Indian automaker Mahindra has won a legal battle against Fiat Chrysler Automobile (FCA) in a US court, gaining permission to produce and sell its off-road utility vehicle, the Roxor. This verdict overturns a previous ban on the Roxor’s sales, despite FCA's claim of design infringement. This win paves the way for the introduction of the Post-2020 Roxor to the US market.
Following the ban, Mahindra redesigned the Roxor in 2020 to comply with the law, allowing the company to introduce the Post-2020 Roxor in the US market. Despite Fiat Chrysler's subsequent request for a ban on the redesigned vehicle, US District Judge Gershwin Drain in Detroit rejected the motion, stating that the post-2020 Roxor did not infringe upon Fiat's trademark rights, according to Reuters.
However, the 6th US Circuit Court reversed the decision last year, leading District Judge Gershwin Drain to reevaluate whether Mahindra's new design should maintain a "safe distance" from Fiat's vehicle, considering the automaker's status as a "known infringer," as reported. This week, the Detroit court ruled in favor of Mahindra, stating that the safe-distance rule should not be applicable in this case.
In a regulatory filing, Mahindra stated, "The Eastern District Court of Michigan, on July 19, 2023, has issued its opinion and order on FCA's renewed motion to enjoin the Post-2020 Roxor and has declined to apply the safe distance-rule to this case, as sought by FCA," as reported by The Times of India.
In the US market, Mahindra offers the Roxor in two variants: the base and all-weather models. The base model starts at $20,599, while the all-weather model costs $28,739. Both variants have a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine producing 195 Nm of torque and 61 bhp maximum power. The Roxor features a robust steel body and boasts a towing capacity of approximately 1583 kg.
With a top speed of 88 kmph and a maximum towing speed of 24 kmph, the Roxor is powered by a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed manual transfer case.
