Roxx vs Gurkha vs Jimny

After months of anticipation, Mahindra has finally launched the much-awaited the 5-door Thar.

Mahindra has launched the Thar Roxx in India at a starting price of Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Thar competes with two prominent 5-door lifestyle SUVs: the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the Force Gurkha. The Jimny too has a strong legacy in India thanks to the Gypsy, which was on sale for 33 years.

The five-door variants of the Thar and Gurkha are significantly longer than the Jimny. It’s clear that the Jimny is not in the same league when it comes to size, but it is the lightest by a fair margin, which in combination with its size makes it the most manoeuvrable.

The Thar Roxx is the only one that offers both petrol and diesel fuel options; the Gurkha is diesel-only while the Jimny is petrol-only.

The Thar Roxx, Jimny, and Gurkha 5-door each offer distinct specifications tailored to cater to the different preferences of Indian buyers.
Below is a comparison of the offroad stats, Dimensions, Engine specs and price comparision for these three models.

The Gurkha has the least departure angle, at 25 degrees, while the Jimny has the highest at 50 degrees. The Gurkha 5 Door has the most water wading capacity thanks to its snorkel intake. The Thar Roxx comes second in this department with a water wading capacity that’s 50mm shy of the Gurkha 5 Door. The Jimny offers a poor water wading capacity of 300mm.
