As usual, new Mahindra Scorpio will compete against Hyundai Creta, Honda BR-V and Renault Duster in the mid-sized SUV segment. Though price wise it matches the league while it also gives tough competition to Nissan Kicks SUV and Renault Captur that are priced slightly higher.

Verdict

New Scorpio facelift does retains the old-school like feel along that car-like driving that comes with a modern touch. But absence of automatic transmission shows that Mahindra hasn’t responded to the customer feedback yet. On the other hand introduction of powerful mHawk engine compensates the loss. It boosts the overall performance and fixes the top end grunts that the customers complaints about. Looking at the additions, Scorpio seems to be a big thumps up and continues to give a likeable feel to the ones who still loves traditional way of driving.
