Key highlights
- Mahindra Thar Roxx to be upgraded with DaVinci dampers
- Low-speed ride quality and high-speed stability are likely to improve
- No other technical changes are expected
Not long ago, we revealed that Mahindra is expected to add the DaVinci suspension update to the five-door Thar Roxx. The brand has now confirmed that a new update is coming soon for the SUV. Online rumours suggest that the DaVinci suspension will be offered on the range-topping variants, similar to what we saw on the new Thar OG.
What is the DaVinci suspension?
Introduced in January 2026 on the XUV 7XO, the DaVinci dampers made their way to the Thar family with the Thar OG’s launch. The DaVinci dampers are DCx valve-based dampers that adjust according to a wide range of frequencies. The current Thar Roxx comes with the Pentalink and Watts Linkage suspension, along with the Frequency-Dependent Damping.
The DCx valve-based dampers use a special piston valve with thin metal discs that bend depending on the hydraulic fluid flow. Engineers can tune this setup for a wide range of frequencies to offer a plush and more stable ride quality.
As expected, the addition of the DaVinci dampers will upgrade the ride quality and stability of the current version. We believe that this setup is likely to be offered on the range-topping variants only, similar to the Thar OG. However, the addition of DaVinci suspension will reduce the body roll considerably and improve the low-speed ride quality along with the high-speed stability.
With that said, Mahindra is most likely to keep the rest of the car unaltered. This update will be strictly restricted to the suspension only. However, we can not deny that new visual upgrades and new features could also be offered, as this will be the first big change for the Thar Roxx in the past two years since launch.
