Pros Cons of Mahindra Scorpio Classic

Pros

  • Imposing road presence 
  • Tough ride 
  • Powerful engine 

Cons

  • Inconsistent quality 
  • No automatic transmission option 

Verdict

Mahindra revitalised the Scorpio brand with the launch of the sleek Scorpio-N, yet the previous model remains available as the 'Scorpio Classic'. While retaining its original design, the Scorpio Classic incorporates substantial upgrades, most notably an engine that's 55kg lighter and 14 per cent more fuel-efficient. But the sturdy build, brute looks, easy-to-repair, and many good qualities continue to be offered. 

Pros Cons of Volkswagen Taigun

Pros

  • Build quality
  • Turbo engines
  • Handling

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Fuel efficiency
  • No Diesel option

Verdict

Taigun has come like a breath of fresh air in the crowded and competitive compact SUV space in India. Despite the arrival of some newer models in 2022, the car has manged to hold own to its own, primarily because of its build quality, safety and drivability, especially with the bigger 1.5 litre turbo engine. At higher end though, it does feel a tad expensive which is a critical factor in the segment.
