Thanks acquillew for your feedback. Yes, the XUV700 seems to be the one for a more comfortable ride for being ferried around. I do agree with the looks - side by side, the N looks bigger and more intimidating. As for ingress and egress, my parents are OK with the N thanks to the side step.

Which car to go with depends of each persons requirement.

So true - its a question of individual requirements at the end. The novelty factor with the N makes my heart retain the Scorpio N booking, although my head says long term a petrol 700 would be more comfy for the parents.

Thanks atluri_rkc. I can see where you are coming from. However, I am not an off-roader and nor will this car be driven by myself (for like 95% of time). But take your point thats its sheer VFM, which has always been a massive decision factor for me.

Guess I wll just mull over it for a few more days and then take a final call.
Thank you all.

Dear BHPians,

Thanks for the clarifications on my query in this thread. I have decided to go with the Scorpio N. Now the only question remains is that is it worth going for Z8 2WD or Z4 4WD?

I am not an off roader but would very rarely go off track for my birding but I have been doing that in my Duster AWD all these years.

Since Scorpio N 2WD is a rear wheel drive, I was of the opinion it can handle that. Both the variants are around 22 Lacs but yes Z4+4WD has a bit if a waiting period and does not come with the creature comforts the Z8+2WD offers.

Do share me your thoughts. Thanks in Advance.

Were you able to follow on this. I have booked 700 but they have booked wrong color and it is still not corrected after 4 days .

In fact, its the opposite for waiting period. Only Z8*L* is available. The production of Z8 has not even started and there is no official confirmation from Mahindra if it will start in the next few months too. Just rumors by Youtubers. Z4+WD has been delivered to a few people it seems. Of course Z8 does offer more creature comforts including an AT that's just not available with Z4+4WD if that's a deciding factor.
