The bigger question is whether it can compete with more established brands once real-world reliability and ownership costs become clear.

The vehicle looks impressive on paper, but I'd be more interested in parts availability and long-term support.
A lot of new brands build great vehicles. The real test comes when something breaks and owners need repairs quickly.
Sometimes the ownership experience matters more than the spec sheet.

The specifications look promising, but I think the biggest challenge for Rox isn't building a competitive SUV it's convincing buyers to trust a completely new brand.

Features and performance can attract attention, but long-term reliability, software support and resale value are what ultimately determine whether owners come back for a second vehicle.

What do you think is the single biggest obstacle for a new brand trying to compete with established manufacturers?
