    Great owner and fan of Scorpio N, it's a all rounder, good for city, good for off-road, also solid on the highway gives decent fuel economy. The ladder on frame chassis helps in the wrecked road of India.

    This is a difficult question to answer. I own a ScorpioN 4Xplor diesel Manuel- I can say that this car is one of my Favorite because it kind of ticks all the boxes when it comes to a SUV. It has a decent engine, with eNough power for its dynamics, It is decently equipped , gives good milage (I have personally got 17-20kmpl on the highway) Though the quality could have been made better, i will Not complain. For the price of 28 lakhs on road bengaluru, and comparing all other SUVs in that price range, this is really good.

    The Scorpio is a robust SUV known for its rugged design and impressive off-road capabilities. With a spacious interior that comfortably seats seven, it's a practical choice for families. Its diesel engine offers decent power and fuel efficiency. However, the ride can be a bit bumpy, and the cabin lacks some modern tech features found in competitors. Overall, the Scorpio is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and capable SUV.

    The build quality and features are impressive, and its off-roading capabilities are remarkable. The service and maintenance are a bit costly, but considering the performance, it feels worth it.

    Mahindra Scorpio-N is a powerful SUV that combines ruggedness with modern comfort. Its king design and commanding road presence make it stand out on any terrain. Powered by both petrol and diesel engine options with manual and automatic transmissions. Scorpio N is most popular in North areas of India, hence I belong to the same place so it is very commendable SUV here

    I feel scorpio n 4x2 at z4 is an excellent vehicle for the general indian road user if affording and for me if being specific. Its very decently priced at around 19 lakhs on road for the kind of car its providing and the prices of the current car scene in our country. It has a basic display which i would anyway like to change for a touchscreen with much higher resolution and high definition sound, which honestly makes a very huge difference in sound quality and cant be matched by any top model screens. In the above said model basic speaker setup given will also not be much of a mental barrier to getting the speakers changed for some much much better sounding morels and a nice sweet underseat sub, which will anyday be better than the sony tuned sound system in the top model even if it can be said the sony system gets almost at par with an aftermarket one with the addition of an amp with the stock speakers. The lights being reflector based are also much easier to replace with better led ones and getting them professionally focused to make a beam pattern similar to halogens on low beam and provide a focused high beam, will be much cheaper than projector change in main headlamp unit of

    Mahindra Socrpio N is my favourite in the recent ones available in my budget and that is the reason I own one. It gives you a good balance of tech and feel of ruggedness of true to core SUV. I love the ride and handling and refinement the engine offers. It gives you all comforts and easiness but the same time gives you a feel of riding a ladder frame SUV.

    Mahindra Scorpio N is tall, high-riding SUV with a long bonnet and a distinct two-box shape, and that simply screams 'Scorpio'.The performance is awesome, nice driving experience. SUV lovers should go for it. In the Driver's seat View of the road is extremely good.

    It's nearly as capable as a Thar if not for the larger size and that's a compliment while handling slush and big rocks quite well. In fact, the off-road ability is what sets the Scorpio N apart from its rivals and it is worth the money if you are slightly more adventure-inclined over the typical city usage.
