One of
the cheapest 4x4 SUVs is for sure the Maruti Gypsy. Built on Ladder frame chassis,
it’s a mountain goat on an unforgiving terrain; it can take up serious beating
and is built as strong as a tank. No wonder its one of the hot favorites of the
Indian Army.
P.S - The wannabe offroaders like Safari, Scorpio can never match the abilities
of this wonderful SUV, they look, feel & drive better on the tarmac. I can
vouch for its off road dexterity & the reliability of Maruti.
However, this vehicle is far away from comfort, expect a real bumpy ride, the
stiff leaf springs will ensure that every pebble on the road is felt. Features
like Air conditioner, Power Steering, Power Windows, Central Locking are far
away from this bad boy. It only believes in one Power… that’s the muscle power.
You would have a good 17 inch biceps after driving it regularly for few months.
You can
also consider the Bolero Invader 4x4. Its currently being manufactured with
both XD3P & DI engines. 4x4 as an option is available on both the models.
Think
wisely and take your decision.
 May the FOURs be with you - JEEP
