Review
Mahindra Scorpio is an iconic SUV in the Indian market. It has a huge fan base and is quite popular in rural as well as urban areas. The new Scorpio is now BS6 compliant and provides more safety features than before. This is the ideal vehicle for those who like bold and muscular SUV, which can drive on any road surface. The engine is very punchy and it’s a fun to drive SUV. There are a couple of things this SUV misses out:
- No 4WD variant.
- Scorpio comes only in Diesel with Manual transmission.
- Being a ladder on frame SUV, there is a good amount of body roll.
