[@kiranbharadwajk277]

Wow glad to hear!! Cheers from India. And I hope Roxor ll be made street legal as so many people are expecting that to happen.

[@eclipsegst9419]

Jeep has to be butthurt as hell for not thinking of this idea first. That said, I doubt they will make a street legal one because the fact it isn't street legal is the only reason they won the case as far as I know. It's fine as it is, if you want street legal an older Jeep is pretty cheap or an imported Mitsubishi Jeep which is also diesel and street legal. It would be tough to get sales from that market in my opinion. But as a side by side I see this doing very well. It's a lot more useful than a Polaris ranger, and no having to pay for license and insurance like an actual Jeep. And most states it can be legally driven to the fields on road as farm equipment.

[@Malice-Towards-One-and-All]

Decades back I used to drive Mahindra Jeep in mountainous areas of Himalaya on dirt roads , in snow, through mud and streams and at times no roads. Believe me it always took me home safe and sound. I am happy to see a new Mahindra Roxor and really feel proud that people all around the world are showing respect to this pedigree from stables of Indian auto maker Mahindra. I have seen the Indian version on roads and it looks strong powerful and dependable and young generation has taken a fancy to it. It is perfectly stree legal in India and comes with few more creature comforts and safety features .

[@RajKumar-kw4hz]

Here’s Mahindra’s full statement: We understand that a complaint has been filed by FCA with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against Mahindra. Mahindra has not yet been served with the complaint and we prefer not to comment at length on the dispute at this time. However, we have reviewed FCA’s core filing and find it to be without merit. Mahindra has a historic relationship and agreements with FCA and its predecessors that go back seventy years. The relationship began in the 1940’s with the original agreement with Willys and continues to this day, with the most recent agreement executed with FCA (then Chrysler Group LLC) in 2009. Our actions, products, and product distribution (including ROXOR) both honor the legacy of the relationship and the terms of our agreements with FCA. Mahindra has been co-existing with FCA (and the Jeep brand) for over 25 years in India and in many other countries. The ROXOR is a derivative of Mahindra vehicles distributed in those markets. Based on these agreements and our history, we believe that FCA’s claims are baseless and Mahindra is well within its rights to both manufacture and distribute the ROXOR off-road vehicle.

[@johnfitbyfaithnet]

I hope you are planning to appeal the recent decision

Roxor is so tough that for few decades it used to serve in the Indian Army and is battle tested in the 1971 India Pakistan war (Bangladesh Liberation war)

[@TheBinoyVudi]

The original jeeps were crazy good

[@kosfactor]

All the negative comments are justified given whats on offer, but drive it once if you are into jeeping. These guys have been making the so called real jeep for more years than the real jeep company, so i guess they know a few things about how to take care of the basics rather than give you heated seats and steering wheel. All the remote and inaccessible places rely on a mahindra (a lot like toyota in other markets). The tow rating appears to be downgraded for regulatory reasons. The heavy weight is the result of reinforcements done on the real jeep chassis to make it work in India, the torture these things endure in our plantation trail everyday made me a believer. I hope they have preserved the mechanicals for reliability.

[@kosfactor]

Odious Ktenology I'm a regular Joe who happens to own three of their vehicles, I venture into remote parts of the country where vehicle dependability is a must, you will see Mahindra vehicles in such places in India much like Toyota elsewhere.

[@MRBILL-dr2wr]

I wouldn't say it's expensive because of the price tag. What makes it expensive is the fact that it only does 45 miles an hour. And it's illegal to get in it and drive it on the street that's what you get for $16,000 plus . And when you think about it that way it sounds pretty shity.

[@wun1gee]

There are already aftermarket flashes for the ECU that lift the electronically-limited speed. One video has them getting it to almost 80mph on a 1/4 mile dyno, while making over 100 horsepower at the rear wheels. The little 2.5L turbo diesel is massively detuned in the ECU. It's got so much more potential than it's realizing because of the electronic detune. If you want to drive it on the street, go find an old rusting CJ, grab the VIN plate, put the VIN plate on the Roxor and register it as a CJ. Problem solved.

[@silent3396]

Do search for retail of other non-street legal offering you will be surprised

[@aaronbehindbars]

For the same money as the higher end side by sides currently on the market, I would much rather have the Roxor. I work at a powersports dealer that sells everything and these Mahindras are built much stronger than anything else. It is hard to ignore the ability to spend less money on an older CJ that you can drive on the road, but there is a lot to be said about it being brand new, with a warranty, and having that turbo diesel.

[@lightninsadventures2692]

chris spencer there’s several already. There’s a black LE at motor sports nation in Waterford, and a black one as well as a red one at Higgins power sports in Barre MA which isn’t a long drive away. They even have a good dirt trail you can test it on.. I know this because I did it.. just a warning, as a Connecticut resident myself I opted not to buy a Roxor specifically because of the difficulty for us to use them. That is if you intend to use it legally..If you have a large piece of private property go for it, but if you are are used to hauling UTVs out of state to use them you may want to do some research about your preferred trails.. The vast majority of Massachusetts and New Hampshire UTV trails don’t allow the Roxor because it is over the weight limit for a UTV registration. And unfortunately you can’t bring it on a lot of the OHV or jeep trails because it cannot be registered as a street legal vehicle either.. EDIT... motorsports Nation Waterford now has a Grey one as well.

