Chinese brand Rox Motor has been spotted testing its Adamas SUV in Sydney as it prepares to enter the Australian market.
Rox Motor, a Chinese premium electric vehicle brand, has been spotted testing its Adamas SUV in Sydney as it prepares to enter the Australian market. A marketing agency confirmed the brand's arrival to local media in October, stating it would launch around the end of this year or early next year, though the distributor and retail network remain unconfirmed.
The brand offers two large, unibody SUVs: the 01 and the Adamas, both available in six- or seven-seat configurations. Unlike the Land Rover Defender, which offers petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid options, both Rox models are extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs). The 01, the brand's first model revealed in 2023 with styling by Pininfarina, features a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine that charges the battery, with electric motors driving the wheels. It produces 350kW of power and 740Nm of torque.
Rox Motor was founded by Chinese entrepreneur Chang Jing and was originally known as Polestones. Unlike roughly half of new Chinese brands entering Australia over the next 12 months, it is not part of the Chery Group.
