Can you please let me know from where in Bangalore did you source the alloys and tyres? What is the size and brand of these tyres? Did you source them from a specific store and get them installed or did you source them yourself and then took it to a workshop?

I got them from Car Decor in Jaya Nagar. The tyres are 255 65/18 Yokohama Geolandar AT. Not happy with the installation though. Had issues with vibrations due to incorrect installation of spacers; had to get 1.25 inches Proman spacers to resolve the issue from Madhus. Would advise you to shop around; Madhus can source you alloys and wheels along with other shops in JC Road area.

Thank you for sharing. Based on your experience, it does not seem to be an easy to do exercise. Looks like you had to get hands-on into these modifications for tyre and alloy. I somehow assumed that 285/60/18 would be easy to accomodate in the Roxx. I guess I was wrong?

The puncture is fixed. The TPMS is interior. So just to experiment I changed the tyres back and the original spare tyre is now back as spare and yet the TPMS isn't able to detect. Which rules out any sensor issues.

Hi, when I took my Hawk for first service, they informed me that there are recalls for fuel line pipes from fuel pump and the roof console light. These were replaced swiftly with the new ones.

I am sharing some pictures of the same for your understanding.

Saw this white Roxx with black grille. I thought it looked subtle and interesting.

I checked with my dealer, they are saying recall is for a certain batch only and will be communicated by Mahindra to the respective owners.

Yes, I checked for my car (MX5 AT Diesel) but there's no recall according to the workshop. Maybe specific batch only.

Mahindra Thar Roxx AX7L D AT 4WD: Initial Ownership Experience

Dealership Experience
Mahindra’s dealership experience has always been a mixed bag, and this time was no different. Unlike premium brands that offer a seamless and engaging experience, Mahindra’s approach is laid-back, slow, and often frustrating.

• The process is far from proactive—you have to constantly push and follow up to get things done.
• Post-delivery, the sales team goes radio silent, even within the first few days, when most new owners would have queries.
• Mahindra should consider differentiating the experience for customers spending ₹30L+, but their self-cannibalization strategy (same model selling between ₹15L - ₹30L) likely prevents this.

________________________________________
Accessories:
Hinge Steps (Black): Adds a rugged aesthetic more than practical value, but they do enhance the look.
Mud Guards, Air Dam, and Tank Protectors: Absolute essentials if you prefer a stock look without going overboard on modifications.
7D Mats: Bit of a disappointment—they slide around and weren’t even properly installed. Had to stick them myself mid-drive as they interfered with the accelerator.
Sunshades: Basic “pluck and fix” type, making them inconvenient for frequent window operation, especially when talking to fuel pump attendants or at toll booths


Accessibility & Comfort:
One of my biggest concerns was how my 70+ year-old parents would manage getting in and out of the ROXX.

1. Surprise, surprise! They had no issues whatsoever, thanks to the well-placed grab rails.
2. Not only was ingress and egress easier than expected, but they also found it comfortable once seated. For those second-guessing this—don’t worry, it’s not a dealbreaker!
   
   Seating Comfort:

• Under-thigh support is adequate for shorter drivers (like me, at 5’6”), but taller drivers may find it lacking on long journeys.
• Ventilated seats work just fine, keeping you cool and comfortable even on extended road trips.

Panoramic Sunroof:

• A major highlight! Passengers absolutely love it.
• However, cleaning it is a challenge, especially for shorter people. Dust and water stains tend to accumulate, affecting the view from inside.
• May be good to buy a long-handle glass cleaner to make maintenance easier.

________________________________________
Practicality & Electronics:

1. Cubby holes & bottle holders: Limited space—and the Harman Kardon speakers eat into what’s available. Not that these speakers are great, they seemed pretty average to me despite playing around with the settings
2. Limited space in the driver’s armrest storage. For e.g. a Samsung S22 Ultra doesn’t fit in here.
3. No sunglass holder—which is a bit annoying.
   
4. Wireless Charging: Works, but painfully slow (63% → 87% in 8 hours!).
5. Flat-Bed Boot: No grooves, meaning objects roll around freely unless secured. Keeping a small anti-slip mat can help.
6. Keyfob Alert: The car honks 3-4 times when the keyfob leaves the vehicle—super embarrassing, and no option to disable it (yet!).
7. USB-A Slot: Dashcam remains powered even after ignition is off for 90 seconds (or indefinitely if doors remain unlocked).
   
8. Temperature settings don’t display when adjusting AC knobs while on Android Auto. Need to press the home button to view it.
9. Wireless connectivity disconnects intermittently (happened three times), but reconnects on its own.
10. Headlights: Does its job, with no need for an upgrade.

How Does It Ride?
I've read numerous blogs and watched countless videos discussing the ride quality—or the supposed lack of it. Many claim that body roll is highly noticeable, making rear seat passengers uncomfortable. However, my experience was slightly different.

Solo vs. Loaded Ride Quality:
the ride feels different for sure when driving solo, with two passengers, or with a full load.
Surprisingly, body movements were never a real issue.

Where It’s Noticeable:
Rumble strips can be harsh, especially the more pronounced ones, making the ride a bit jerky.
Patchy roads also highlight the ladder-frame SUV dynamics, but it’s far from uncomfortable.
Despite moving from a Jeep Compass to the Thar Roxx, I felt completely at ease with its ride quality. Even my family and friends who drove it agreed.

