Mahindra Scorpio Review

The Mahindra Scorpio has its nice angles but, as ever, the high roof and narrow width do give it lopsided proportions. It’s a bit of a climb into the cabin but you’ll like what you see. The dashboard is smart and quality is largely good. Still, there are ergonomic issues and some cheap bits on the inside too. The seats are also not the comfiest, and in all three-seat configurations, the third row is sub-par on comfort.
While the lower-spec Scorpios with the 75hp, 2.5-litre diesel engine feel underpowered, the middle and top-spec versions with the more powerful and modern 2.2-litre diesel engine feel light on their feet, and offer good mid-range performance. The 2.2-litre engine is also impressively refined. Maintaining the calm is the suspension that goes about its business quietly. Low-speed ride is good but the Scorpio also feels bouncy on rough patches.
