If they made this street legal would blow Jeep (Fiat) out of the water Jeep would go bankrupt. This is what a Jeep owner really wants myself included
I drove one the other day, very smooth and comfy!
What?😂
Oh boy! Ranchers are going to have some fun with this one.👍🇺🇸
OMG - 'grew up with dads' 46 Willys CJ2 , and this thing is vibrating my soul !
If you look online.. Mahindra told Jeep they wouldn't sell any Mahindra Jeeps in the U.S. 'automotive' market.. so.. they are selling this as a UTV. I'm willing to bet that with some tweaking, that 45mph limitation can be overcome easily, and with the addition of a windshield of some sort, and a 'borrowed' license plate from one of your jeeps.. you could be buzzing down the road in this thing in no time, and no one would be the wiser. Also, any place that allows UTV's on the roads, like small towns in Texas and Eastern Washington, for example, you could use this 'on the road'. As far as making it legal on the road everywhere, two words... 'CRASH TESTING'. This thing is basically a diesel willy's, and it probably won't even get close to passing today's safety standards for on road vehicles in the U.S. Toy for the rich? hmm... I don't know.. I know I'd buy one and make a few mods to use it on small town roads.. as an around town roustabout in inclement weather, with a soft top, and a windshield, especially in small rural towns, this thing would be epic.
MediaMatters IsMyCockHolster Thar can do ~160kph. May be it is possible for roxor too!
When you talk with americans, say it in mph not kph!
The top model "road legal" one comes at around 12k dollars in India. They are called Mahindra Thar. The stripped down ones were used by the military in limited numbers. Nowadays only off road enthusiasts use them. But they are a treat while off roading. And yeah, they have more "Jeep" DNA compared to the modern wranglers. They are simple and can be cheaply maintained and repaired with ease. Mahindra should rather sell the Thar instead of Roxor. Let the yanks modify it to their liking.
Tom come to punjab. The people here are very rich but they don’t give any attention to Merc or BMW. THATS just for garage. They still love it.
12 is base price
Roxor is same as Thar. the reason why it is not street legal in USA is that it does not fulfil safety regulations of USA. So even if Thar is sold in USA it will also not be street legal in USA
7000 of these already sold in the USA as of now. They are looking to set up a 3rd plant to meet the demand. Mahindra is just testing the waters in the US with this machine. The plan for future expansion in the US in the coming years consists of more street legal vehicles based on the Scorpio and Bolero platforms.
Without it being street legal...it will become nothing more than an upscale Polaris. It is a shame, too - because I would be the first to buy one if it was street legal. I don't want a full-size jeep, and this hits the spot in every respect except that one major strike against it. Just a novelty at this point.
In TN you can get a class 1 ohv tag and you're street legal, I did my sxs. You just need turn signal, horn,mirrors, parking brake and tag light. cost $145 for the kit on amazon and 2hrs of my time to install, the dealer wanted $950 to do the same thing. lol
Ben Marko
And a little more power, but thus reminds me of what a Jeep was and should be.
Headlights taillights turn signals horn need tag and insurance . This is legal in Alabama but I wouldn’t go interstate until you turn up the engine.
It shouldn't be too hard to make it street legal in many states, I agree though it would be nice if it were like that from the start but that's sure to drive up the price
.....it's the same size as a "full-size" Jeep though
Diesel, manual trans, disc brakes...SOLD
can't use on street-worthless
$15,000us / $19,000 for a side by side? Are they mental?.??..!!!!!!!!!
Chris.M〉 you obviously don't know of those insane $20k baja side-by-side.
wastegate WTF how is it useless. Ever been hunting or camping. Ultimate outdoor vehicle
Vortec 3501999 if it was street legal and you didn’t have to tow it on a trailer, then yes ultimately ultimate.
I think Mahindra should sell the Indian version, Thar with 2.5L CRDe engine, 105 bhp, Air condition. Cost $14k in India.
the jeep fca will get pissed.