High-Speed Stability:
Absolutely confidence-inspiring—stays planted even at highway speeds.
The sweet spot on highways is between 100-115 km/h.
At no point did I feel the need to dial it back due to instability.

Body Roll:
I put it to the test on sharp ramp-up curves while traveling from Salem to Coimbatore, and it handled them exceptionally well, even at good speeds.

City Maneuverability:
Despite its large size, I navigated narrow busy roads, cramped hospital parking lots, and tight spaces without any issues.
Once you get used to its dimensions, it drives like a charm.
________________________________________
Engine: Power, Agility & Performance
The engine is an absolute pleasure to drive—pulls strongly without hesitation.

1. Overtaking: Never a concern—most overtakes are smooth and effortless.
2. Noise on Inclines: On hilly terrain, the engine gets a bit vocal at times. Occasionally, I found myself wishing for paddle shifters—would have made quick downshifts easier.
3. Manual Mode : Works fine but won’t upshift if the RPM is under 2K, even if you try to override it.
4. Steering Feel & Agility: I let a colleague (Innova Chrysta owner) drive it, and he was completely smitten by the engine, and how agile and light the steering felt.

________________________________________
ADAS & Other Features

1. Electronic Start-Stop: Highly intrusive. Activates 20+ times in a minute in Bangalore traffic. I now manually disable it every time.
2. Lane Assist: Feels intrusive on two-lane highways, where frequent lane changes are necessary. Every time I overtook, the steering feedback & chime would activate, which got annoying quickly.
3. Proximity Sensors: Extremely useful in bumper-to-bumper traffic, providing clear distance indications on both sides.
4. Other ADAS Features: Haven’t explored them extensively yet.

________________________________________
Mileage:
1. Bangalore → Palakkad: (circa 430 kilometers) : 11.7 kmpl (both onboard computer & tank-to-tank calculations matched). At one point, I even saw 12.1 kmpl, which was a pleasant surprise.
2. Return Journey: Mileage dropped to 10.9 kmpl. Refueled at a BPCL COCO outlet, reset my calculations, and drove conservatively. Outcome: 10.2 kmpl—not sure why, but hoping this was an anomaly.
________________________________________
Summary:
Despite its minor quirks, the Thar Roxx is an SUV that delivers an experience, not just a drive.
• Striking road presence that commands attention.
• Comfortable for both daily commutes and long drives.
• Confidence-inspiring high-speed stability.
• A thrilling, enjoyable drive that always puts a smile on your face.

So the story so far. I get a call from service for replacing fuel line as part of recall. One evening prior to pick up the right front tyre pressure was a bit low 28psi. The car goes to service comes back late night (dropped by Mahindra guy). The car stays exact spot over night and morning I see this



Anyhow we replace this tyre with spare. The spare tyre is now the right front tyre and the RF tyre goes to spare bay. New issue now tht TPMS won't pick the spare area pressure. So after a day of trying running the car around with no luck we replace the tyres back. So spare is now at its original position yet again the TPMS fails to pick the spare tyre area pressure/Temp. The running tyres are all calculated and checked by auto learn process except for spare.



The only thing left is now to do TPMS manual learning as showing in DIY video posted on Youtube. I did give a call to service guys about them missing this and the new tpms issue. " Sir we'll have to learn about it by hit and try may be manual learning works"

Disappointed with the service guys alertness.

Thanks, I spoke to Madhus this morning, and they insisted that I will need a spacer for 18-inch stock tires, too. Is this true? I was considering Plati or JTI alloy wheels but wasn't aware that a spacer is needed. Can anyone confirm this?

Got our AX7L DAT 4WD / Everest White delivered. Booked on 03 Oct, dates given Mid Jan-Feb 2025. Vehicle manufactured last week of Jan and dispatched. Reached BLR by 03Feb, followed by almost a week for delivery.

Moving from Seltos GTX+ DAT. Initial impressions are positive especially around refinement, ease of visibility, seating position and steering assist. Ride comfort- need to reduce tyre air pressure and observe.

No gear level humming or vibration at idle. Very slight horizontal movement during cold engine startup/shutdown. Noticed that the AC louvres feel flimsy.

Had taken 3 test drives to make sure this was the right choice. Dealership response was good, all three times they got the vehicle (same variant as mine) to home (09 kms away) for test drive. Full disclosure- there was a subtle (subtle++) push to go for XUV700, with good discounts. Vehicle came with MRF Wanderer, not sure if this is better than other makes like CEAT, JK.

Insurance (47k) Zero Dep + Return To Invoice for an IDV of 2195000/. Apart from a request to add on accessories, absolutely no push. Went with just the mudflaps (1599). Floor mats- not convinced with the quality, looking for options. Quality of Mahindra accessories in the brochure doesn't seem all that good.

Overall liking the vehicle, and looking forward to explore more.

I had to go for spacers because the Fuel alloys I went for was rubbing against the front brake calipers without spacers; so not sure if we can expect the same issue for other alloys as well.

Thanks, anyone else who has installed aftermarket alloys and had this issue? I have an MX3 version and am contemplating buying the stock alloys because of this spacer issue.
