According to the report, the company has also brought a new front end to avoid conflict of interest with the Jeep brand’s design language in the United States.

The Mahindra Roxor is expected to be available with accessories including heavy duty winches, light bars, and off-road wheels. It will also come with a cup holders on the central console while the gauge cluster will be mounted in the middle. The Roxor is a CKD product in the United States and the kit is actually supplied from India.
