Both utility vehicles have received an overwhelming response from car buyers.

On the other side, the Mahindra Thar Roxx shattered all records. The SUV has registered an unprecedented 1,76,218 bookings within the first hour of its launch. The Thar Roxx already commands a waiting period of over 1 year. Demand is so high and to meet the rising interest, Mahindra has to revise its plans and aims to increase its production capacity.

Adding to it, the EV comes with comprehensive warranty and buyback plans.
