The Mahindra Roxor is one of our favorite UTVs out there, even though it’s a little hard to call it a true UTV. The original design, which was built between 2018 and 2020, had excellent Jeep styling to match its no-nonsense, rugged personality. That rad styling was its demise, but Mahindra bounced back with a redesigned Roxor, and the little beast lives on.
With leaf springs, solid axles, a traditional manual or automatic transmission, and a low-range transfer case, the Roxor spits in the face of the tech that most UTV builders throw at their side-by-sides. With a 63 hp turbodiesel inline-four under the hood, they’re no match for most side-by-sides in a straight line, either.
But thanks to their light weight, age-old design, and simple mechanicals, they’re dead easy to work on, and as in this case, they take modifications well. This one obviously has bigger wheels, tires, and axles than stock, and has been fitted with lockers, which it doesn’t get from the factory.
With those mods in place, it positively dominates the rocky screes at Pennsylvania’s Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area. We must get our hands on one of these little rippers, and soon.
