Mahindra Armada CJ7 2.1 D (62 Hp) 4WD
Mahindra Armada:
The Mahindra Armada was a sports utility vehicle and multiutility vehicle based on the Jeep. It was produced in India from 1993 until 2001.

The Armada, the Grand, and the Bolero were all intended for urban market segments where Mahindra had hitherto been underrepresented.
The design of the Armada began with the Jeep. In the mid-1950s, Willys Motors made the Jeep CJ-5. From this vehicle, the MM540 Jeep was developed. The automotive firm, "Mahindra & Mahindra", developed the MM775 and Marshal series of steel-bodied estates with a long wheel base and three or five doors. The first one, the MM775, arrived in 1992 although a long-wheelbase five-door "Metal Wagonette" of the MM540 had been available in limited numbers since 1987. This, however, was a custom job with handbuilt bodies of low quality and was not cost effective.
