India’s off-road SUV scene just got a rare and rugged upgrade.

The exterior carries subtle yet meaningful cues, including a ‘1941’ decal on the bonnet and military-style detailing that elevates its classic look. These retro elements are not just for show—they celebrate the model’s origins while making it stand out sharply from the regular variants on the road.
Adding to the safety and convenience, front and rear digital video recorders come as standard. For those looking to gear up even further, an optional adventure pack can be added. It includes a roof carrier with built-in side steps and a Sunrider roof—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who need both cargo versatility and open-air freedom.
Creature comforts include automatic climate control, 12-way electrically adjustable front seats, and automatic headlamps. A front-facing off-road camera with washer function adds to its all-terrain confidence, giving drivers extra visibility when tackling tricky paths.
True to its off-road DNA, the SUV comes with a full-time Selec-Trac 4WD system, complete with Rock mode. This is further enhanced by locking front and rear differentials, a front sway bar that can be disconnected electronically, and a 240 Amp alternator for added endurance during demanding terrain drives.
