Mahindra Major
open-in-new
<p>Mahindra Major was a renamed update of the <a href="/facts/Jeep_CJ/wFHU1S7n">Jeep CJ3B</a>, developed by <a href="/facts/Mahindra_%2526_Mahindra/IPlPXcf0">Mahindra & Mahindra</a>. It was first marketed in January 2003. It has an altered "New Generation Chassis," which was a 115 x 60 mm steel box section rather than the 100 x 50 mm C-section used earlier. This chassis was first seen on the <a href="/facts/Mahindra_Armada/0TohCnDr">Armada</a> beginning in January 1998 and gradually filtered into the rest of Mahindra's range. Over the years, the Mahindra Major has become a popular vehicle in rural areas of India, where it is used for transportation, agriculture, and other tasks. Due to its resemblance to the original Jeep, it has become commonly known as a "jeep" in these areas, even though it is a different vehicle made by a different company. </p>
