The Legend of Mountains – Mahindra MAJOR CL550

This is general purpose vehicle in short jeep. This was one of the prestigious vehicle of everyone around a 10 years ago. There was time; you need to wait for this vehicle for this vehicle to get delivered. This thing wont gives you the power of a SUV and also don’t expect the luxury of sedan. But if you are looking for a retired life on high range mountains or you want to live a hard life then I will say this is the vehicle for you. Because this thing need minimum maintenance and also provide maximum output. In India this is the perfect vehicle for any road conditions. But now a days Invader and Bolero is much in market than the jeep. People are changing the style with the time. But still it’s a prestige and royalty to have one in hand.

DESIGN

From the front first attraction is the big wide grille. This gives definitely a hard look for the vehicle. As the name says it is a Major Ranked vehicle. The big hard front bumpers are also powerful ready to take any impact. The bumper has large space provided on both side for any extra fitting. Foot supports are provided on front and back for easy entry to the vehicle. In Indian condition says it is an extra seat. The tyres in the new major are radial.
The interior too is changed a lot from the old jeep. The dashboard looks simple only three meters are there. The dashboard is made in plastic material. A small glow box is also provided on the left end. The steering is been changed from old fashion. the front contains two bucket seats and in rear two seats face to face. Altogether Mahindra says 7 peoples can travel in this vehicle. But I am afraid the seating capacity is more. There are situations I see more than 15 peoples in a jeep.

ENGINE

The engine used inside the vehicle is 2523cc 4 cylinder, Direct injection turbo charged diesel engine. Maximum power available in this vehicle is 63bhp@3200rpm. But it is the torque that giving this vehicle a muscular power. The vehicle produces a torque of 180Nm@1500rpm. This is capable of overcoming any mountains. The jeep Major has 4 wheel drive system with 5 speed manual gear box.
