Mahindra Getaway 4x4 (old)

You need a certain athletic ability to haul yourself into the lofty environs of this pick-up. Just like in an SUV, you sit nice and high which is an intrinsic part of the appeal. But the Getaway doesn’t feel very fresh. It’s essentially the over-familiar Scorpio inside but that’s no bad thing. It feels well put together though, with decent plastics and switchgear. There are plenty of cubbyholes which make the Getaway practical on the inside.

Jump into the rear seats of the pick-up and the lack of room comes as a bit of a shock though. You really do expect a lot more space and comfort, given the super-tanker dimensions. But the Getaway still manages to afford some amount of comfort in the rear, with good underthigh support and sufficient legroom. There’s also an air-con vent for rear passengers. However they will have to contend with the slightly bumpy rear ride.
And in terms of carrying load, this Mahindra pick-up has a big bed which is fairly deep and wide. It is very practical and functional.
