After 6000 KMS in my New Refresh Scorpio I can write a review for it. Five years
back I had made an aim for myself that I will buy a Scorpio come what may. This
year I bought one and I couldn’t have been happier.
Lets talk
about the ’beast’ Mahindra scorpio a little.
The most impressive part of
Scorpio is the engine. it is absolutely responsive. It seesm like it obeys me
when I am driving. Though it is a diesel engine, there is no diesel clatter at
all. It is very smooth and silent like a petrol engine. The cabin is well
insulated.
Scorpio is the ideal "SUV’ because of its suspension. That is
the key for any SUV. As far as Scorpio suspension is concerned, it just gobbles
up ups and downs and large potholes on the road. There is no rattling of the
internal parts. The steering is very convinent and the controls are very
dynamic. It is surprisingly smooth for a vehicle of the size of Scorpio. It is
surprisingly easy to drive in traffic even after being so huge.
Apart
from that, the new bunmpers and the fog lights is very delighting as it adds to
its macho character. The Nippon Music system is of average rating but not a bad
accessory. The reverse sensors shows even the direction of obstacle and detects
even the corners of the bumper. Cruise control is working fine. Automatic
headlights are also added convinience.
All in all Scorpio is very refined
vehicle and will go down perfectly in countires like US where the norms are
really strict and the requirements of comfort and quality very stiff. In that
respect Scorpio rightly deserves to be sold in these markets.
The only
issue that i came across till now was a slight vibration in the gear lever in
tbe third gear. It can be repaired I guess.
