Xylo has done what Toyota’s Innova and Tata’s Safari failed to achieve. Yes, Xylo has cannibalised the sales of Scorpio by almost 25%. Customers who enter the Mahindra showroom are lured by Xylo (not bcoz of styling but for its VFM). Scorpio may have impeccable road presence but the Xylo scores over it typically all other factors. To prevent further cannibalisation and to make the scorpio fit for another battle, Mahindra has come up with a refreshed scorpio packed with even more features and at a significantly cheaper price tag.
Mahindra scorpio: Definitely as Mahindra says, scropio is the most muscular machine flying around. Flared up arches, wide track, spruced up bumpers and jeep inspired grille makes the scorpio most lovable for hardcore auto enthusiast. Mahindra has made scorpio even more attractive by adding nice style elements. The new scorpio gets a signature Mahindra grille with silver central tooth, multifocal headlights, provocative bonnet scoop, fog lamps, road armour bumpers, embossed side cladding and integrated rear footstep.
Mahindra scorpio: Mahindra has replaced the 2.6L CRDe engine with advanced 2.2L m_Hawk engine on all variant making the scorpio first model to comply yet to be implementd Bharat IV emission norm. Mahindra also offers an optional micro hybrid system in the top end VLX variant. The 2.2L m_Hawk engine is extremely responsive and we are left with no word to explain those massive torque. Scorpio rushes forward with urgency ,your head gets thrown back, and the seat-of-your-pants. However the disconnected steering, too soft suspension and lack of safety features inhibits you push the engine to its edge.
Mahindra first introduced this start-stop hybrid system in Bolero but earned rant reviews on account of poor practicality. However Scorpio micro hybrid is good and non intrusive. The A/C does not goes off when the scorpio is in standby mode. The engine also starts as you depress the clutch without any hassle.
Mahindra scorpio: comes equipped with 2-DIN audio system and refreshed interiors. New scorpio gets two seductive colour themes – black allure and a new tan and beige combination. Unfortunately, Mahindra has carried forward the gear knob from bolero and xylo.A parking brake,electrically powered ORVM and digital immobiliser adds convenience to live with this beast.
Mahindra scorpio: With the price reduction(ranging from Rs 34,000 to Rs 70,000), Mahindra has also rationalised the variants of scorpio. Scorpio is now available in four variants – LX,SLE,VLX and VLX automatic. Scorpio also gets two new shades – Mystique Purple and Toreador Red.
