The Mahindra XUV 700 AWDs are mighty vehicles - we did all the obstacles without a drama. Except the ones which were meant for high ground clearance Thar and 4WD Scorpio N, the FWDs and AWDs did all obstacles

The Act of Escaping - with Mahindra Adventure in Bengaluru

The Mahindra Adventure conducts a lot of events for Mahindra vehicle owners across country. Now they have a one day escapes planned for Bengaluru too. Today was the first event - and I had signed up for it. It was a paid event, booked from www.mahindraadventure.com and costed Rs. 8K for a pax of four and our own vehicle.

After having changed to AT002 tyres, I was eager to test them on the terrain that it is meant for - hence signed up and went with my kids and a nephew to the event. Nothing spectacular - just the ordinary Mahindra Adevnture event with some goodies, lots of stickers and average food with access to a good off-road facility near Ramnagara.

The AWDs are mighty vehicles - we did all the obstacles without a drama. Except the ones which were meant for high gc Thar and 4WD Scorpio N, the FWDs and AWDs did all obstacles. The difference between the FWDs and AWDs was that, not a single vehicle got stuck or struggled as opposed to some FWDs needing serious help from the marshals. Good thing is - no recovery/ rescuing was needed for any of the cars, let alone FWDs.

The AT002 are amazingly grippy on the hard rocky surface. No wheel spins, no drama. The steering I have observed to be slightly heavier than with H/Ts but got used to it within a 25-30 kms of driving already. They are a bit noisy on highway I noticed but tnohting to complaint about - they are a lot silent than the rear suspension creaking noise I hear inside cabin!

The AWDs did not even have to go into manual mode, nor they needed to switch off ESPs. just following instructions of the route marshals, gentle throttle when needed, pushing through the A pedal when asked for is all that most owners did.

Long story short - I want to thank myself for choosing AWD and AT002
