Default Serious 4WD

Let me try to List you Geographical requirements.
1) Mountainous Roads
2) High -Altitudes

For Both the above requirements a ECM type Diesel or Petrol Engine is recommended.

Petrol - Gypsy King 1.3L 82Bhp & 10Kgm@3300
Diesel - Bolero (DI-Turbo/ MDI3200TC) 2.6L 68Bhp & 18Kgm

The Bolero is very rugged and the new MDI3200TC is considerably torquey
MPFI Gypsy King (10Kgm) MDI3200TC (18KGM).

I have used all variants of the Gypsy and every possible Mahindra JEEP Off-Road.

The Gypsy is a very peppy and agile 4WD more suited for jungle tracks and that kind, but lacks the built and power for the very rough stuff.

However for High-Altitude the is no substitute for a MPFI petrol Engine.

Regards,

Arka
