Exterior
It is large and feels like th king of the road.the high bonnet and the upright A - pillars give it a butch look. the roof rails ,along with the long body give the car a grand look.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)
The scorpio has decent interiors.The seats provide good support and the car has good space.The dashboard plastics are of decent quality and the car has enough storage spaces. However the scorpios third row of seats is too bad!!it should have been replaced with front facing ones , atleast in the new gen scorpio,also the build quality could have been better as the car rattles quite a lot.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox
The scorpio comes with a 2197cc common rail diesel engine ,generating 120 bhp and 280 nm of torqe.this engine peforms decently in the city and it is really good on the highways.the fuel economy is excellent at 10-11 in the city and 17-18 on the highway.The 5 speed manual gearbox is quite easy to use but vibrates quite alot at idling@1000rpm.
Ride Quality & Handling
The scorpio deserves a B+ in this department as the ride quality is poor making it jerky and the passengers get tossed around in the cabin.The handling is also poor and there is too much bodyroll at turns and feels like a boat.
Final Words
IF butch looks are high on your list and you have a driver for yourself ,then go ahead and buy a scorpio.it is tailor made for being driver driven.
