Mahindra Scorpio Classic

| Review & Win

Despite this being the SUV era, there are only a handful of SUVs that look as autocratic as the Scorpio Classic. Sure, the new version is modern and classy with lots of tech, but people aren't over the OG Scorpio, and that's because when you drive this vehicle, traffic clears the way for you to pass. It starts at Rs 13.61 lakh and goes up to Rs 17.41 lakh, with only three trims available. The mHAWK 2.2 L diesel engine has proven its strengths, making it a surprisingly fast vehicle, especially considering it's based on a ladder-frame chassis.

Variant Recommendation

author

We don't recommend the Base S variant of the Scorpio Classic because it lacks most features, making it an overly basic option. Although the S11 variant offers more features than the base model, its higher price doesn't seem justified. However, if you prioritize a large SUV with 7 seats over features, this might suit your needs.

Pros & Cons of Mahindra Scorpio Classic

  • What we admire in this car

    • Rugged stance and bulky build gives it a solid road presence
    • Ladder on frame chassis gives it ability to handle rural roads and hard terrains with ease
    • One of the most affordable 7-seater SUV available in the Indian market
    • Multiple seating options offers better practicality
    • The ride quality is now improved with updated suspension setup
    • The driveability has been improved with cable-operated manual transmission
    • More refined as compared to the previous generation
    • 14% More fuel efficient than the previous generation Scorpio
  • What could have been better

    • No value for money on offer only S & S11 variants are available
    • The base S variant misses on most of the features such as rear wiper, wheel covers, remote central locking and more
    • The S11 variant fails to justify the premium price tag as it misses on features such as Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, electrically folding ORVMs and more
    • Only a single diesel engine is available
    • No 4X4 hardware and automatic transmission on offer
    • The pricing overlaps with the Scorpio N SUV
    • Third row feels cramped, the space management inside the cabin could’ve been better

Mahindra Scorpio Classic Detailed Review

Butch Design With Huge Road Presence 4.5
  • 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.

    Mahindra has two Scorpio models currently in the market. The Scorpio N stands out with enhanced features and a strong road presence. Conversely, the Scorpio Classic exudes the timeless charm of the old-school Scorpio, offering more straightforward features. Both SUVs share a 2.2-liter diesel engine, but the Scorpio N provides additional choices, including an automatic transmission and an optional petrol engine. With pricing that overlaps with the Scorpio Classic, the Scorpio N emerges as a more practical option, boasting extra features and the availability of a 4X4 drivetrain.

    One of Mahindra Scorpio Classic's competitors is the Tata Safari. Recently, the Safari got a facelift, making it more modern and feature-packed. The Scorpio Classic has a robust appearance, keeping the traditional Scorpio look. In terms of engines, the Scorpio Classic has a larger 2.2-liter diesel engine, while the Safari has a 2.0-liter diesel engine. The Safari produces more power than the Scorpio Classic, giving it an advantage. Additionally, the Safari has more features than the Scorpio Classic, but it comes with a higher price tag, significantly more than the Scorpio Classic.

      Iconic Presence
      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.
