Mahindra Getaway 4x4 (old)

The Getaway is powered by the Scorpio’s CRDe motor, which is effectively a generation old. Still, it feels fairly responsive off the line, thanks to its short gearing and flat torque curve. This is particularly useful for load-carrying duties or when tackling mountain tracks. It feels peppy and responsive enough for town use, but we wished it had a little more power and maybe an extra gear ratio for the highway.

The Getaway takes 7.06sec to reach 0-60, while 0-100 comes in 18.12sec. It has a top speed of 120kph which is achieved in 26.88sec. The in-gear acceleration from 20-80 in thrid gear takes 15.01sec, while 40-100 in fourth gear takes 19.03sec. That said, it’s pretty refined and very tractable.In terms of fuel efficiency, the Getaway returned 9.1kpl in the city and 11.4kpl on the highway.
