Thar OG vs Roxx: The ₹13 lakh price gap hides some big differences

Power Divide

The two Thars may share the family look, but their power figures tell a different story. The Thar OG offers three engines, while the Roxx gets two, with the Roxx's 2.0-litre turbo-petrol reaching around 174hp and 380Nm in its stated specification.

Diesel Duel

The diesel battle gets particularly interesting. The OG's 2.2-litre mHawk makes around 150hp and 330Nm, while the Roxx can reach around 172hp and 370Nm in its top specification. The difference becomes more important when buyers start comparing variants and drivetrains.

4WD Split

Four-wheel drive is not available in the same way across the two SUVs. The Thar OG offers 4WD with both its larger diesel and petrol engines, while the Roxx restricts 4WD to its diesel engine, making the drivetrain choice an important part of the comparison.

Price Gap

The Thar OG starts at ₹10.32 lakh and tops out at ₹18.99 lakh, while the Roxx stretches from ₹12.52 lakh to ₹23.52 lakh. That creates a substantial price gap, putting the two SUVs into different buying calculations despite their shared Thar identity.

Daily Choice

The OG is positioned around a more compact, off-road-focused format, while the Roxx brings a more lifestyle-oriented proposition. For buyers, the decision is therefore not simply about maximum horsepower; engine, 4WD availability, transmission and budget all change the equation.