The main thing it has over a Jeep, is it is as narrow as a Can Am Defender side by side. It is a true trail machine, something a Jeep is too wide to do.
Being a Diesel engine, it should last much longer than a traditional side by side. Also, it is a bit longer for more leg room and back storage. I like it.
Street legal should not be confused with freeway legal. In some states you can plate a golf cart. So for a hunting rig that might have to go on a country road occasionally, I'm sure it'll be just fine.
It can't be Street legal in u.s.
REASON= it has steel bumpers, no air bags, not sure about abs , one thing is for sure that body is much stronger than average cars.
Pat massey i know you r right, in many comments people asking or regretting that its not road legal , so i gave the reason.
Depends on the state. It wouldnt be hard to make it street legal in Arizona.
My sxs is legal with a class 1 ohv tag in tn, we drive it everywhere.
Tyrone Pearson
I daily drive an original Willys CJ2A. I dont need no local ohv tax stamp. I can register it any state in the USA with 0 problems
Dont be surprised when the legal team from Chrysler gets your special ohv tax stamp axed in the near future. I dont see them taking this Mahindra thing laying down.
That's why they don't want you driving it on the street, it'll destroy today's cheap ass plastic cars.
For the americans, this is your good old cj5, but with a diesel tractor engine. The combination should make it incredibly tough and basically use it as a truck, tractor, 4x4 etc.
It actually has shared mechanical parts with the CJ3, so it doesn't directly compare to any specific American Jeep.
I think Mahindra is fooling every one as Mahindra is no longer able to sell its MM550 and Thar DI (Being a BS 3) so it is selling it's old and rejected Thar DI and MM550 XD as Roxer to Americans. Nice trick MnM. ;)
Rahul Bhardwaj , I think it is a honest attempt while they are developing vehicles that can clear the stringent NA regulations, those insights will help then develop better vehicle for developing countries as well. This vehicle is a bare bones utility vehicle, it's Jeep back to it's roots.
Kos Factor Or
....they can just invest a bit more into safety equipment and gain more stockholders to fund their factory in Michigan. Mahindra is cheaper than a 711 store owner......
Harris Naseem Well, wrangler jeepers take the doors off, the top off , add a lift kit and huge tires, what safety are we looking at there?
Wow... so, I just need to fab doors, a clip on plexiglass window, a soft top, grab a license plate off one of my jeeps, and then... use thing thing around town while getting 32 mpg. ON IT!
That's exactly what I was thinking
.....
I heard rumors a cj-5 stock windshield will bolt up. If true, and more parts crossover, this thing could be awesome.
Alright people, its not street legal because its marketed as a side by side not an SUV...rather carry all, there's no such registration as SUV.
The cost on one of these is 1/2 of the cost of a new base model Jeep Wrangler.
This is a bit updated version of the 1940's Willy's CJ3B, it is a Jeep.
The 45mph limit is actually the original speed the Willy's would go...its all in the gearing.
I think there should be a class of cars and trucks that would be allowed on city and county roads but not turnpikes or interstates. And maybe they could be exempt from having a dozen airbags, etc.
I just saw an entire truckload of these today parked for the evening. Got out and took pics as I've never heard of these before but they immediately caught my eye as they look EXACTLY like one of my old CJ-5's (or I should say CJ-7)These are bare bones. Most had half tops or 3/4 tops. Some had no top. All had cages with net doors/safari doors. I gotta say, 15k isn't a bad price. By the way, I bought my first new Jeep CJ-5 in 1978 for the whopping cost of $6,200. The only option's I added on were the 304 V8, the passenger seat, rag top and cigar lighter. They also came out with the option of having no rear tailgate that year and I went for that also as the spare was then rear mounted instead of side mounted.
I’d take this over any other side by side anyway. Now if it could only be made street legal.
