Mahindra Scorpio-N: 4 niggles noticed after a month of use

If you want a decent value and solidly built family friendly SUV that garners a ton of respect on the road, and have the patience to live with an evolving product, then by all means go for this bad boy.

Update: Got Vader detailed and properly polished by a professional. Some pics below.

He is back to his old dusty self after a short weekend getaway. Black is gonna be a job to maintain in our dusty environs.

Niggles:

• The right dashboard is now audibly squeaking every time he passes over a bump or uneven road surface.

• More worryingly, 3 times so far I have heard a loud metallic rattle/clanking from the front (from the engine or transmission??) when going over especially tall and long rumbler strips. Let’s see what the dealership finds during the 1k service.

• The entertainment system continues to be VERY laggy, having to press the play/stop buttons multiple times, which then results in some other application starting without notice. The phone also heats up a lot when paired with the car, which never happened in my previous vehicle.

• The inbuilt navigation (MayMyIndia) proves itself to be useless again and again. During the weekend trip it got lost a couple of times, randomly asked for u-turns and non-existent right turns, and gave wildly inaccurate ETAs vs. google.

One time it even told me that my current location and destination were the same, when I was 80km away from home.

The vehicle is definitely a work in progress, almost 1 year after being launched. If you want a niggle-free ownership experience, then strongly suggest either waiting for some time and risk the cost creep, or look elsewhere.
