Verdict
The new Mahindra Scorpio has come a long way since 2002- no two ways about it. With every generation, the evolution has been praiseworthy. But this one might just be the best of the lot. A few inherent Scorpio issues like dynamics and styling have been addressed with this one- although not thoroughly, but still a lot to keep it safe until the next generations start to appear. Fit and finish have genuinely improved though a handful of shoddy bits are still around. But all that apart, NVH and refinement levels have been dialed up by at least five notches.
The new cabin feels like a thoroughly pleasing place to be in, and the new gearbox is much, much slicker- all of this contributes to a far better driving experience. The new Scorpio will effortlessly munch away the long miles and it won’t exercise your limbs in stop-go traffic. That easy going characteristic wins it a lot of brownie points from our side. Agreed, the steering is dead, and she’s still scare you with its high speed maneuverability but it’ll ferry you loved ones in utmost peace.
Mahindra have finally made the Scorpio a mildly desirable and appealing product- at least the top end variants. If comfort, value and refinement are high on your agenda, you must give this one a try while looking for a big, bad SUV in a budget. For those seeking the thrills around a corner, we would like to suggest robbing a bank and getting themselves a BMW X5.

- S2: Rs. 7.98 lakh
