Thar based Mahindra Roxor to get automatic gearbox soon
production of the Roxor with an automatic transmission has already been started
The Mahindra Roxor off-roader has been doing pretty good for Mahindra & Mahindra in the US. Mahindra Automotive North America is currently rolling out over 30 units of the Mahindra Roxor every day from its Auburn Hills, Michigan plant. In order to further increase sales, Mahindra is now readying the Roxor automatic variant. In fact, production of the Roxor with an automatic transmission has also been started and the market launch is expected in the next few days.
If media reports are to be believed, Mahindra will soon start dispatching the Roxor AT to North American dealerships. The images reveal that the Roxor will be fitted with a torque convertor automatic gearbox, though more details are yet to come. Also See –

The Roxor is based on the Mahindra Thar and is currently on sale in the USA. It is available as a side-by-side UV and is classified as an off-highway vehicle. US Federal Postal Service is also using the Mahindra Roxor off-roader. The Mahindra Roxor is powered by a 64bhp, 2.5-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox and standard 4WD gearbox. The addition of an automatic gearbox will put Roxor well against the rivals, which are available with automatic options.
