I want to buy a new car, SUV, or MPV in the ₹20-22 lakh range that can handle waterlogging well. Roads in Kolkata are often bad, and last year showed why even good engines (like i-VTEC) struggle with heavy water. Please advise.
The best way to save your engine is, of course, to avoid driving in water-logged areas, except in case of an emergency. Also, if possible, park your car somewhere safe and retrieve it when the water level has subsided. No engine, no matter how reliable, should have to endure a hydrostatic lock from water entering the combustion chamber. That said, an SUV will always be far better than a sedan, owing to its higher ground clearance and the relatively higher positioning of the air intakes. Thus, if you're determined to drive through water-logged areas, consider a Force Gurkha. It comes with a high-mounted air intake and a snorkel, which allows it an astonishing 700mm of water wading capability. It should sail through most waterlogged roads without issue.
I’m looking for a diesel SUV and am torn between the Force Gurkha, Tata Safari, and Scorpio N. It will be my second car, mainly for highway trips and some city driving. Which one should I choose?
Out of the three options, the Tata Safari is the one to go for, for its excellent ride comfort, both on the highway and in urban conditions. It feels tough and flattens bad roads very nicely. The Tata Safari price starts at Rs 13.40 lakh for the base Smart variant (ex-showroom).Moreover, it is more comfortable in all three rows than the Mahindra Scorpio N. Tata's 2.0-litre diesel engine is punchy, although the Mahindra car has an edge in terms of refinement.The Force Gurkha is the most rugged of the three, and the most capable off-road. But since you want a car for on-road driving, it is also the least comfortable, feels utilitarian, its diesel engine lacks performance, and there is a lot more body roll than the other two cars.
