September 27, 2016: The third/current generation of Mahindra Scorpio was launched back in 2014. Since then, it has not seen many cosmetic or feature changes but has witnessed a new mechanical powertrain. Launched with a 2.6-litre and a 2.2-litre motor, Mahindra in 2016 introduced a 1.99-litre diesel engine in the car as well, which was launched with the company's Intelli-Hybrid technology at Rs 9.35 (ex-showroom) in Delhi recently. This was done in order to overcome the 2-litre and above diesel ban in the national capital. The car is priced at Rs 8.8 lakh for the base variant (S2) and goes all the way up to Rs 15.3 lakh for the top-end 4X4 automatic variant (S10) (ex-showroom Delhi). The 1.99-litre variants are only sold in Delhi. Recently, the automaker has recalled the Scorpio manufactured until June 2016 since its launch to fix a faulty fluid hose.

Introduction:
Mahindra Scorpio has been the undisputed king in the Indian SUV segment for more than a decade now. It changed the fortunes for Mahindra and helped it to become one of largest sports utility machines maker in the country. It is designed and developed indigenously by the manufacturing team of M&M. In its journey in the automobile world, it has won several rewards and awards including "Best SUV of the Year" and "Best Car of the Year" from the popular BBC weekly auto daily "World Wheels". It went through ups and downs in India and faced tough competition from the likes of Tata Safari and Renault Duster and yet survived the challenge. Let's explore further into the vehicle.
Pros:
1. The New-Gen Scorpio looks intimidating. All thanks to its exterior updates.
2. The 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine delivers exceptional performance.
Cons:
1. Its ride quality still requires some improvements.
2. Price tag of high-end version is very expensive.
Standout features:
1. . An advanced 6-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports all necessary connectivity features.
2. It comes packed with innovative features like static-bending technology, voice assist system, Intellipark and GPS navigation.
Overview:
Prior to Scorpio, Mahindra had a fleet of basic utility models like Armada, Bolero and others. After the arrival of Scorpio, company's brand image took a turn for good and gained popularity almost instantly. It was the first modern SUV by Mahindra in the country and it certainly lived upto the expectation of the firm and auto enthusiasts across India. At one point, Mahindra Scorpio was the best-selling model in the country. It evolved constantly over the time and entered into a new generation in the year 2014. Recently, the company had to launch this vehicle with an oil-burner with engine capacity of less than 2.0-litre, thanks to the ban on diesel powered vehicles with engine capacity of over 2.0-litres in the national capital. In a bid to further rejuvenate its sales, an automatic version has also been added to its lineup. Now, the Scorpio is available in more than 18 variants with seven and eight seater options.
Background and Evolution:
In the year 2002, Mahindra introduced its first modern SUV, Scorpio, in the country which changed the perception of a utility vehicle in India. It was an instant success back then that encouraged the company to launch an upgraded version with minor tweaks to its exterior and interior design. While in 2006, its second generation model had been launched with notable changes to its styling and specifications. As the sales experienced a downside, the Indian firm introduced the third-generation Scorpio in 2014 that helped in its revival.
Exteriors:
Mahindra Scorpio does cast quite the aura, with its well toned body format and menacing demeanour. Powerful lines invigorate its look, while a more masculine build texture adds to the distinguished appeal. We'll admit, we were definitely taken by the Scorpio and its aggressive stature, something that we're sure will lure most viewers from the younger generation.
The front end of the Scorpio is not as overdone as some other models of this company, such as the XUV500 or the Xylo. We think that the more down-to-earth, grounded design language that the company has used to shape this model has played to its side. Despite lacking that modern touch that today's vehicles have, the machine does command a unique prowess of its own.
At the front, the focus is on the large grille, touched with chrome accents, which is sure to attract the attention of masses.
The headlamps come with LED eyebrows, and we thought this added an intriguing touch to the image.
At the base of the front skirts, a large air dam stretches out, with fog lamps on both corners. The wide hood is streaked with subtle lines, and the bonnet scoop adds a sporty element to the appearance.
Much of the design of its side facet remains the same like its predecessor. The prominent lines that sweep through the sides add some more gravity to the look, along with the clean body cladding.
When you take a look at the vehicle's side, you're sure to feel drawn by the muscular wheel arches and the stylish wheel rims beneath them. This latest version now gets 17-inch alloy wheels in its top end variants, while the lower end variants come with steel rims.
There is a silver finished bezel highlight on the wheel fenders, and although it's quite subtle, you can tell that the company is willing to go the extra mile to energize this machine's look. For the higher end variants, the door handles and outside mirrors are body coloured, and we loved the unity that this inspired in the look.
The tail-gate applique is yet another marvelous touch to the look, while the black number plate applique finishes off the distinctive vision of the vehicle.
This latest version of Scorpio measures about 4456mm in length, 1820mm in width (excluding the ORVMs) and stands with a height of 1975mm. It also has a ground clearance of 180mm, which is not suitable for off-roading.
