Why are there so manu Roxors for sale of late? Are people losing interest, or is there more to the story. I take a look at this phenomenon and you can join me as we look at some of the reasons why so many Roxors seem to be coming to market in recent weeks.

The Roxor is based on the design of the Jeep CJ of the 1960s, and Willys CJ of the 1940s. Mahindra was granted a license in 1947 to use the Jeep and CJ trademarks, and Willys originally shipped complete vehicle kits directly to Mahindra. Over time, the vehicles were localized in India. The body design and a significant portion of its mechanical architecture remain largely untouched. In the US off-road UTV market, it has a roll-over protection system (ROPS), which creates the upper body structure and is attached directly to the fully boxed frame. It has a single gauge speedometer on all variants, with digital fuel, odometer, and tachometer gauges.

The Roxor is powered by the Mahindra M2DICR 2.5 L (150 cu in) direct-injected turbodiesel engine that Mahindra claims produces 63 bhp (47 kW) @ 3,200 and 144 lb⋅ft (195 N⋅m)Nm torque at 1,400 rpm. The 18.6:1 compression ratio turbodiesel engine powered the Thar M2DICR and several other utility Mahindra vehicles excluding tractors. Starting 2019 model year Roxor, it is electronically limited to 55 mph (89 km/h), and 45 mph (72 km/h) in the 2018 model to ensure safe off-highway use. Mahindra says the Roxor's 12-US-gallon (45 l; 10.0 imp gal) fuel tank allows a range of 350 miles (560 km) and consumes 35 miles per US gallon (6.7 L/100 km; 42 mpg‑imp).

The NGT520 transmission was designed to military specifications. It has a ct-iron housing with a direct-mounted shift system. All of them forward gears are engaged with single-cone brass synchronizers. The simple gear lubrication system is efficient enough under driving conditions to allow limited flat towing of the vehicle over the road. The gears are helical involute. The dual-offset cast-iron transfer case is also based on early military specified driveline requirements. The 2.46:1 low range allows low crawl speeds over uneven terrain and steep grades. The leaf-sprung straight axles are of a legacy design close to Dana 44 with 3.73:1 final drive ratio. Since mid-2018, a 6L50 automatic transmission sourced from Punch Powerglide in Strasbourg, France, is offered as an option on the Mahindra Roxor. The transfer case has a plastic/rubber plug covering a PTO for potential stationery accessories. Both the front and rear differentials are open, allowing easier turning on hard surfaces, but power is sent to the wheel with less traction on loose or off-road surfaces. Several aftermarket suppliers offer traction locking differentials for both front and rear differentials, sending equal power to both wheels for greater traction off-road. Additionally, horsepower output can be increased by retuning the ECU that controls the fuel/air mixture. Several aftermarket tuners will retune the ECU by any additional performance modifications undertaken, as in a less restrictive intake or exhaust. Intercoolers for the turbocharger are also available aftermarket, cooling the fuel/air mix for greater density and increased power. In Asian markets, the Mitsubishi 2.5L diesel motor has been modified to produce more than 200 hp.

The Roxor is available in two and four-passenger versions and with either a manual or automatic transmission. It has 16-in steel or aluminum wheels, with options for Goodyear 235/70R16 Wrangler Trailrunner AT, BFGoodrich 235/70R16 All-Terrain T/A KO2, or EFX 30×9.5-16 tires

In June 2020, the United States International Trade Commission ruled that the Roxor infringed upon Jeep's trade dress. This decision was accompanied by a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order, effectively barring the import and sale of the Roxor in the US. Mahindra is redesigning the Roxor to further visually distinguish it from Jeep's vehicles. In December 2020, The International Trade Commission issued its final ruling and determined that Mahindra's redesigned 2021 ROXOR does not infringe on the “Jeep Trade Dress” claimed by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. In November 2021, Mahindra launched the new ROXOR design to the public in the United States.
