Two Mahindra Thars Stuck In Snow Rescued By Maruti Jimny: Video

Mahindra Thar is one of the most popular SUVs in the country. It is available in both RWD and 4x4 configurations. We have seen several videos online where the Mahindra Thar is seen showing off its off-road capabilities. In the past, we have also seen people compare the Jimny and Thar. Now that we have reports of heavy snowfall up in the mountains, we have started seeing many videos of vehicles getting stuck. Here we have one such video where a Maruti Jimny rescues not one but two Mahindra Thar SUVs stuck in snow.

The video has been shared by Nitin on his X profile. The exact location is not mentioned, but it is definitely somewhere in Spiti. In this video, we see a road that is fully covered in snow. Mahindra Thar SUVs were exploring the terrain when they got stuck. It looks like the vehicles were part of a convoy that was exploring the mountains during this time of the year.

We see two Mahindra Thar 4x4 SUVs stuck in the snow. Both SUVs had lost traction or were beached in thick snow on the road. They were unable to move forward or reverse. Without help, they were not going to get out of this situation at all.

To rescue the Thars, we see a Maruti Jimny approach. The SUV is equipped with recovery tools. We see a tow strap tied to the rear of the Jimny, and the other end is tied to the Mahindra Thar. The Maruti Jimny pulls the Mahindra Thar and gets the first one out in no time.

After this, we have the other Mahindra Thar that was stuck a bit deeper in the snow. The same Jimny reversed and tied the rope to the rear bumper. The Thar driver engaged 4x4 and reverse gear and assisted the SUV. The Jimny once again pulled the Thar, but on the first attempt, the SUV didn’t move and remained stuck. The Jimny driver was also finding it tricky as he didn’t have a proper recovery point to pull it out.

We see that even the Jimny was losing traction on the snow. After several attempts, the Jimny driver was finally able to free the car from the snow. However, the task was not over yet. He then had to pull the Thar a couple more times to ensure that it was completely free and could move without external help.

The Jimny proved its off-roading capabilities in this video. It is an SUV that is often made fun of for its size, but in this video, it shows how a compact size and lightweight nature help during such expeditions. The Mahindra Thar is heavy, and that is what makes things difficult when it gets stuck.

It should be noted that both the Mahindra Thar and Maruti Jimny are capable SUVs. Both of them have their own pros and cons. The reason why we feel the SUVs got stuck in the snow despite being 4x4s is probably because they were driving on snow without snow chains, which offer much-needed grip to the tyres on snow.

Always be careful while driving on snow, as it is one of the trickiest surfaces to drive on. Ensure that you do not accelerate or apply brakes aggressively, as even a minor change in input can make your vehicle go out of control.
