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.

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.

Mahindra Scorpio N review

Drive it we feel it and car space is so long it gives the best mileage and looks so amazing. it has also sunroof but in Scorpio Classic it doesn't we compare at all over other cars it was the best.
