ORDER ISSUE #6 OF ENGAGE 4X4, EXPLORING THE IDEA OF FREEDOM FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT OF THE MAHINDRA THAR What does the Thar symbolise? Freedom obviously, but what kind of Freedom? From its wild stallion characteristics to its ability to get you from the desert sands of Jaisalmer to the snowy mountains of the Himalayas in 24 hours flat, we have done all sorts of looney things with the Thar. In this issue, celebrating India’s 75th year of INdependence, the Editor delves deep to understand what the Thar means from the perspective of Freedom. We also settle one of the oldest debates of the off-road community - 4WD vs AWD and offer a peek into Mahindra’s state-of-the-art design centre in the UK. All that, and a lot more.
Every single aspect of the Thar smacks of functionality. Yet, the Thar is also, literally, the four-wheeled pictograph of Freedom. With one mighty effort and a little bit of help from Velusamy R of Mahindra, we have finally managed to put to bed an old quarrel - 4WD vs AWD. Pratap Bose gives us a lowdown on Mahindra’s spanking new design centre in the UK. Born Electric is the catchphrase for the company’s drive into a sustainable future. We present Mahindra’s new offering in the burgeoning EV space - the XUV400. Can a Mahindra bust a tank? A trip to the Longewala Museum has the answers. In this mother of a throwback, Sirish remembers what it was like driving through Azerbaijan. Drive around and turn the planet green with the Scorpio-N Green Drive. Looney Ouseph took the angry orange Super Thar to the forbidden Mana Pass. Never heard of Designer Mahindras? Well, yet another reason to pick up this issue of Engage 4x4. The final part of the hunt for a diesel motor, in this issue’s Timeless Mahindra Top tips on Driving in the Snow Agent Vinod investigates the differences between Terrain Modes All that, and more!
