Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Scorpio Diesel Bulletproof is a robust and secure vehicle that combines the ruggedness of the Scorpio with advanced armouring features. From my perspective, this vehicle is a standout for those who require high-level security without compromising on the driving experience. The Scorpios powerful 2179 cc diesel engine, producing 140 bhp and 320 Nm of torque, ensures it remains peppy and capable even with the added weight of armouring. The smooth diesel AT transmission and refined NVH levels make it a comfortable drive both in the city and on highways. However, the thicker A-pillars and added armour do create some blind spots, which drivers need to be cautious about. Overall, its an excellent choice for those needing a secure and reliable SUV, especially for military officials, security personnel, or anyone requiring enhanced protection.

Price

The pricing for the Mahindra Scorpio Diesel Bulletproof varies based on the armouring package chosen. The Executive kit, which includes bulletproof glass, fireproof fuel tank, and real-time tracking, is priced around Rs 12.67 lakh over the base vehicle cost. The Premium kit, adding features like run-flat tyres, costs approximately Rs 16.07 lakh, while the VVIP kit, with additional blast-proof carpet and power windows, is priced at around Rs 18.33 lakh. Ex-showroom prices for the base Scorpio can range from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, depending on the trim. On-road prices, including the armouring kits, can range from Rs 18 lakh to Rs 25 lakh or more, depending on the state and local taxes. These prices make the bulletproof Scorpio a significant investment but one that offers unparalleled security.

Latest Updates

Monday, 19 April 2021 06:01 PM Mahindra has been testing a bulletproof version of the Scorpio, labeled as Army Trial, which is intended for the exclusive use of defence forces. This prototype features bulletproof exterior panels, sealed windows made of bulletproof material, and other advanced security features. I think this is a significant step in enhancing the vehicles utility for high-risk environments.

Tuesday, 20 April 2021 12:47 AM Mahindra Defence Systems Limited (MDS) recently bagged a contract from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) worth Rs 1,056 crore to manufacture Armoured Light Specialist Vehicles (ALSV) for the Indian Army. This contract highlights Mahindras expertise in producing armoured vehicles, including the bulletproof Scorpio.

Wednesday, 09 April 2014 09:04 PM The bulletproof Mahindra Scorpio is available in three variants: Executive, Premium, and VVIP.

I believe these options provide a range of security solutions tailored to different needs.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 08:34 PM When it comes to mileage, the Mahindra Scorpio Diesel Bulletproof is expected to deliver around 10-12 kmpl in city driving and up to 15 kmpl on highways, though these figures can vary depending on the driving conditions and the weight of the armouring. While the added weight of the armour does impact fuel efficiency, the Scorpios diesel engine is generally economical. For those concerned about running costs, the Scorpio remains a viable option due to its robust build and long-term reliability, which can offset the slightly lower mileage.
