Its a bit surprising to see that the higher MX5 variant actually lacks some features youd expect. Typically, as you move up in variant levels, more features are added. However, in the MX5, certain features from the AX3L variant are missing, despite the MX5 borrowing its features.

These missing features include Adrenox connected car, Remote Commands, Smart Wearable Support, DTS Sound Staging, a 10.24-inch HD Digital Cluster, Inbuilt Navigation by MapMyIndia, Fully Automatic Temperature Control, and an Active Carbon Filter. Even though the MX5 includes AX3L features, the absence of these specific features is quite noticeable.

The AX5L variant offers both 2WD and 4WD options for its diesel automatic engine, giving buyers a more extensive range of features compared to the MX5 variant. While the MX5 might fall short in terms of features, it does provide a broader selection of engine choices, which the AX5L doesnt match.

Mahindra Thar Roxx: Safety Features

Common Safety Features Across All Variants

When discussing safety, I've listed the common features available across all variants. This way, even if you choose a lower or entry-level variant, youll still know what safety features you can expect.

Safety Features Offered on Selected Variants

Mahindra offers Level 2 ADAS features in their vehicles, but these are only available in the AX3L, AX5L, and AX7L variants. Unfortunately, the MX1, MX3, and MX5 variants do not come with ADAS. Additionally, features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go and Smart Pilot Assist are only available in the automatic gearbox versions of the AX3L, AX5L, and AX7L.

The base variant comes with a day-night inside rear-view mirror, whereas the higher variants get an auto-dimming mirror. Additionally, rear and front parking sensors are standard on all models except the entry-level variant.