You can drive side-by-sides on roads in some states so long as they're licensed.
tman008 I thought there's a process you can go through with the DMV to make stuff like this street legal? If you can do it with a dirt bike by adding mirrors and a head light then why not this?
I licensed my CanAm Maverick side by side so it is street legal.. As long as you have street legal tires, windshield wipers (I put a hand operated wiper on mine), turn signals, horn, rear view mirror and insurance you can get a license.
Like others have said. State by state. In arizona we can make quads street legal. And you can ride them on the streets in havasu or parker, but as soon as you cross in to california they'll impound it and fine you. Even with a license plate as good as a motorcycle plate, cali wont honor it
Here in Florida it is illegal as well
ഏതെങ്കിലും malayalikalundengill oru like 😁😁
Damn, I gotta get one of these when I win the lottery!
You'll be able to drive it on the road in AZ. I'm sure you could mod this thing to the max to make it absolutely unstoppable. I think it's pretty cool. I'd want to take the governor off, though.
Make it street legal and I would buy one...
John Smith it won’t ruggedly reliable due to the shity emissions regulation.
Utah it can be plated as a sxs. get your state to change its regulations.
Mitch and Cassie Shepherd same in FL. I might just buy it without the engine and swap in a small RS cummins 😆😆😆
I purchased a Mahindra tractor years ago. It broke IN HALF in the first week of use. You can have 'em.
Man if they offered one for around 22 to 25 and modeled after the actual Willy OD green with the star on the side with a spare tire they would sell a lot
Hopefully the management don't run that into the ground like they did the quadski they were all working on around the corner in Auburn hills.
In this state, if it has rear-view mirrors, a horn, hi/lo headlights, a license plate light, tail light, and a brake light, it can be licensed for street use. Turn signals and windshield wipers are not required. Check YOUR state rules!
If it does indian roads it can do us roads easly
igaerick lasrado we have 2.5 l 105 HP CRDI powered one called the Thar.
I don't know why Mahindra is selling an outdated model to the US. It's got a well mannered better equipped bigger Mahindra Thar. Albeit doesn't have a airbags in 'em yet. They do have fiber bumpers now.
US roads regulations are different. U need air bag, abs ETC. this is a jeep multiutility vehicle and not SUV or comfort vehicle.
Not street legal.
People in India use only Mahindra jeep and they are here for 100 years. Trust is that much. No complaints.
It’s funny how people are complaining about the price and it not being road legal here in the US. This thing is priced comparatively to many other side by sides in the States, and those aren’t street legal either. Where I live people drop 15k and up on these things all day long. I see some in the paper hitting 20k well equipped. Plus this thing has a freakin Diesel engine with a 5 speed manual and clutch on the floor!!!! I know they’ll be a big hit in the southern states.
Why is everyone complaining about it not being street legal? Seems to me that's an issue with the place you live, I can drive a side by side, atv, dirt dirtbike etc wherever I want on the streets where I live. I can hope in the side by side, go right down town with the misses for dinner, and drive home. All you need is offroad insurance and a blue plate.
Not street legal... disappointed. I was wondering the other days why they make cars so complicated. I think if someone made a basic pickup truck all electronics out of the picture and plastics gone it would sell well!
It'll never happen thanks to the bullshit safety feature requirements in today's vehicles. This is why you see so many older trucks back out on the road, people are fed up with all the electronic shit and want a vehicle that's going to get them where they're going without emptying their wallets in nonsense electronic failures and they want something they can open the hood on and actually fix themselves and when you open the hood they want to see the engine not a bunch of cheap ass plastic covering the engine and a bunch of wiring.
Totally agree! Been saying that for a few years, sometime down the road I think there will be a serious demand for that.
If this was street legal I think it could have a chance of being popular, its never going to sell at that price point and not be road ready.
People buy ATV's and UTV's all the time for the same or higher prices that aren't street legal either, so the street legal bullshit that keeps being thrown out all over the place about these vehicles is just a sorry ass excuse by the ill informed consumers.
