Does the Scorpio Classic deserve its price tag?
Owners and reviewers have had a discussion when it comes to the interior quality of the Mahindra Scorpio Classic. Mahindra has done some work on the cabin but many feel that the changes don’t justify buying the vehicle. Though the interior is spacious and plenty comfortable for those who need it, they also use hard plastics and the fit and finish is a decided step down from little brother, the CX3. Much of the previous generation's interior design remains, and, while it's not as dated as some rivals, some may find it dated. Points of contention so far also include the basic infotainment system and lack of certain amenities (or features), such as auto-folding mirrors. Since the Scorpio Classic is being positioned as a rugged, practical SUV, opinions are divided on whether the interior should be more durable or more luxurious, or whether Mahindra should have tried to make it feel more premium for the price tag.
For the task of a tough, no nonsense SUV I think the interior is fine. It’s not luxury car plush, but it feels durable and easy to clean. Soft touch plastics that'll wear out quickly are less important to me than that.
No way, Mahindra dropped the ball on this one. For the money they are asking, it feels like a cheap interior. That basic infotainment system, and those hard plastics? They're like they're still in 2010. With what the competition offers, I expected better.
It's a mixed bag for me. I love the seats are comfy and there is plenty of space. And then you start noticing the smaller things, like the cheap door handles and old design. It’s not bad, it just has the potential to be so much better with a few upgrades.
Guys, you’re missing the point of the Scorpio. It's designed to coddle you, not to last. After years of abuse, those hard plastics will still look good. If you want a fancy interior, buy a crossover that will fall apart in a few years.
I actually like the interior. It’s not pretending to be something it’s not. It's functional, it's spacious and it fits the Scorpio character. Could it be better? Sure. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be though. I think it's honest, and that has value.
