The country’s popular utility vehicle manufacturer Mahindra has finally launched the new-gen Scorpio Intelli-Hybrid at a starting price of Rs 9.74 lakh (Ex-showroom, Navi Mumbai). The new-gen Scorpio is available in the following variants which are powered by a 2.2 Litre mHAWK engine: S4, S4+, S4+ 4wd, S6+, S8, S10-2WD (Manual Transmission) and S10-4WD (Manual Transmission).
The new technology helps in reducing fuel consumption by up to 7 per cent by assisting the engine with electric power during acceleration, automatically switching the engine off while the vehicle is stationary (start-stop) and re-using brake energy, which would otherwise be wasted, to charge the battery. Mahindra claims that the new Scorpio is the country’s first SUV to offer mild hybrid capability. Moreover, the automaker boasts about offering voice messaging system, first in its class CRDe engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, the new-gen version is only available in manual transmission.
Speaking about it, Pravin Shah, President and Chief Executive (Automotive), Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, “As an organisation that places keen emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, across every process and product, we are proud to introduce mild hybrid technology on the Scorpio. By reducing fuel consumption, Intelli-Hybrid helps Scorpio owners contribute towards a cleaner and greener tomorrow.”