William Todd the reason why everybody is saying these won't sell at that price is their are way better options for that kind of money. Go to the Polaris or any otther well know company web site and take a look, the nicest things these jeeps offer is they look cool and they are diesel. Other more well known companies side by sides eather offer more suspension travel, locking diffs, higher ground clearance etc that makes them better suited for trail ridinging. If I was a betting man I'd say the upper crust of America won't even notice this product, they have the wealth to go to Yamaha or Polaris or any other well known brand and buy a name brand product with a proven off road side by side track record for reliability, warranty cust care and parts availability for a person who keeps this for more then a year or two. If they want to dominate this crowded segment they need something with lots of options and it has to be a price leader and it needs to be capable, after it makes a name for its self then the prices can start to creep north, but to make your first product so expensive compaired to everything else on the market nobody is going to buy this unproven off road buggy. This is only my point of view and my opinion.
Polaris doesn't offer anything even remotely close to what the Roxor is. None of the ATV/UTV brand companies offer anything like it.
Have you looked at ATV/UTV warranties? Most are a year if you are lucky. Roxor is supposedly 2 years.
Tons of options for the Roxor, all you need is a CJ3B. This is being marketed as a utility vehicle not a fly down a trail go kart which is what the RZR and many other UTV's have turned into. Even the Rangers are becoming more of a sports machine than utility.
Really wish though that Roxor would offer many of the options in the configuration.
I've had a few UTV's and a few ATV's, and hardly used the 4WD, and locking diff in any of them, found they did pretty dang good in 2WD or limited slip 4WD...I've had them out in some pretty nasty locations too, and was amazed where they would go in 2WD and just regular 4WD without locked diffs. The only UTV/ATV I had was a Yamaha Rhino and a Yamaha Grizzly that both had locked rear diffs all the time, I hated them both. The Polaris Ranger was a good compromise with the turf mode allowing an open rear differential for most work and even a lot of trail use.
Would I buy a Roxor, maybe if I were rich, but for the prices of ATV's, UTV's, and this Roxor I'll keep my Bronco 2.
Excellent machine. Some people are missing the point. ITS a side by side for off road. Simple as that. I’ll place my order for one now.
frame and drivetrain are worth the 15k alone.
I think they missed the mark on price. How these things sell will depend on aftermarket support and how big of tires those axles hold up to.
It seems to me for that kind of money you could easily get something built that is quite a bit more trail-worthy and fun to drive like a Samurai or Sidekick. That thing looks like it was designed to be upgraded... which begs the question of why didn't they build it where it should be in the first place?
If they could get it down to $10,000 for the base model. I'd buy one. It would be a nice alternative to an actual tractor since it has suspension...It would be a little more fun on the back 40 when I'm not using it for work too. By the way. I LOVE that they put a diesel in it!!!
AM and FM radio, 45 mph, wow! Has cupholders?
To all the people asking why it isn’t street legal? Emissions!! It has a tractor motor in it and no after treatment!!
Not to mention 1940s safety equipment
Now the problem with making it street legal would be the pollution limits with diesel and additions for crash test which would probably would go against the theme of keeping the Jeep simple.
Is it curry powered ?
United States of Federal Regulation and what not. This thing is perfect! I wish it was street legal.
must be governed. 45 mph with 3:75 gears makes no sense. Even with 62 hp. I still want one!
Travis Kendrick I'm sure there is a way to get rid of the governor
Probably not ..we have jeeps here by Mahindra and the 2.5l diesel with 63 hp just gets us to 90 kmph if lucky which is 45mph. But the engine noise and vibration are horrific there. The things are notoriously underpowered. Great torque though. The common rail injected version is better and can reach around 70 mph I guess. But I don't think you buy something like this to cruise in the highway in the first place though!
SuperRazor47 Actually, the Thar DI can cross 100 kmph (62 miles per hour) by quite a margin but you have to wring its neck good. The CRDe with the 100 HP engine hits a top speed of 150 kmph (93 mph) without too much trouble. 45 mph (72 kilometres per hour) is too low. There is certainly a speed governor in the American version.
