Mahindra Thar Roxx Waiting Woes Begin As Delivery Dates Enter 2026
The Mahindra Thar Roxx was launched in August this year, and the unofficial bookings were already active way before the official channels and that too, gaining a significant start. Now, recent reports suggest that buyers who book the Mahindra Thar Roxx now might have to wait up to 18 months for delivery. This means new owners could potentially receive their vehicles in 2026. Early deliveries of the Mahindra Thar Roxx have started but be prepared to wait as currently, deliveries are limited to the AX5, AX7L, and MX5 variants, with most being manual transmissions. Customers with these bookings can expect their vehicles sometime between late-2024 and early-2025.
For those who opted for the 4WD model with an ivory interior, the wait extends even further. down the road. Deliveries for these models are scheduled for early to mid-2025. The wait gets even longer for those who chose the 4WD with a mocha brown interior theme. These customers might not see their Thar Roxx until sometime between mid-2025 and May 2026, translating to a potential 18-month wait. Similar delays apply to higher-end 2WD variants with automatic transmissions. High demand and production limitations are likely the culprits behind these extended delivery timelines.
Good News For Thar 3-Door Buyers
While the brand is ramping up its production capacity to meet the sky rocketing demands, the Thar 3 door is something that has benefitted from the divided attention. As per the latest timeline, if you are booking the 3-door Thar, you can take it home with a maximum waiting time of up to 3 months. This can be even lower than this, depending on what engine options and transmission you opt for.
Verdict
Mahindra seems to have a long waiting times for almost all its SUVs at the time of their launch, which is something that is now a new normal. While the ideal scenario is a shorter to no waiting time, but for a market size this big, which is also obsessed with SUVs at this point, its quite challenging to keep up the pace. However, I would love to see a reasonably lower waiting time as this timeline at most occasions, is borderline impractical. But for true enthusiasts, the wait has never been sweeter!
