So why won't we get this?
Why do we only get the luxury, upmarket vehicles?
I see even the Thar has been dropped.

Jakes, we don't get the Thar in SA because India alone buys more than Mahindra can build.

To answer your question:
Why we won't get the Roxor in SA?
1. It's built in the US & is LHD.
2. It costs as much as a Corolla in the US, meaning it will be close to R400k here, ignoring import duties, Ad Valorum duties & VAT etc.
3. It is NOT road legal. So it has to be farm bound.
4. It won't sell in numbers here, certainly not enough to be economically viable..
5. We have the Brandt BRV here which is bigger, better, has more power, is road legal & cheaper - why would any farmer buy the Roxor?

If you like the Roxor & don't want a Brandt BRV for some reason, why not look at the Force Gurkha?

Any other questions Jakes...?

Who would want one?

And no, Mahindra won’t offer one because one person is interested.

It’s basically a tractor, without the refinement.
