Gurugram Viral Video: Heavy rains lashed Delhi-NCR on Monday and once again, Gurgaon’s fragile infrastructure was exposed. With streets turning into mini rivers and traffic piling up for hours, frustrated residents flooded social media with clips of the chaos. Among them, one particular video quickly grabbed attention, as it showed luxury cars helplessly stuck in knee-deep water outside a housing society. The viral video, shared by X user Kanwar Bir Singh, featured three high-end vehicles, a Volvo S90, a BMW and a Mercedes, stranded at the society gate.
In the video, the man recording can be heard saying, “All the luxury cars, displayed here, right in front of our gate, all stuck because of this waterlogging that has happened while entering the society.” The irony wasn’t lost on anyone. While the expensive cars failed to move, the caption pointed out that “the cheaper Indian cars were easily able to wade through this knee-deep water at the entrance to the society gates.”
The video has now gone viral, with many questioning why a city like Gurgaon, filled with upscale societies and premium vehicles, still struggles to handle a spell of heavy rain.

India is not for the beginners.

The irony of it all; the cheaper Indian cars were easily able to wade through this knee deep water at the entrance to the society gates 😊#DelhiRains #GurgaonRains #DelhiNCR @navdeepdahiya55 pic.twitter.com/bI1YoJkAnG
The video shared yesterday garnered 273k views. "Actually, this shows the owners are clever. They know that driving on a flooded road will result in hydrolocked engines = expensive repairs. Those German cars would have cost a fortune if they were hydrolocked," a user wrote. "These European SUVs have their air intake set very low and have near-zero water wading ability. Exciting times for workshops," a second user wrote.
"The new generation vehicles ve a ton of electronics, wiring, cabling & sensors controllers in them. So, naturally, chances of them conking out quickly are most likely," wrote a third user. "My cousin was facing issues with the steering motor on his BMW, which got damaged by water ingress.. I can understand alternators/horns, lights, etc, but this," added another user.
