Mahindra had recently introduced the Intelli-Hybrid technology in the 2.2-litre Scorpio which is sold across the country except for Delhi and NCR region. However, this time around the market leader in the utility vehicle segment has introduced the Intelli-Hybrid Technology in the Scorpio with a 1.99-litre mHAWK engine for Delhi and NCR. Infused with mild hybrid technology, the new Scorpio is available at a starting price tag of Rs 9.35 lakh.
The Scorpio with mild hybrid technology has attracted a concessional Value Added Tax (VAT) of 5 per cent in Delhi which translates to a benefit of about Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000 for the customer, as per the variant purchased. The Scorpio in Delhi and NCR region is powered by a downsized 1.99-litre mHAWK engine that generates about 120bhp of power. The new technology claims to reduce fuel consumption by up to 7 per cent.
The Scorpio Intelli-Hybrid from Mahindra is offered in the variants - S4, S4+, S4+ 4wd, S6+, S8, S10-2WD (manual transmission) and S10- 4WD (manual transmission).
