Mahindra Scorpio

-The buying experience was genuine and it depends on your sales executive as well. In my case it was fantastic. The riding experience was amazing. True SUV size, seating is very high, and visibility is great. Smooth suspension with some body roll of course, but that is the charm of the SUV on a ladder frame. -The car looks stunning in black and looks huge though tyre size of 18 inches looks small, and 17 inches is too small for this car. But the tyre can be upgraded as the car has a lot of suspension travel. -Powerful and smooth performance, a bit noisy on low rpm, and when you push hard turbo makes a grunting noise which I will talk about in my 3rd service. -Regarding mileage, we have both Manual and Automatic in the family. Automatic is sadly less fuel efficient as the torque converter shift between 3-4 takes 2200 rpm. Before shift unnecessary throttle causes less mileage. Maximum mileage in city traffic is 8-9 KMPL and on the highway, it is 12-13 KMPL. Whereas in Manual Transmission it is 12-13 KMPL in the city and 15-16 KMPL on the highway. But driving a car this huge with a Manual transmission doesn't make sense in today's world. Air-conditioner chills ridiculously. -Overall fine but on a high-speed car loses track on the speed breaker and also makes a rattling noise. -Better than the competition in many aspects although the choice is subjective to individual needs. It can be compared with Safari but not with Fortuner.