FodderRev hmm.. I've never driven the crde actually..thank you for the info. I have reached 100 once on a Di engine though. Made me swear not to do it ever again actually 😂
SuperRazor47 Ha ha! Yeah, the DI is not comfortable at high speeds at all. That engine is only for low speed load movement. I have wanted one for quite some time because of its back to basics bare bones make. But after taking a ride (yet to drive it myself) in a post 2015 CRDe, I was quite impressed and felt that it can actually be a daily driver. I suggest you test drive one but make sure it is the post 2015 model with the plastic front bumper and modern interiors. Noise and vibes are fairly acceptable and it pulls very smoothly to higher speeds. I have a feeling you will hate the DI after that!
Mahindra Roxor is an Repolished Version of Mahindra Thar bases of Jeep CJ-7 Parts bin and think Mahindra did clever job by selecting this product which is essencially Old Jeep so not a big issues on maintaining and modifying the vehicle, Iam sure that u can swap any part from Jeep CJ series to this
Dimensionally it is a cj3,. The cj 5&7 are larger.
Chad Kennedy we buy your Harley's the same way bruh..
Bwahahahah,....um no.
omkar sheelavanth Yes but why should we pay 20k for a car which is 6k in india?
Bolt on some flat fenders oh heck I still have a cj2a tub
Do you buy these at your local 7-11 or quickie mart ? And do they come in slushy colors ? Or scratch and sniff paint with lead in it ?
Wow...It's tough indian brand mahindra roxor
If it comes with a title and appropriate lights and signals it'll be on the road in ohio. You can take a home built woods buggy and have it weighed, registered, apply for title and get plates on it in ohio. Done it several times over the years.
This 2.5 diesel engine with same power is capable of 80MPH in india, but in US, it's electronically controlled to 45MPH
~70mph
Happy to see indian brands in usa
No dout ..the average side by side his for about 10 to 20 grand ..this mini jeep with the diesel and 5 speed is way better than any side by side ,except the razor and other high performance rides but for all around work and trail this is great .I got 460 acres in WY and plan on retiring there ,this will be perdect for hunting and getting around the property..need one in camo please
Gear ratio options? Can the axles handle 35's or 37's? Didn't answer the questions that mattered to make this a series off roader.
Dana 44 style
Ever since I got into jeeps I thought jeep should make something like this that's tough basic and cheaper than the new Wrangler well this is a dream come true
And yes an older cj2a will be cheaper but this is a new one that you can buy today
I wish they would sell that little 2.5 diesel as a crate engine package. My CJ5 needs a diesel ASAP
It's super cool but the cost of our toys is just way out of control these days and they're only getting more and more expensive.
They'll forever keep increasing in price as long as people are dumb enough to keep paying those ridiculous prices for toys. Originally the ATV was built for farm & ranch work, not for sports or racing, they were far more affordable back then...once the rich people decided they needed them to play with the prices have spiked.
Is this going to be launched in india any time sooner???
Only thing it’s missing is PTO!
Although I’m sure they’d be asking for problems with that gear ratio but
That would really be awesome!
It already has a PTO port. Shaft & other fittings coming later. It's the good ole' D18 TC.
sandyx Airsoft
Nice!
Thanks
So why not restore a real one with that money?
Ojb 1959 or just buy a nice used Jeep
Dan P: I gotcha, i guess if your doing a lot of trial riding then it would be cool. I guess I basically based my build off a rock crawler.
You'd spend waaay more money to build a Willys and have it turn out like the Mahindra. Go price a Cummins R2.8...Dang right? $9,000 just for the Diesel engine!
Greg Huston He said 4bt not the R2.8.....different engines. 4bt shares same pump & turbo as the old 12 valve 6bt. Can be made to produce some serious hp in a small 4 cyl engine.