Interiors:
Interiors of the new generation Scorpio get subtle changes to its design, cosmetics and the quality of materials, bringing an up-market appeal to the cabin. The interior design looks completely different over the predecessor. Be it the dashboard or steering wheel or seating, everything about the interior is new. The cabin is spacious and good enough for seven passengers. But the leg room in second row makes you feel cramped and certainly could have been better.
Step inside the vehicle and you'll notice the elegantly designed dashboard that comes in a dual tone scheme. It has a typical SUV design with beige and black colour scheme with metallic highlights.
One thing that really caught our eyes is the instrument cluster. It has a bold design featuring two analogue gauges and a digital display. Also, it is packed with a few notification lamps, which helps keep the driver informed.
The steering wheel comes with a trendy 4-spoke design, which can also be seen on XUV500. It comes mounted with multi-functional switches for audio control and call functions. All the switches have back-light facility.
The center console houses an in-car entertainment system featuring a six inch touchscreen. It is integrated with navigation in 10 different languages. It also offers readouts including tyre pressure and temperature, average fuel consumption, GPS navigation, and other vital stats of the SUV.
The front seats of the Scorpio are reasonably comfortable and offer good support thanks to its ergonomic layout. Its high perched positioning is one more reason that makes you feel comfortable.
The second row gets knee level air vents console featuring drink holders. It has been positioned well and doesn't eat much of leg room.
The third row is furnished with two jump seats. However, higher end variants have an option to choose front facing third row seat with foldable armrest.
There are tons of utility features provided inside including accessory power socket, cup holders, glove box, sun visors and a few other storage units.
The overall interior design is good, but much more work could have been done to improve the quality.
Performance:
The new generation Scorpio comes with the same 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine, but with some minor refinements. Turn the engine on and the SUV roars to life with a slight vibration. It feels smooth and pleasant when on idle. It picks up quite well and you will hardly notice any form of ruggedness. Also, gear shifts feels smooth, thanks to the refined gearbox. This 2179cc engine has the ability to pump out a maximum power of 120bhp at 4000rpm and a hammering torque of 280Nm at 1800 to 2800rpm. For the Delhi and NCR region, Mahindra is offering the Scorpio with a 2.0-litre engine instead of 2.2-litre unit, which has a displacement capacity of 1997cc. This engine produces the same power and torque like its mHawk counterpart. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph is clocked at 14 seconds. Drivability on city roads is good, but Scorpio shows its real performance on highways. Even at speeds of over 100 kmph, it feels relaxed. Transmission duties of this mill are handled by a five speed manual transmission gearbox. The top-spec S10 variant is available with an option to choose a 6-speed automatic transmission gearbox. This SUV has the ability to return a mileage in the range of 13 to 15 kmpl. However, this figure goes down to 13.5 kmpl in its automatic version.
Ride and Handling:
Its sits on a sturdy suspension system that features hydraulic double acting telescopic shock absorbers. Fitted to the front axle is a double wish-bone suspension layout with independent coil springs, while the rear one is assembled with an anti roll bar loaded multi link coil spring suspension. This gives you a better ride quality unlike any of its nearest rivals. Mahindra is offering this SUV with a conventional disc and drum braking mechanism. However, the presence of anti lock braking system aids its overall performance and lets you enjoy the highway driving to the fullest. The steering on the other hand is very responsive that minimizes the effort required for handling. Parking in tight corners is a one-handed affair.
Safety:
The all new-generation Scorpio has tons of safety features including digital immobilizer and collapsible steering wheel as standard across all the trims. Currently, the Scorpio is on offer in six trim levels wherein dual front airbags and ABS with EBD are available as standard from S4+ trim onwards. The company is also offering advanced features like auto door locking while driving, seatbelt reminder lamp and parking brake indicator on instrument cluster, while the top-spec S10 trim also comes with speed alert function.
Variants:
As mentioned above, this third-generation Mahindra Scorpio comes in six variant levels namely, S2, S4, S4+, S6+, S8 and S10. Its base version S2 gets basic set of features including hydraulic power assisted steering, a manual air conditioning unit with heater, power windows with switches on central console, accessory power socket and a few storage units. If you are on a limited budget, then choosing S2 trim would be a wise option, as it would fulfil all your basic requirements. However, if you are a music lover, then you must go with at least S6+, which comes with a 2-DIN audio system featuring a CD player, USB and AUX-In. While the higher-end variant S10 gets advanced features like a 6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, GPS navigation, a driver information system, parking assistant and a voice assistant system.
Verdict:
The third-generation Mahindra Scorpio has undergone a major overhaul with regards to style, comfort, handling and dynamics. It is perhaps the best option in the entry level SUV segment, thanks to its competitive initial cost of ownership. However, as the trim level increases, it gets painfully pricier. You really have to think twice before going in for the higher-spec model, since it is very expensive for its features, quality and stature. In this segment, you can find Duster as its closest rival, but it is a five seater and its engine size is significantly lower. Hence, Tata Safari Storme is the only alternative for the Scorpio, but it comes with its own drawbacks.
