The Star Edition can be bought in 4 colour choices:

  • Citrine Yellow (NEW)

  • Tango Red

  • Everest White

  • Stealth Black

The new Citrine Yellow + black contrast is likely to be the biggest crowd-puller, especially for buyers who want their SUV to stand out on the road.


Interior updates: All-black cabin theme

Inside, Mahindra has swapped the lighter interior for a full black theme, giving the cabin a sportier look.

Cabin changes in Star Edition

  • Black leatherette upholstery

  • Suede accents

  • Darker, more premium overall feel compared to the regular interior

Good news: while the theme is updated, the equipment list remains the same as the AX7L trim—so you’re not missing out on features.


Features: Same loaded AX7L package (no cutbacks)

Mahindra hasn’t removed any key features in the Star Edition. You still get the full top-trim experience.

Top features include

  • All-LED lighting

  • Dual 10.25-inch screens (instrument cluster + infotainment)

  • Ventilated front seats

  • 360-degree camera

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

  • Panoramic sunroof

  • 9-speaker Harman Kardon audio system

  • Terrain modes

  • And more

So if you’re shopping for a feature-loaded Thar Roxx variant, this edition ticks the same boxes while looking more premium.


Engine and gearbox options: Petrol + diesel, but RWD only

Mechanically, the Thar Roxx Star Edition stays unchanged.

Engine specs

EnginePowerTorqueGearbox
2.0L Turbo Petrol177hp380NmAT only
2.2L Diesel175hp400NmMT / AT

Important note: No 4x4

This is a big one—the Star Edition is rear-wheel-drive only.
So if you’re specifically buying the Thar Roxx for hardcore off-roading, you’ll need to look at other variants that offer a 4x4 system.


Should you buy the Thar Roxx Star Edition?

The Star Edition is meant for buyers who want:
Top-spec Thar Roxx features
More street presence and blacked-out styling
A fresh new colour option
A premium-looking cabin

But if you want 4x4 hardware, this isn’t the variant to pick.
