Cons
  • No value for money on offer only S & S11 variants are available

  • The pricing overlaps with the Scorpio N SUV
  • Third row feels cramped, the space management inside the cabin could’ve been better

      This vehicle has a very powerful engine and a beautiful, muscular design. The mileage is also impressive. It is my top choice for an SUV, offering the best value under its price range. Truly a childhood dream come true—thank you.

      I truly love the Mahindra Scorpio SUV. It has become the choice of the people, not only in Rajasthan but across all of India. Its strong road presence, powerful performance, and bold styling make it stand out everywhere. The Z Black color is especially popular, giving the Scorpio a premium, muscular, and commanding look. Overall, the black Scorpio’s design and presence perfectly match its reputation—tough, stylish, and loved by many.

      The car is good, though a bit expensive. The advantage is that even as a second-hand car, it retains good resale value. Overall, it’s a reliable car.