Adrian Wevers Back in the 50s, Mahindra had official license from Willys Overland to manufacture these great vehicles. The problem in the West is that, every brand is sold & purchased so many times that, every new buyer (manufacturer) dilutes the original & with that, dilutes the spirit of the original.

The ROXOR needs to fit northern climates for all seasons use. Suitable for off road and can be driven on road in Ontario, Canada. More for local or short trip driving. Not sure how good the radio is but it would be a nice added feature if it can do what a typical AM/FM radio can do and that means bringing in clear radio signal. Keep it simple, user friendly and minimize the bling. Not fond of bright colors but olive green, navy grey, and/or camo.

The High and low speed for each gear was amazing , low was so low you could let it idle in gear and it would climb straight up a mountain, you could get out and walk next to it on flat land.

[@abiezz]

Love the review. Roxor is slowly gaining market share.....

[@curioushooter]

This vehicle has a lot of potential I think. For one IT ISN'T A WRETCHED AMC or Chrysler product. I see these UTVs out there with four seats that cost 8-10 grand easy, and this thing is actually useful, not a toy. It has a real liquid-cooled and full-pressure lubrication diesel engine in it, not some aircooled splash-lubed gasoline burner. It also has a real geared standard transmission with a real suspension. It is basically the Willys WWII Jeep which was the best vehicle to ever carry that name. Every CJ I've ever had the misfortune of being around has been a non-stop problem, mostly because they were poorly engineered/poorly manufactured cars when they were new. Add in a few decades of decay and you get a hunk of junk that sits in your yard and provides an excellent rabbit habitat but not much else. Wranglers are outrageously expensive, and it doesn't take long when you start working on one to realize they are absolute garbage, especially if you have one with those awful Renix electrical systems. The AMC I-6 was an ok engine, but it wont be able to deliver the low speed torque or efficiency of this modern Mahindra diesel. An ag-model with a pto would BE the finest vehicle for pulling a hay baler or hay wagons around. It would also make a great vehicle for a rancher or grazier.

Great review, thank you. Overall they're great, but yep, they do ride a little rough, they are speed limited, but they're not meant for flying down the freeway LOL. Funny they don't really cost much more than today's ATV's and UTV's. If I were in the market this is what I'd go with, the manual transmission and transfer case, the diesel engine, solid axles, no CVT, exactly what I want...and if they do come out with a version that has a PTO, I'd be much more apt to purchase.

[@Dirtkid98505]

Does the diesel have emissions equipment or is it unregulated since its an off road vehicle?

For all the street legal comments I bet the cops just think it's a CJ. Put farm plates on it, an orange triangle and use it on back roads.

Samurai is 79.9" wb (18" shorter), 60.6" wide (1.4" narrower) and curb weight just over 2000lbs (1000 lbs lighter) Roxor is way way closer to a CJ-7/YJ

[@NuclearSandwich7]

tommy harrell wasn’t meant to be a completely specific comparison. Both are relatively the same size, both have similar suspension set ups, both use exclusively a manual transmission, and both have anemic horsepower outputs. The samurai is just far more economical.

[@oliviersavard8676]

Lux You have the choice: either you pay less, either you get it built locally. If you wanna pay less, then it's going to be an imported thing built in India. If you want it to be built locally in America, then you're going to be paying more. Thing is, if it would have been imported and built in India, people would complain that it's made in India and that it's been made by underpaid people, and when they finally get products to be built in America, then they complain that it's expensive. You can't have both. And, to be fair, this is very reasonnably priced. It's probably going to last very long, it's actually new, and it can be beaten a lot more than a TJ without suffering damage. I mean, a decent CJ-5/CJ-7 is probably going to cost about the same, and while it will be road legal, it won't be new, have a warranty, or be as capable to deal with trouble as much as that thing. You have to remember that a CJ-5/CJ-7 is already 40 years old.

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

Tuatha DeDanaan what state? The closest I've ever heard or seen is someone trying to classify theirs as a replica or kit car to be road legal. Didn't work. Some small towns have ordinances that let you drive UTVs within city limits but that is it. New motorcycles have emissions requirements too, but considering the Roxor has 4 wheels and it's total weight, not going to happen. You also have to have at least liability insurance on an on road vehicle to be street legal. Don't forget about the Roxor's 45mph max speed too. At the $15k asking price you can get a restored CJ that is actually road legal and emissions exempt and can be registered cheaply as a classic car. Why not just go that route? Every other option for the Roxor is a pipe dream, it won't be legal on all city, county, and interstates within your state.

[@Offshore1977]

Street legal in certain regions of the country. Same way that golf carts/side by sides are street legal in certain areas.

[@gracilism]

In Arizona you can tag your side by side with a simple "road legal" kit.

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

gracilism Arizona laws consider them as off road golf carts basically. You have to get all the parts lights, horn, windshield...etc. Plus you have to get insurance and pay registration fees. I don't really see why someone would go to the expense for limited use. But some people do this, even more cut some corners and when caught pay hefty fines. No insurance is a $500 fine and a suspended license for 3 months in AZ.

[@kealiialoha1]

I think the savings grace for Roxor would be a new powerplant for the Cj5. Weight is close between the two but Americans have tons of replacement parts for body, suspension and drive train upgrades. We need a great Cj5 engine drop in,
