Mahindra Thar Roxx Differential and Interior Quality Concerns Raise Customer Frustration
The Mahindra Thar Roxx is taking the SUV off-roader world by storm due to its aggressive underbody and an evolved look, but despite a rising price tag in some variants, several customers are now dissatisfied with returning problems, including worn-out differentials and cheap interior.
Problems at Differentiation
A common problem is the failure of differentials that are impairing the car’s performance, especially while being used in heavy-duty activities, such as an off-road trail or even steep inclines.
Owners have complained that the vehicle is making strange noises from the drivetrain, leading to mechanical failure. This is a critical incident when the vehicle is engineered to handle aggressive terrains and will question the robustness of the Roxx’s drivetrain.
Poor Interior Quality
Mahindra marketed the Thar Roxx as a premium off-road vehicle, but most buyers are disappointed by the quality of materials used for the interior.
There are specific complaints:
1) Cheap hard-plastic finishes on the dashboard and door trims.You will find poor finishing and exposed panel gaps.
2) Light-colored upholstery is a plus point for staining, though it is not easy to maintain.
3) Given that the base price starts at ₹15 lakh and goes up over ₹20 lakh for the top trims, customers expect much more attention toward interior refinement and durability.
Mahindra Never Gives An Answer To The Above Sources
What has piled on buyer frustrations, however, is Mahindra’s slow or inadequate responses to these problems.
Customers took social media and automotive forums to express unsatisfactory service experiences, delays in attending to technical issues, and no clear solutions provided for constant differential failures.
Balancing Strengths and Weaknesses
Despite all these shortcomings, Thar Roxx does have noteworthy strengths:
1) Off-road capabilities: The Penta-link suspension and brake-locking differentials (if working as designed) make for good angles in the untamed terrain.
2) powerful engines: The 2.2L diesel generates 170 bhp and a 370 Nm of torque-a decent power source for demanding driver tests.
Mahindra Thar Roxx promises to do great as an off-road SUV but carries itself short on reliability issues in general and on premium quality in most areas.
For Mahindra, differential failures to be addressed; cabin material improvement, and an after-sales service are essential to building the confidence of the buyers.
Buyers interested in Thar Roxx should compare these against strengths with thorough inspection of the vehicle before making the purchase.
