Even though Indian car enthusiasts have started to popularise hardcore off-roading to the mass segment, most SUV owners stay out of dirt and mud. However, there are a few crazy owners who use their SUVs instead of tractors as farm equipment and it is absolutely astonishing. Here are five SUVs sweating it out in the fields in India, mostly Punjab.
Mahindra Thar
The good-old Mahindra Thar is a popular vehicle in the off-roading circuit of India. Seen here is a Thar that is pulling a harrow through the fields. The Mahindra Thar is a potent SUV that can be driven to extreme conditions. The new Thar is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine that produces a maximum of 105 Bhp and 247 Nm. It gets a 4X4 system with a low-ratio transfer case.
