Pros Cons of Mahindra Scorpio-N

Pros

  • Strong road presence and classic Scorpio identity
  • Powerful petrol and diesel engines
  • Optional Four Wheel Drive capabilities
  • Much improved ride and handling 
  • Solid safety credentials with a five-star rating

Cons

  • The third row feels cramped for adults
  • Interior fit and finish could be improved
  • Touchscreen resolution appears quite dated

Verdict

The Mahindra Scorpio-N is one of the biggest generational upgrades the model has ever received. While the design plays it safe, the improvements beneath the skin are significant. Ride quality, steering feel and overall refinement have all improved dramatically, transforming the Scorpio from a rugged utility SUV to a much more balanced family vehicle. At the same time, it still has the ladder frame construction and four-wheel-drive capability that many buyers expect from the badge.

The Scorpio-N may not be the most luxurious SUV in its segment, but when it comes to buyers who value road presence, capability and a strong mechanical foundation, it is one of the most compelling options in its class.

Siddharth summarised the experience neatly following his drive:

“This is a massively improved car. It takes many leaps forward.”

Pros Cons of Mahindra XUV500

Pros

  • Looks better than before. Facelift ups the premium quotient
  • Seats are well bolstered
  • More power available on the diesel

Cons

  • There's a hint of body roll
  • Low on power at lower rpms
  • Understeers when you take a corner

Verdict

Mahindra is offering some new colours on the XUV500 - Crimson Red and Mystic copper, both of which we did not get to see; but the Crimson Red looked promising on the presentation board. Mahindra will hope the refresh brings its customer base back into M&M showrooms and more importantly, back to driving the once popular XUV500.
