| ![]() Why isn’t Mahindra showing the rear portion of the car in any of their teasers, or have I missed noticing it? Quite strange! Car is a looker from all angles otherwise. |

Giving a proper low range gear box and a rear locking differential like the thar and even the bolero neo will take this cars off road capabilities through the roof. All we can do is wait a few more weeks. For the official announcements. | |

You want pizza with all the toppings,but there is shortage of supply for many of them.Do you compromise on toppings and get it faster or wait to get your desired pizza?

This is music to my ears. If this can come close to the ride quality of XUV 7OO, that would be something! | |

I am not sure this is good or bad, XUV700 owners are complaining of suspension noise and thud on rough roads, not sure its because of limited travel or FSD but for a vehicle that is designed to go offroad this is a bummer. I will rather compromise some comfort to have a quieter and more articulate suspension. |

Will confirm this and get back. But there's a strong possibility that the L-shifter will be limited to the Thar only, since the Scorpio might end up becoming an occasional off-roader like the 7OO. 18-incher. Same as the 7OO. No, it won't be an AT tyre like the Thar or the Gurkha. Quote:

The Scorpio-N, being a BOF offering, might have changes to it's suspension to make it more pliant and stable. Birdie kept praising the cornering grip of the Scorpio-N and high speed stability to no end. We shall know better in the days to come, once the media drives are out in full force.

The fact that the states of engine tunes on the Scorpio are higher than what was originally anticipated (172HP/400NM on Diesel and 200HP/380NM on Petrol), is really encouraging. M & M could easily have gone ahead and given us a lower tunes (such as the 155HP/360NM from the XUV MX Diesel) on the Scorpio, and people would still be happy,. But if the news above is true, then offering the full Enchilada with the 200 HP tune of the petrol engine would make this a firecracker BOF SUV. The Diesel Tune of 172 HP seems to be calibrated to establish a bit of one-up-man-ship on the Harrier & Safari twins, which have 170HP. No one but Mahindra does this in India - most auto makers in India try to make do by offering the lower power tunes on the cheaper models far as possible. The absence of low range gear box is a downer. Hopefully they will have an extreme off-road edition such as the Trailhawk on the Jeep line-up with this feature ion the future.

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() I think this new gen Scorpio will go a long way towards changing the current image of Scorpio. very much like the new THAR did. There will be a lot of first-time Mahindra buyers.* Although there is not an iota of doubt that it will sell, this time the target audience will be widespread, which might lead to unimaginable demand. Possible reasons for the turnaround: 1. A more proportionate/sophisticated look while retaining the butch/tall boy stance. 2. Substantial advancements in interior design and fit-and-finish 3. The first appearance of an AT box and a gasoline engine 4. As is the norm nowadays, disruptive pricing by Mahindra leads to cross-shopping. For example, all I need is a crossover to upgrade, but I don't mind a butch BOF with 7 seats*for the same price. 5. In the 15–20 lakh price range, there aren't many 4/5-star crash-tested options. (assuming SCORPION is a 5 star). 6. Changed buyer's perspective regarding Mahindra as a brand I visited a Mahindra showroom 6 years back; it was worse than a government or municipal office, but not anymore. Even Merc owners are now stopping by to see how the new Thar/700 is doing. 7.Finally, tired customers of XUV700 jump over to SCORPION (although we might see similar waiting periods eventually). |
