About

The Mahindra Scorpio Diesel VLX 4x4 is a versatile and rugged SUV designed to handle various driving conditions. It comes equipped with a powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 130 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The vehicle offers a commanding driving position, comfortable front seats with individual armrests, and features like cruise control, automatic climate control, and height-adjustable driver seats. The Scorpio also boasts a spacious interior, although the rear leg space is somewhat limited. With its updated chassis and improved handling, it remains a favorite among those who value power, durability, and off-road capability. However, it lacks some premium touches inside the cabin, such as soft-touch padding and better-quality interior materials. Despite this, the Scorpios overall package makes it a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable and feature-rich SUV in India.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mahindra Scorpio Diesel VLX 4x4 is a robust and dependable SUV that has garnered a loyal following in India. While it excels in terms of power and handling, particularly in city traffic and off-road conditions, it has some notable drawbacks. The vehicles tall stance and commanding position make it a delight to drive, especially with its light steering and responsive controls. However, issues such as the lack of airbags in older models, rattling seats and doors, and poor night driving visibility are significant concerns. The ride quality, though improved, still leaves room for improvement, especially on uneven roads and during sudden lane changes. Despite these hitches, the Scorpio remains a popular choice for its toughness, features like cruise control and automatic climate control, and its overall value for money.

Price

The Mahindra Scorpio, particularly the VLX 4x4 variant, falls within a competitive price bracket in India. As of the current market, the ex-showroom price for the Scorpio ranges from approximately Rs. 13.62 lakh to Rs. 17.42 lakh, depending on the specific trim and features. When you factor in the on-road price, which includes additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other taxes, the total can go up to around Rs. 18-22 lakh. This pricing makes the Scorpio a viable option for those seeking a powerful and feature-rich SUV without breaking the bank. However, its crucial to compare prices across different dealerships and consider any ongoing offers or discounts to get the best value.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 21 November 2024 09:42 PM Mahindra has announced a price hike for the Scorpio-N, including the Diesel VLX 4x4 variant, with prices increasing by Rs. 70,000 to Rs. 80,000 depending on the variant. This change is part of the updates planned for the second half of 2024. I think this hike might affect the vehicles competitiveness in the market.

Sunday, 04 February 2024 12:36 AM The Mahindra Scorpio-N Diesel VLX 4x4 has seen some feature tweaks in the 2024 model, including the removal of AdrenoX Connect and built-in Alexa compatibility from the infotainment system. However, it still retains features like auto wipers, auto headlamps, and a dual-zone climate control. I believe these changes are a mixed bag for tech-savvy buyers.

Thursday, 01 February 2024 10:27 PM Mahindra achieved a significant milestone by producing 100,000 units of the Scorpio-N since its launch in June 2022. This includes the Diesel VLX 4x4 variant, which has been popular for its robust performance and 4x4 capabilities. I think this milestone underscores the vehicles enduring appeal.

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 12:32 PM The Mahindra Scorpio-N Diesel VLX 4x4 was involved in a controversy in March 2023 when a video showed water entering the vehicle through the sunroof during a test under a waterfall. This incident sparked a social media debate about the vehicles water ingress issues. I believe such incidents can impact consumer trust.
