| ![]() Wonderful compilation of the monsoon soft-roading. Is a Jeep compass going to join the troop soon? At 0:28 of this video, did the Thar get stuck? I heard phrases - "Yeh kya kiya, Yeh kaise kiya?" ![]() I am not an off-roader but I have learnt a lesson that shoes play an important role for any car. Can't go to play tennis with woodland shoes, can't go hiking with tennis shoes. Last edited by khan_sultan : 16th October 2017 at 08:12. Reason: trimmed quoted post for better readability |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Last Sunday we had the opportunity to see a XUV AWD AT in action in slush and it was a fantastic performance. I could not find any review thread on XUV AT on team-bhp, so posting it here. After the last encounter with the XUV a few weeks back, I was a bit skeptical, but this one proved to be excellent. It had Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres on it. I drove it for a while as well and it did not feel like it was struggling anywhere. Power delivery was smooth, there was no loss of traction and it was effortless. It got stuck in one place, but even the mighty Thar got stuck ![]() One question, what is the water wading specification of the XUV? Will the depth of water, that is midway up to Bolero's bumper, be too much? There was one place where we could not take the risk. The water level would have just touched the grille of the XUV. The internet connection has been erratic, hence not able to post the videos right now. Posting a few pics for the time being. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The proud owner Vishwanath, team-bhpian AJ-got-BHP's cousin ![]() Our very own AJ-got-BHP to the rescue ![]() Stuck! so what, even the mighty Thar got stuck ![]() Thar pulling out Thar! ![]() ![]() This is the place where we could not take the risk of driving the XUV. ![]() Last edited by BlackPearl : 1st August 2017 at 00:58. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I would advise against taking XUV and other soft roaders or even Scorpio etc [in deeper water than shown] in the picture. The airbag module may get harmed as well as lots of sensors. Slush, mud, axle breakers are ok ![]() |

Videos are usually misleading specially about the slope of the inclines and the amount of slush and mud that the vehicles go through. For those who think after seeing the videos that a 2WD vehicle can perform the same, here is a video of a 2WD XUV 5OO. The AWD XUVs were going through these patches without a problem - Even this amount of of slush becomes impossible for a 2WD to cross unless carrying a huge amount of momentum - Last edited by BlackPearl : 4th August 2017 at 17:02. | |

| ![]() What a nice and informative thread with some brilliant pictures. It takes a lot of courage to drive your car through such deep water and extremely skilful driving. Though I understand nothing about off roading, it seems you need a really cool head with plenty of patience. |

| ![]() Can any Hexa 4X4 owner confirm if Hexa has LSD? If no, then how is the wheel without traction stopped and power transferred to the other wheel, as can be seen in many Hexa experience videos where the Tata guys get two diagonal wheels in the air and power is still transferred to the other two wheels, with these two wheels getting locked. |

| ![]() Thanks for the clarification. Somewhat similar to Fortuner's Active Traction Control System? How do such systems compare with LSD (not fully lockable diffs) in terms of effectiveness? |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() About a couple of months back it rained in Kolkata and we got good opportunity to do a bit of off-roading in a nearby field. The XUV and Duster performed beyond our expectations. The link to the video - |

| ![]() Nice video. Looks like you already had tow ropes attached to the XUV and the Duster assuming they might not cross it without some help. Surprised to see the Endeavour and Scorpio cross it out easily than the 1st Thar. Was there any specific reason for that to happen with the Thar especially when it came with AT tires? |
