Powerful beast for those who dare

Have clocked over 40k km with my TUV3OO T8 manual in last 2 years 6 months. Its truly tough to the core. Roads or no roads; it simply crushes the small pebbles and glides over potholes (but for that you have to at more than 20km/hr).

It has very powerful torque that makes driving a fun. Even when fully loaded, it sprints into action effortlessly. It provides very commanding position giving wonderful view. This adds to safety during ghats or during night driving. Very powerful lights also add to safety.

AC is very powerful and though it is 7 seater, you never feel the need for rear AC vent. Now to some of the negatives. Body roll is high so tackling turns and corners needs to be done carefully. The 3 cylinder engines feels strained at speeds over 100 kmph. The best speeds are 80 to 90 when it behaves properly.

It gets very bouncy while Crossing speed breakers or undulated roads at low speed. Finally, Mahindra service has improved a lot over the years. If you are a driving enthusiast, looking for a safe powerful SUV that needs small parking space and need lots of space inside TUV3OO is the vehicle for you.
