Mahindra Scorpio Classic

Key Features of Mahindra Scorpio Classic

• 
  9-Inch Touch Screen Infotainment

  The 2023 Mahindra Scorpio Classic boasts a generous 9-inch touch screen infotainment system, featuring Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming. Additionally, it offers USB and Aux inputs for linking external devices like smartphones and MP3 players. The infotainment system also supports phone screen mirroring, allowing you to display your smartphone's screen on the infotainment display. It offers a range of features, including a radio, music player, and navigation system.

• 
  Instrumental Cluster with Audio

  The Scorpio Classic's instrument cluster, situated in front of the driver, provides essential information such as speed, RPMs, fuel level, temperature, and odometer readings. It also includes details like gear position and warning indicators

• 
  what3words (W3W) - Alexa Enabled

  The Mahindra Scorpio N combines what3words and Alexa, enabling drivers to effortlessly navigate to precise global locations using voice commands. This feature proves particularly valuable in India, where street names can be repetitive, addresses confusing, and rural areas often lack clear addresses altogether.

• 
  Cruise Control on Steering Wheel

  Conveniently, audio and cruise control buttons are integrated into the steering wheel, enabling easy control of audio settings and cruise speed adjustment.

• 
  Fully Automatic Temperature Control (FATC)

  The Mahindra Scorpio Classic features a sophisticated Fully Automatic Temperature Control (FATC) system. This technology maintains your desired cabin temperature automatically, regardless of external weather conditions. Sensors monitor interior and exterior temperatures, humidity, and airflow to ensure your comfort.

• 
  Static Bending Technology in Headlamps

  The 2023 Scorpio Classic incorporates static bending technology into its headlamps. When you turn the steering wheel, additional reflectors within the headlamps activate, directing light toward the inside of the corner for enhanced visibility during turns.

• 
  Anti-lock Braking System with Panic Brake Indication

  Equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Panic Brake Indication (PBI), the 2023 Scorpio Classic enhances safety during hard braking. ABS prevents wheel lockup, enabling steering control and reducing braking distances. PBI is a valuable feature that alerts you during emergency braking situations.

• 
  Collapsible Steering with Engine Immobiliser

  The Scorpio Classic prioritizes safety with its Collapsible Steering system, designed to collapse in a frontal collision, reducing the risk of chest and head injuries. Additionally, it features an Engine Immobiliser, an anti-theft device that prevents unauthorized engine startup by disabling the fuel or ignition systems without the correct key.

• 
  Dual Airbags

  For enhanced safety, the 2023 Scorpio Classic is equipped with dual airbags, one for the driver and one for the passenger. These airbags deploy in the event of a frontal collision, providing crucial protection to both driver and passenger in case of an accident.

Mahindra Scorpio Classic Detailed Review

Butch Design With Huge Road Presence 9

• The Mahindra Scorpio, a familiar sight on our roads, remains a popular choice for those seeking a robust SUV with a rugged appearance. Sporting a boxy design, the Scorpio features a prominent chrome-accented front grille and headlights with a modern projector style and integrated LED daytime running lights. The updated front bumper includes a central air intake vent, fog lights, and a functional hood scoop for improved air intake, complemented by a silver-coated skid plate.
• With wide wheel arches accommodating 17-inch alloy wheels, the side profile of the SUV is enhanced by distinctive lines and wrinkles, giving it a chiseled appearance admired by SUV enthusiasts. Roof rails contribute to its SUV-like aesthetics, while stylish black side footboards provide both flair and convenience for passengers entering or exiting the vehicle.
• The SUV's rear section boasts a distinctive design featuring LED taillights and a roof-integrated spoiler. A rugged appearance is achieved with the skid plate-like cladding, aero blade wiper, and chrome elements.

Basic Interior With Sleek Design 8

• The interior of the Scorpio maintains the sleek design seen on the exterior. The dashboard, with its textured grey-black finish, remains upright and compact. Bright colors are strategically used, creating a more spacious and airy cabin. Positioned in the dashboard is a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
• Inside, the Scorpio offers luxurious imitation leather upholstery, providing a comfortable and stylish atmosphere. The well-padded seats, including a height-adjustable driver seat, contribute to a cozy ride. The multi-spoke steering wheel features audio controls for the driver's convenience. Increasing practicality, the cabin incorporates numerous storage spaces, including cubbyholes in the floor console and additional storage in the center.
• Loaded with features, the interior includes anti-pinch windows, electronically adjustable ORVM controls, and an automatic roll-up function for the driver-side window when the vehicle is locked. Regarding the seating, they offer satisfactory comfort. The second-row seats provide decent under-thigh support and ample legroom. However, the third row presents a different scenario. Extended travel in the third row may lead to discomfort due to minimal legroom and under-thigh support.

Improved Ride & Handling Offers Comfortable Ride 9

• The Mahindra Scorpio features an enhanced suspension system, offering reduced body roll compared to its predecessor. Although there is still noticeable movement when the car turns corners, especially at higher speeds, the increased rigidity of the suspension smooths out minor road imperfections at lower speeds. The Scorpio showcases excellent high-speed stability, providing a firm and secure feel on the road.
• Thanks to the engine's improved refinement, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels are significantly lower, ensuring minimal impact on the cabin. Despite the increased braking power, there are occasional instances where the brakes may feel a bit soft and spongy.
• At slower speeds, the steering offers adequate feedback. In contrast to its predecessors, the Scorpio feels more nimble and responsive at higher speeds, instilling confidence in the driver.

Power 2.2-litre Diesel Engine With Manual Transmission 8

• The Scorpio Classic comes equipped with a 2.2-liter diesel engine, delivering 130 bhp of power and 300 Nm of torque. This engine is notably lighter by 55 kg and exhibits a 14% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor.
• The manual transmission has been upgraded to feature a new 6-speed cable shift, substantially enhancing the overall driving experience.

Scorpio Classic engine specifications:

Transmission	Manual
Mileage	15 kmpl
Engine	2184 cc
Power	130 bhp @ 3750 rpm
Torque	300 Nm @ 1600-2800 rpm

  Indian Pride
  Mahindra truly stands out when it comes to power, strength, comfort, and safety — everything about it is simply impressive. What makes it even more special is that it's proudly made in India. A big thank you to Mahindra for delivering such a solid vehicle, and thank you to 91WHEELS for taking my opinion into account. You're doing a great job — keep it up.
