In extreme weather, how does the Supro Ambulance handle?

Yeah but I've had some scary moments when there's high winds. Being light weight makes it feel unstable on highway especially while passing trucks. In those conditions, I worry about patient safety.

You both forget the heat. I’ve found the AC doesn’t do a good job cooling the patient area during peak summer. When you're trying to keep patients stable in 40+ degree weather, it's a real issue.

It's a hilly area I work in, and the Supro's winter performance has been surprisingly good. The heater works good and does better on icy roads than I thought. Tires are the key and you must drive carefully.

Now, let’s get into the equipment. The Supro is pretty compact and I’ve found that actually helps with keeping the interior temperature more stable. That means less space to heat or cool, which means the systems have less work to do.

I think we’re missing maintenance. With the Supro, you have a simpler systems that enables you to keep running no matter what the weather is like. I’ve seen fancy ambulances sidelined by complex electrical issues caused by storms.

We have taken our Supros in my region and added extra insulation and upgraded the climate control. What this shows is that you can actually adapt these vehicles to handle pretty extreme conditions with some tweaks.
Is the body on frame construction of Scorpio – N outdated vis a vis modern monocoque SUVs?

I have driven both, and I really must say I don't feel that the Scorpio-N is outdated. I like the solid, planted feel of a body on frame over some floaty monocoques.

It's definitely a trade-off. While the Scorpio-N is more rugged, you do notice the difference in handling over something like the XUV700. It is not outdated, it is just different.

As a city driver I find the body on frame construction a bit overkill. It helps the car feels heavier, less agile in traffic. For daily use, I’d like a monocoque.

What makes the Scorpio-N special is the body on frame. It’s not a car like crossover but it’s not trying to be one. If you want that, then buy something else. This is for the people who really want a proper, tough SUV.

I believe Mahindra has managed the pros and cons well. The new Scorpio N is a better handling car than the old one, and still has the benefits of a body on frame.

It's all about perspective. It might feel outdated if you’re coming from a sedan. However, if you have driven older SUVs, you will appreciate that the Scorpio-N is quite refined for a body on frame vehicle.

In fact, I like body on frame construction. If something goes wrong, it's easier and cheaper to repair, which is good for long term ownership.
Is the Scorpio-N's interior too utilitarian for the competition?
27 December 2024 10:03
The Scorpio-N's interior, however, I actually like. And that's fine; it's not trying to be a luxury car. It feels like durable materials and it's easy to clean after a muddy off road trip.
Is the Scorpio-N's interior too utilitarian for the competition?
27 December 2024 10:03
With something as basic as the Scorpio N interior feels, compared to something like the Hyundai Creta. I just wish they’d tried a little bit harder to make it feel special.

For what the Scorpio-N is – a rugged SUV – the interior is fine. If you want soft touch materials all over the place, you're not in the right vehicle.

Mahindra missed an opportunity here, I feel. While they could have kept the rugged feel but made it feel more premium. The new Thar is a good example of this balance when it comes to the interior.

I prefer the Scorpio N's approach as someone who has had both 'premium' and utilitarian SUVs. It ages better than fancy but fragile interiors, and there’s less to go wrong in the long run.

27 December 2024 10:03
My biggest gripe with the Scorpio-N is the interior. It's okay but they should be charging more for what they are offering. Here, it seems like Mahindra cut corners to keep costs down.
Is the Scorpio-N's interior too utilitarian for the competition?
27 December 2024 10:03
I don’t think people are getting the point. The Scorpio-N’s interior is all about function over form. It’s not attempting to contend with pseudo-luxury crossovers.
