So the Scorpio has open diffs at the front and the rear. This is similar to most selectable 4x4s sold in India. The vehicle will stop moving if one wheel on each axle looses traction. The Safari has the advantage of LSD rear axle, but it is a heavier vehicle on the same tyres, so overall, the two may have similar offroad performance. Remember, the Gypsy with open diffs will cream almost all of the expensive SUVs offroad. Weight and ground pressure play an important role in determining a vehicle's off road ability.
We need a through offroad test drive 4x4s, something the auto mags will never give us...it will have to be done by ourselves, anyone willing to lend their 4x4 for some mud bashing?
