Mahindra Scorpio 1.99-Litre Version Gets Intelli-Hybrid Technology

A couple of months back, Mahindra introduced the same mild-hybrid technology with the regular 2.2-litre mHawk engine Scorpio across variants, in other parts of India. Now, with the addition of the Intelli-Hybrid in the 1.99-litre mHawk variants, the Scorpio will be sold as a mild-hybrid SUV across India.

Mahindra says that the Intelli-Hybrid can reduce fuel consumption by up to 7%. This by assisting the engine with electric power during acceleration automatically switches the engine off within 3 seconds of the vehicle being stationary (start-stop) and reusing brake energy, which would otherwise be wasted, to charge the battery. Coming to the engine itself, the Scorpio's 1.99-litre mHawk motor generate the same 120bhp and develops a peak torque of 280Nm. The oil burner comes paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard.
