FCA didn’t like the Roxxor.
Well, here’s their new small SUV, released today, the Thar!

Mahindra: *changes Roxor grille to look less Jeep-like*
FCA:
Mahindra: “Check out our new Thar SUV”
Stellantis:

Well that sure looks like a bunch of lawsuits.

It’s such a copycat move for Mahindra to make their new model look so much like a lawsuit that already happened. SMH

Nope. That’s why we get the Pik-Up.

Not really NEW new....they’ve produced a Thar for years. T
he Thar is the modern
name of their Jeep vehicle. The Roxor IS the first-gen
Thar, they just renamed it for our market. They originally were granted a license to produce Jeeps way back, so they had the right to do it.
That being said, this one does look a lot like the FCA Jeep....BUT.....it’s kindof hard to keep a ‘Jeep’ looking ‘Jeep-like’ without them being fairly similar...

Yup, I think the lawsuit was really that Mahindra brought it stateside. I think as long as it isn't in North America (and certain other markets too I'm sure), FCA won't bother them because of the license..

Why are front and rear fender flare s a different shape? It looks like crap.
Mahindra was one of the companies to get license to build Jeep from Willy’s. Just like Chrysler. Maybe that has something to do with this...
