mobanmarketMumbai: Amid heavy rain that has disrupted normal life here, with people posting pictures and videos on the citys flooded roads, a video has gone viral showing a Jaguar is stranded in a flooded underpass at Airoli in Navi Mumbai, but an Indian-made SUV Bolero zips past despite the flooding and gets to the other side of the road without any incident.
###
After watching the video, netizens started comparing the two vehicles and even Mahindra Chairman Anand Mahindra reacted, but said he won’t brag about it.

He tweeted: “We won’t brag over this. It’s an unfair contest. The Bolero is meant to negotiate such landscapes (seascapes?)…But now you know why the Bolero’s my favourite vehicle to drive.”
###
Soon, Twitterati left thousands of responses on the same thread.
###
“That’s great to hear that all our vehicles can drive past such rough conditions,” wrote a user.
###
For many, the comparison was odious. The “Jaguar is sedan and Bolero is like SUV… so difference is due to height , ground clearance,” wrote another user.
###
The post has already gained 4,000 plus re-tweets and around 34,000 likes on Twitter.
###
“Free marketing and like the BOSS that he is, Mr Mahindra did not miss the opportunity,” tweeted one user.
###
In another tweet, Mahindra shared a video of the Pope travelling in a Mahindra KUV100 in Mozambique.
###
“His Holiness, the Pope travelling in a Mahindra KUV100 in Mozambique. A moment of pride; immense honour for all of us. Our distributor in Maputo supported the Pope’s Feed the Project; earned this honour. You always Rise when you do good,” he wrote.
