Mahindra made serious waves recently with the launch of the Mahindra Roxor, a machine that combines UTV and automotive components into something unlike anything available in the UTV market. If you think it looks like an old Willys Jeep, you’re right. That’s not an accident. Mahindra has held a license since 1947 to build and market vehicles that look like the old Willys Jeeps. They build, sell and market these machines in other parts of the world, just not North America.
The Roxor, however, is something all new that is a 100-percent American-assembled vehicle coming off a production line in Auburn Hills, Mich. The Roxor comes not from the ag side of Mahindra, but its automotive division, which until now had no presence in North America. It represents a bold move on the part of Mahindra, too. It built an impressive new factory just to produce the Roxor and already have sourcing, shipping and warehousing networks set up in Michigan. Mahindra expects the Roxor to do big things.
They copied the spicer transfer case and the Dana axles from the original CJ2 and made the rest of the jeep nearly the same size - the diesel engine is nearly the exact same HP and Torque as one offered in the Jeep in the early 1960s (extremely rare). Some the suspension parts will even transfer between the two.
They can't make it street legal because it has no provisions for airbags and probably can't pass crash tests.
I'm wondering if the body would fit on an original frame - I know where a brand new Mahindra body (complete with seats and roll bar) is coming up for sale.
