Off-Road Day 2017 | Feature | Autocar India

[@autocarindia1]

Hi Everyone! Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback; we have been listening! Just to clear up a few of the big queries we've found in the comments: - We've chosen these SUVs because they're relatively new, so cars launched a while ago (Pajero Sport, Safari Storme, Gypsy etc) were not included (except the Thar, as it was the control car) - We stuck to cars that claim to have some off-roading ability, so road-focused SUVs were left out - We stuck to just one model per brand, so yes, cars like the big Range Rover and Wrangler didn't make it; sorry - We really wanted the Force Gurkha. It would have fared very well. We asked Force Motors, but they didn't have a car to give us - The Thar has a rear diff lock, our spec box says it does not - that's a mistake on our part; we're sorry Hope that cleared things up Give this comment a like if you found it helpful! :) Thanks! Team Autocar India

Autocar India hi, eagerly awaiting your comparison video between Hyundai venue and xuv 300..

[@Whois_MAC]

More videos of off road

[@tusharsharma-zn6md]

You could have used jeep wrangler instead of compus

[@joyal876]

I live in Liberia, Africa. Here 80% of the roads are muddy throughout the year. Ford Endeavour is the default choice of travel here. If you are in endeavour, you can drive through any terrain without any worry.

[@BRollOffroad]

just looked it up, the earlier versions almost look like a land rover, that thing is sick!

[@rigpathak]

But fortunar has got more capabilities for off roading

[@groovyylashe3947]

[@parveengarg7232]

Thar

[@Movableobject]

Riced thing

[@Prat_Saw]

So a Thar which only costs arnd 9lac on road.. challenges and competes with vehicles which are 2 to 3 or even 10 times expensive .. Good job Mahindra..

[@mi7hxn]

The suspension and the ride quality and quality of everything sucks.

[@sauravallen]

yet doesnt have basic creature comforts and no refinement, ever thought of that?

[@mi2lk8]

Add 5 lacks package to thar and u get all the refinery

[@I-47-I]

You'll probably get a slip disc when it goes over a speed breaker..😀

[@Digvijaynilekar]

You guys think they brought Thar to show its ride, quality and comfort ?? Lol... That monster was there for support if any of these cars get stuck. This is not at all a challenge for Thar.

[@diveenvarma5068]

Hexa was actually impressive being the fact that it's an MUV and competes with Innova. And thar is like Mahindra thar is like Maruti 800 you can just drive it without the fear of damaging it as it can be repaired without spending a fortune in comparison to other SUVs

[@gavin_drives]

Agreed, the Safari Storme would have fared better, as we mentioned in the video. But the Hexa is the more recent launch, and Tata has given it an off-road mode in the 4x4 Manual version, so we thought we'd give it a shot :)

[@palaksharma4990]

[@rahulkrish9840]

Gavin D'souza Hello.. Do you think the fortuner is as capable as the endy in terms of off road? And people say it's over rated and over priced.. it doesn't have the advanced tech as in the endy & it's not as good to drive.. Heard that the auto gearbox in fortuner had falied in phillipines So can u please drop your opinion.. and is the fortuner worth buying ?

[@nipundudeja]

You all can not imagine how mad I am at my father for buying the Fortuner instead of endeavour. After-sale value and service were the 2 major reasons for my father's decision. Do you guys agree? We have the top end fully accessorized one and it cost us 37-38 lacs with insurance(before prices went down) .

[@syedmaaz92]

Nippun Dudeja see thats a mature choice as fortuner is known for reliability. Service costs are also low compared to Endeavour and yes its known car which is used by Most MLA and MPs in India so have the royal feeling of it

[@tabishsohail4917]

Ismail S.M Endeavour have a better engine more power lowest maintanence in segement and also feature loaded

[@pranav1709]

A good video from autocar! Fortuner and Endeavour show their real capabilities here! I think below the Prado (1cr) and LR Discovery (75L), the Fort and Endy are the most capable SUVs for going offroad.

[@amalgeevarghese6867]

And to see the Thar which costs less than 10lakhs going through the terrain as if it was home! 🤩🤩🤩

[@kending8502]

So will a Tractor.

[@AirmanHolmes]

There is a reason why G class still follows 30 year old brick design. IT WORKS. It is the poshest and craziest SUV out there with exceptional road presence. Can't wait to see to the next generation G Class about to be unveiled shortly.

[@devashishkhairnar_69]

Please make one more video like this with all the same cars of 2020.... It will just rock 🔥🔥

[@sudarsanpj6338]

No off road features.......just simply the THAR kills offroading😍😍😍

[@aparnam854]

You've only taken them mudding and bogging. And a little bit of crawling. We need more tests like articulation and duning etc

Thank you Autocar India for showing the offroading capabilities of SUV lineup. Specially thanking you for bringing Isuzu Dmax Vcross, Fortuner & my 2 personal favourite The Dico Sports & Ford Endeavour. Pretty impressive was the ovious Mercedes AmG which alwaz & will remind me of Mahindras Bolero. For me it's a Mercedes Bolero :P , but what's in a name..it's figures impresses on paper as well as on & off-road. Big Fan of Thar too but cannot take it out with friends for long drives & off roading which I can with DMax VCross. Didnt expected The Baby Jeep to cross finishing line but wow it was impressive. TaTa hexa has some abilities but doesn't impress much as a SUV, it doesn't look so rugged & tough !! That's my personal choices & opinion, not intended to any1s feelings :) Love the Team & Love Endeavour, DMaXV Cross & The Disco Sports :*

[@gavin_drives]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@anandmestry8357]

Allover the Compass and Discovery are not made for off road but what about the Hexa I think that it is also a family car but the Mercedes AMG is insane but which one is best according to the price for off road?

[@DhirendraKumar-kn8nw]

Thanks for doing such a hard work👍

[@Anand-rt1cn]

Endeavour wins hands down in all areas compared to sluggish Fortuner. Fortuner is just for the majestic looks and highway cruising and offcourse the reliability of Toyota. Endeavour has the hardrock body and hardware to crush any kinda offroad trials. Watch the offroad comparo of Endeavour vs LC Prado . It's almost equivalent to prado in terms of offroading , cruising , drivability and the only diff was price. Endeavour is way ahead of the competition and v can say it has come from the future :P :P

[@jithugodwin9868]

It shows how the Ladder on frame chassis is effective in offroad situations. Best all-round is definitely the Fortuner, it proves itself , and second by Endeavour which is a little more inclined to be a luxury car too. Its surprising that Hexa ,compass, etc could do some off roading. Nice review and the other 4 wheel drive Cars like Tiguan, XUV 500 , Safari, Scorpio should also have added little more oomph. XUV 500 seems a very VFM cum affordable Everyday car cum Offroader.
