BEST SUV till 2013 its LION-Just BUY

Ibought it in 2003 10 years still LION on road.Over the years, Mahindra has kept improving scorpio with every new variant and the 2009 mighty muscular is by far the best. There are lot of new additions like new engine which is more powerful, ABS, 2DIN Audio system, better suspension, etc etc.

The earlier 2.6 crde engine has been discontinued and has been replaced by 2.2 mHawk. It is much better and quieter than  the earlier one. The seats are very comfortable and body hugging. The 2 DIN stereo looks nice and makes the dashboard look even more plush. All together, the interiors are very upscale. Though Mahindra can very well afford to improve the quality of plastics.

I was given the option of VLX, SLE and LX. All are with mHawk engine. I chose SLE with ABS. Features like rain sensors, auto headlamps are not available in SLE but I can do without them.

Pricing of scorpio is its strongest point. it is very competitive. The LX is 7.2 lakhs and SLE is 8.2 lakhs. It is comparable to c-segment categories like SX4, Honda City and Hyundai Verna. This will make sedan buyers also consider this value for money SUV.

Compared to competitors like Innova and Safari, scorpio has much better road presence and durability. Scorpio is much more reliable on rough roads. Safety wise, Mighty Muscular Scorpio is great improvement because now it has ABS in middle category as well.

Scorpio has seen 10 years of back to back success and has a lot in it to continue for a long time.
