Mahindra Scorpio
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Interior quality and poor fit and finish
- Short Features List
- No Automatic or 4x4 option anymore
- Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
- Efficiency is low, even in the RWD variants. Expect under 10 kmpl with petrol and under 12 kmpl with diesel automatics.
- White interiors - especially the fabric roof gets dirty easily and won't be easy to clean. The leatherette seats are easier to manage.
