Beast On The Road - Mahindra Scorpio

I have been a Mahindra Scorpio lover for a decade now and have upgraded to the 2015 model after I sold the previous generation Scorpio. Beginning with the things I love about the car is the whole exterior. LED Headlamps, the aggressive grill, the bonnet scoop, the backlights. It appeals to me as an overall package oozing strength when looked from the outside. The driving is eased by the smooth gear shifts compared to other SUVs of the higher segments. It also is the most affordable 7 seater with the kind of features like reverse camera, navigation and cruise control. Now coming to the downside, having driven it for more than 200000 km, I can tell that the car certainly lacks stability when it comes to rough patches on the road. The body roll also becomes an issue when traveling uphills. The upholstery also requires a major upgrade as the interior doesn't cope up with the exterior. Overall the car has been a reliable partner in all my journeys. The captain seats help me cover good amount of km without any worries. The mileage also is around 13 km/l if driven well in the city and 16 km/l on the highway which is pretty good for a car of this size. The pickup has also been no issue for its 2500 cc MHAWK engine. The after-sales service is also not bad. After-sales service will not burn a hole in your pocket. Hope the review was insightful and would help you choose the right car.
