June 28, 2017: Mahindra is offering pre-GST benefits with the Scorpio. You can avail cash benefits up to Rs 6,600, exchange bonus up to Rs 15,000 and additional corporate benefits up to Rs 5,500. Earlier in June Mahindra silently discontinued the 6-speed automatic variants – S10 2WD and S10 4WD – of the Scorpio. The new automatic transmission is likely to be sourced from the same supplier as the XUV500. The automatic transmission in the Scorpio and the XUV5OO is likely to be different as both of them have a different drivetrain layout.
Earlier in March 2017, Mahindra introduced the Scorpio's Adventure Edition. It is available with either a 2WD (two-wheel-drive) or a 4WD (four-wheel-drive) drivetrain option. While the former is priced at Rs 13.1 lakh, the latter costs you Rs 14.2 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom, New Delhi).
The second-generation Scorpio, which made its debut in September 2014, is powered by the same 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine as the first-gen SUV. The engine puts out 122PS of max power and 280Nm of peak torque and is coupled to a 5-speed manual unit. Its rivals SUVs such as the Honda BR-V, Renault Duster, Tata Safari Storme, Hyundai Creta and the Nissan Terrano.
I recently got a chance to drive Mahindra Scorpio in an off-road rally and would say the experience was not very good. I have been driving SUVs for approximately 3-4 years and expected a lot from the Scorpio.
The car has got good looks and you will be impressed by them. But the real thing about an SUV is its performance off-road and this is where Scorpio fails to nail it. On loose tracks, the control is not very good and you feel disconnected with the track many times.

I have been using Mahindra Scorpio for a year and my love for the car increases with time.
I am a core SUV lover and this is the place where Scorpio nails it. I had checked its competitors while buying it and I really don't repent my decision. I just love off-roading and in the next para I will be covering some marvellous points about the car.
Important things first - I own a 4x4 variant which means the power is delivered to all the four wheels. This is not of much use on stable roads but read more 23
I bought my Mahindra Scorpio after looking many factors that any Indian would do. This begins with fuel efficiency, budget, number of passengers, look and feel, terrain where we are going to use. After three years of use I am very happy to write a positive review about the machine. To take a good approach I am also taking you to pros and cons and you can check for any below point among them. Pros: Powerful Engine: that would take you to any heights with any 'payload'. You might doubt I a read more 5
The Mahindra Scorpio is one of the most popular SUVs sold in India, thanks to a reputation that has been solidified over more than a decade. It was Mahindra’s first truly modern SUV and with multiple updates over the years, it kept up with the needs of the market, while catering to a wide range of customers.
The new-generation Scorpio features some attention grabbing design and new features, while maintaining its nature as an abuse-friendly SUV. Let’s explore what the Scorpio has to offer.
Things We Like in Scorpio
Road presence, aggressive styling and abuse-friendly structure.
Expansive feature list (touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, projector headlamps with LED pilot lights and tail lights etc).
Lower variant offered with 4x4, making it an affordable off-roader that can seat seven.
Things We Don't Like in Scorpio
Bumpy ride quality and plenty of body-roll.
Fit and finish quality is average.
Stand Out Features
4x4 offered with automatic transmission.
CarDekho Verdict
Make no mistake, the Mahindra Scorpio is still an old-school SUV underneath. It isn’t the most comfortable offering in its segment, nor is it great at handling. However, it is a value for money SUV.
"However, it is a value for money SUV."
Not only does it get a lot of features, it can also seat large families while effortlessly dealing with every challenge Indian roads can throw at it.
The Scorpio’s automatic variants were perhaps discontinued in lieu of the upcoming mid-cycle update/facelift of the SUV, which might get the XUV5OO’s latest 6-speed auto box. Read Full News
