Most Helpful Review

Godfather of all Suv

Great driving experience, with great stability, great comfort while riding, while driving safari you wont feel tired because of the great seating comfort, applicable for long trips also.

A tough and rough car

I got to say, that Mahindra Scorpio has some serious performance game. I had a chance to drive one man and it was a blast. The engine roared like a beast and the acceleration was off the charts. The handling was smooth and it felt like it could take on any road.

Good build quality

Good build quality and also it has a great value for money however the airbags are not so good and also comfort wise this car is not so affordable overall pricing range makes this car good.