It was design in USA, lighter ,modern turbo engine more reliable than those dinosaur American petrol guzzled crap cars . And also go to college you uneducated hick and sturdy real queen's English , real mathematics ,real engineering courses. Greetings from England
WOW !!! Walt for the Hemi swap !!!
It'll be a bomb
Like the look and the concept. However, you can still to this day get an “original” Jeep shipped to the states in a box! Just like we shipped them to Europe. All but a motor. We all have ideas on that don’t we.... 😱😱😱
I'll keep my 1986 Jeep CJ7 that I restored to new condition and still have less money in it than the price of these and I can go 80 on the freeway street legal.
I'm betting a load of old Jeep vin numbers and registrations are going to suddenly be worth a lot more.
What does it mean beside airbags to be street legal
I plan on making mine street legal, if a side by side can be legally made to be street legal. This shouldn't be a problem
Mahindra is good
It’s awesome. Everything is really good on it. Why can’t it be on road? It should go faster than 45mph. If it could go on road I’d pay $19k all day for one but it’s ridiculous to buy one that can’t go anywhere.
Is it available in India??
I don’t get it. Why are you calling it a side by side?
Who wants to shell out that much money on something that is not Street legal. Not sold. Its just a toy for the rich. Top speed 45MPH, that's about the speed and utility of an oversized golf cart, with just 62 Hp.
You realize that's effectively the same Jeep that was in WW2, right? If you live in the country, many ordinances let you take such things on the road.
Sign me up I'll take it
LOL I'm sure everyone was saying the same thing when the polaris RZR came out years ago... I think they sold a few of those
MrGrey: lol right!
You realize that WW II Jeeps had less horsepower and a top speed that wasn’t any more than that.
Uh, there's a reason that CJs still aren't sold in this country - you can by a base wrangler for $5K more than the Roxor that is seriously more capable off road and can ride on road. I don't really see the point. The diesel is nice though. I wonder how they can sell it here - those Willy's licenses are usually just for their own country....
LOL, what do you think the Roxor is? Its actually a Jeep (Willy's) CJ3B...many parts are exactly the same as the CJ3B....its far more than a side by side, its actually an old 1940's Willy's Carry All.
U do not know the utility vehicle specifications and ushould ride it and find out if any such vehicle at that rate. Wrangler basic model is far below this one.
Where are you buying Jeep Wranglers for less than $15k new?
Sir mai har video Dekh Kar comment box me likh chuka k 9 seater bolero plus veriant Ka review karo but koi bhi nahi banate sir please aap to karo please aur usme thar veriant Ka engine ata hai ya order per possible hai kya usme 3rd row front facing order per possible hai kya usme AC hai ya nahi 9 seater veriant ki kuch bhi information Nahi hai UA-cam pe Google site pe
Unhe hindi नहीं आती bhai
In Montana you can get a street tag for your ATV and UTV or you will be able to drive this on the street no problem.
But did he say 2.5 liter? And only 62hp? I understand it’s a diesel, but that just seems really low?
What would you say about a 1960s 2.3l american tractor engine that produced 38hp? This one is a mutation of that.
I think this is a test model. How much interest is out there. If they can make a 20-25 thousand dollars road worthy version . It could sell. Or you can buy 40-50 thousand dollars jeep. A Charger or a Dart. Get my point. It would give people options that are not out there now.
It would be fun driving around at ‘40’s style speed for awhile. However, I know me. If I’m getting a vehicle that is not street legal, flying around on a Polaris Razor like my ass is on fire would put a bigger smile on my face!
Looks like a great toy to have along side my TJ.
It’s not even legal in most states to be a trail legal sxs. It exceeds the maximum weight
This is a gimik vanity product, not meant for mass market but to advertise the brand name in a segment ... we all know normal people won't buy it cause they don't have use for it
And I love the fact that rear view mirror is optional 😂😂😂
just like my 1957 ford, turn signals, brake lights, rearview mirror, visors, inside mirror, cigarette lighter, heater, and front disc brakes all were optional
In US and Canada, lot of farmers and majority live outside highway or city limits and many will buy it.
