Mahindra Scorpio [2009-2014] User Reviews

Exterior Very Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very Poor.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good.

Ride Quality & Handling Average.

Final Words Looks like all the  focus has been on the exterior looks and engine which are good. Interiors have been given 'Kaam Chalta hai' attitude and feel like that of a transport vehicle.

Areas of improvement Steering vibrates vigorously at 120kmph. Service center is unable to fix the problem. They say it is natural for scorpio because of its big tyres!!!

Interiors are very outdated, crude and basic. They lack contemporary design, aesthetics, finish, refinement and quality. Dashboard material shows up white scratches easily. Front seats don't have any lumbar support and cave in, giving lower back ache. There are awkward horizonal rods under the front seats which totally block leg space for those on back seat. Doors close with a loud bang and the door knobs insige are very hard and sharp. The center AC also drastically blocks leg space and should have been moved to the roof. The seat breadth from backrest to knees is so high that legs dont fold and cramp the leg space. No space to even put the tool kit. Need a center headrest for such a wide seat. The last row for 8 seater should be splittable into 2 and foldable like Innova. Currently last seat is very clumsy.

Exterior very good looking, handsome beast.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) need not worry.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride superb and handling very easy.

Final Words I had driven more than 1,50,000 kms and still my vehicle is doing good and it is value for your money.

Areas of improvement Vehicle is too good but when comes to servicing this service people do not handle the vehicles properly, actually improvement should be done to train the service staff to hadle the vehicle properly.

I had a very bad experience in my vehicl in the year 2011 when i was returning from Hyderabad, which i shall narrate in short.

Before going to hyderabad my vehicle was service at India Garage, near Victoria layout as we traveeled with  family, we were very much annoied with behaviour of my vehicle but still we manage to reach hyderabd and all our work got over we spent two days and on sunday morning we headed back to bangalore at early morning 6.00 am, and my vehicle did not had regular pick up and we were not able to drive more than 40 km/hr and by evening 5.00 pm we reached Ananthpur with great difficult as it was sunday we could not find any machanices and atlast vehicle came to stop at ananthpur at the middle of the road, we tried to contact customer care and the service machanic but was no use as at last i found maruti service station and this people was ready to help with double the charges and we finally agreed,  as they open cover mounted on the sterring wheel we were surprised to fing 24 and 20  sizes spanner bits left inside the cover after adjusting the stearing at the service center in India Garage and the vast part it was Clutch failure which was not noticed by any mechanic or quality people at India Garage and finally i had paid around 15,000/- and we drove to bangalore. Service was done at India garage three days before leaving to hyderabad and the bill was around 24,000/-  +  15,000/- + our strain and pain my entire family had (Instead making improving the vehicle improve the working nature of your service people and trainee them properly).

Just one lookNo comments

Exterior The xterior of scorpy is good but it could be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Regarding comfort nothing can be said, it is awesome.  No other muv/suv can be compared. Space is good but it is completely my personal opinion that  the refreshed sumo gold (which I purchased  on 23 aug  2013) have a little bit of edge  regarding space over scorpio. Features are good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As I am longdrive maniac  and have droven allmost all vehicles in long drive I can easily come into this conclusion that the scorpy is the most reliable and comfortable and mosg trusted vehicle as I have ever come accross. The engine  performance and and gear box is very very good. But  to my aspect the mileage should be better. In city traffic I get 7.5/8 and in long max 9/9.5, with ac on. Though once I got 11 in a long drive in winter. And negetive point i mentioned earlier that the clutch tends to be hard. But overall I am a very very satisfied customer of my blackpanther 2007 crde LX turbo 2wd. It has already run 105000 odd km and  i have no plan to sell it out, it is still  just like a new wife.

Good style, awesome pick up, most comfortable for long drive, easy to handle in city traffic and mmileage should be improved and clutch tends to be har

Exterior

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- apart from the front two seats, there is not enough space for the third person to sit with ease

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 It's really very bad especially the automatic version is nothing but a insult of this version. It's like illiterate villager being given a book of chemical engineering to study. I have already given my complaint in grahak sewa

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very poor response from Pradeep. He is the engineer looking after my vehicle at koncept mahindra Delhi. He has kept my vehicle for around 10 days but the problem is as it is and now ko crept is not even entertaining calls from my side. They have started saying that I need to take the vehicle from their kohl a workshop to somewhere near saritavihar which is a new one. Great attitude from the company like mahindra. This is my second Scorpio in a row and now I have decide to switch my loyalty. 

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  I think they need to come out of the shell of being the best as that has killed their skills of working at the ground level

 

 

I just liked the shape of this vehicleEverything apart from shape. Arrogance in staff of dealership, poor performance of vehicle .

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best space & comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox You can trust scorpio 2.2 engine when you would be going out for holidys.

Ride Quality & Handling Good suspension, You can use it rough as i use take it to the village's where there are no roads.

Final Words Would reccomend it to others and would love it to buy again new one.

Areas of improvement The only concern people wold have is its avg. but it didnt matter when you are going it to drive for lacs of KM safety matters not avg.

I am having SCORPIO VLX MHawk Engine.

Good for Indian Roads. You cant compare this car to Ertiga or Mobilo or Lodgy

I purchased this car as per my use as I need to drive a lot and that also in different city my yearly running got to round about 50,000 Km Plus.

Its a heavy car with good quality of material it gets good grip on highways  while driving at 120 Km/h it seems to be very smooth dont tahe dis-advantage of its power as my driver drives at 150 km/h.

Would at last say go for it Good luck and have a Safe Journey.

Best thing it got is its inside comfort. Good FeaturesOnly one cons is its mileage

I had purchased an Used Scorpio VLX 2009 model automatic transmission. I hardly drove 200 km . Since the day One the Engine light was on in my Dash. The Showroom salesman said its no problem and his mechanic did something and the light was gone for two days. Then Its was a long story. So many things happen. Ultimately i landed in TVS garage ( The official Scorpio dealer in our town) . Now after a thorough check up they said the whole gear box has to be replaced and it will cost me 3 lacs rs. I think the TVS guys forgot that it is a Used car . Now i am hunting for a rebuild gearbox which i can not find anywhere in INDIA. Now you decide ,you really want to buy a SCORPIO????? Rgds William.

I like the car very much.It's my dream car and I wan't to buy it whenever I shall get a job.It's very much costlier but it's a amazing car I have ever enjoyed. I am in love with it in my first ride

In This Price Range Its A Worship For Indian Roads Where It Give Comfort Like Horizental Swing And A Great Compilation To Enjoy Any Trip With Family . Looks Are Just Better Than Any Other This Range Car With Huge Body And Multi Functions . In My City Mahindra's Service Is Not Good But Yes , Its Good In Many Cities So Please Insure It in Yours . So If You Are Going To Purchase This One So Its One Finest Piece For Everyone ??
