Mahindra is now offering Android Auto and Apple CarPlay in the high-end S9 and S11 variants of the Scorpio.



The Scorpio BS6 was launched in April this year. The SUV is available in four variants S5, S7, S9 and S11. The S9 and S11 variants come equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit. The latter also gets GPS navigation in 10 languages, reverse parking camera with Dynamic Assist, automatic headlamps and rain sensing wipers.



Powering the Scorpio is a 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 140 BHP @ 3,750 rpm and 320 Nm @ 1,500-2,800 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 2.5-litre diesel engine and the 120 BHP, 2.2-litre diesel unit has been discontinued. The SUV is no longer available with a 5-speed manual gearbox either.

So the Scorpio didn't get these earlier? Oddly I was under the impression that the top trims did get these connectivity features last year when I took the TD for it.

I don't quite get this. So the 2.2 / 140PS engine in the higher trims & a 2.5 CRDe in the lower ones. Where else is this 2.5 BSVI used? I think even the TUV300Plus gets the 2.2 mHawk. Was it really worth for M&M to invest in upgrading the 2.5 CRDi to BSVI for quite limited applications in the PV segment?

Doesn't the Bolero range (passenger and commercial) still use that motor?

Exactly. And Xylo low end ones as well that are very popular in the cab market.

As far as I know, the BSVI Bolero PV uses the so called "mHAWK75" engine. Not the 2.5 CRDe. Its a small one & so cheekily Mahindra doesn't mention the actual displacement etc even in the brochure. Not sure about the commercial vehicles though.

Xylo was discontinued. The only BSVI Mahindra MPV is Marazzo now.

I looked. Passenger variants have shifted to a smaller 1.5L motor labeled mHawk75 (you're right, the brochure is vague on details), the commercial Pik-Up and MaxiTruck variants are still running the old 2.5L motor.

What's not to get? The 120 BHP 2.2 and the old 2.5 have been discontinued. Now there's only one engine, the 2.2 with 140 bhp.

Used. In the past. Now the bolero engine is the 1.5, same as in the Tuv300, with less power.

Yep - I think I misread the line / punctuations there. For some reasons I read it to mean the 120 PS 2.2 was discontinued but 2.5 remains!