I had one of these in 1986, but mine said "CJ-7" and ran on gasoline.
45mph . . . My M38 gets 42mph top speed and that was built in 51'. All that time has passed by, and Ma-Hinderer can't get the new "Jay Double EEE EEE PeeP" to go over 45mph ?
What a waste, I'm just gonna go out and buy a CJ5 instead. P.S. A CJ5 frame is 3x stronger than this scrap.
Mayor Fuglycool
Retro-styled side-by-side. I've seen it all.
During World War 2, Jeep gave mahindra the license to built jeep because US soldiers who bought willys jeep with them in Afganistan couldn't take them back to US. So they gave mahindra the license to make and sell these jeeps to common people. That's how first jeep came into India.
Mahindra & Mahindra has obtained a perpetual license from Willys-Overland (presently a part of Chrysler) in 1952 to build and sell Jeeps in India by paying a royalty. As per the license, M&M are free to sell Jeeps in any country after 1988, but they can't use the Jeep name, Jeep model names and the iconic 7-slated Jeep grille.
I wonder if you could drop an original willys body on it. Then you could get registration to drive it on the street.
Yes, that's what the Roxor is actually based on, very closely based on as a matter of fact the running gear is pretty much a CJ3B.
2.5L turbo makes 62hp? Did I heard right?
Kinda pisses me off how the host talks about this thing like it's something new to market when it's just an old CJ. They were street legal back in the day. They just aren't anymore.
Is it legal in costa rica ???
You can buy A LOTTTT if jeep at $15,000, tho
New Jeep's start at 27k plus dealer add ons realistic street price is north of 30k so this is a little less than half price.
I’m talking about a cj, which this is supposedly a copy of.. can get a cj, yj, or even tj for like $5000 and then spend $10000 on a cummins diesel swap.
Cummins 4BT I assume? Those aren't cheap, and if you can't do the work yourself you are talking $20k+ for that swap LOL. It would be quite fun though for sure.
Sold.
hmm what's the bolt pattern?
Took a look briefly at them locally. They looked kinda anemic compared to an old CJ. Costs more than a Wrangler Sport new in 1999 when I could purchase one at invoice price. I do like the idea of diesel. And they had some cool features. But man 17k without a full top and super slow top speed turned me off.
Yo Mahindra is rocking in us too.
I don't see how this thing will compete with modern UTVs. They have better suspension, ground clearance, and more power. It's a cool idea but it's totally out classed by sport UTVs.
Is it road legal..bro...
so it’s a sxs which will get you killed or seriously injured after a roll over...
Put a cheap set of universal turn, signals better diff, and 3 point seat belts from LMC of your choice, and then all you got to do is let a state trooper drive it at their troop and bam, you got permission to get it registered...in louisiana
They need to make this street legal. And 8 speed automatic and will be the perfect First car.
2.5l diesel, turbo, only 60hp??? isn't that a bit too low? you could easily get that much power, from that displacement, without a turbo and make the engine a lot more reliable and easy to service, but what do I know!
It's that guy who used to be on AutoGuide.
they will sell a ton of them, especially after they do a comparison to a Polaris.
Do you think the mounts will accept a Hemi, Dana 60 axles, and 37" tires?
Really! Lets see, Polaris Razor 1000 XP : 110 HP / 13inches of Ground Clearance / 76 MPH top speed / 64 Inches Wide / All wheel disc brakes / 18 inch suspension travel / And right now with rebates $15,900. I think not. And I'm not even a Polaris guy.
See the power, torque, cc, body etc and no one can provide this rate.
Side-x-sides can be street legal. Even quads are street legal if they have the appropriate lights and registration. So this is a tractor. But, wait, you can drive tractors on the street too... so this is useless.
