Chinese EV brand Rox Motor to launch in Australia by early 2027
Rox Motor plans to launch its two large electric SUVs in Australia by early 2027.
Rox Motor is a Chinese electric SUV brand and has confirmed plans to enter the Australian market. Entry is planned for late 2026 or early 2027.
The company was founded by entrepreneur Chang Jing. It was previously known as Polestones.
It makes just two models: the 01 and the Adamas. The 01 and the Adamas are large SUVs.
They have extended-range electric powertrains. A petrol engine acts as a backup generator in each.
The 01 offers 235 kilometres of electric range plus 1115 kilometres of combined range. The Adamas is slightly larger and delivers 1226 kilometres of combined range.
Pricing, local models, and sales methods are not yet set. Rox Motor has already started in markets across the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.
