What to watch

- Roxx resale values and owner feedback on real-world comfort, reliability and off-road capability.
- Use OG Thar as a conversion vehicle for first-time SUV and off-road buyers, with accessory bundles and finance-led monthly payment offers.
- Protect Roxx premium positioning through variant walk strategies that emphasize rear-seat usability, technology, safety and automatic powertrain availability rather than headline price.
- Rationalize overlapping upper-OG variants if Roxx creates sustained mix migration, preserving OG as the more purpose-built and attainable offering.

- Increase accessory, service-pack and insurance attachment rates, as the wider range creates more opportunities for personalization-led retail margin.
