Is the body on frame construction of Scorpio – N outdated vis a vis modern monocoque SUVs?
Traditionally, body-on-frame construction is identified with ruggedness and durability, and that's what the Mahindra Scorpio-N uses. In off road vehicles and pickup trucks this design is often preferred. But many of today's modern SUVs have gone to monocoque or unibody construction, which generally offers better on road handling, fuel efficiency, and space utilization. This has led to debate among some that Scorpio N isn’t as modern or refined in construction when pitted against monocoque, here, competitors. There are those who say that the body on frame design results in poorer on road comfort and handling, and others who feel it offers better durability and off road capability. The debate usually centers around whether the advantages of this traditional construction are worth the associated drawbacks in day to day use, particularly for buyers who spend most of their time in their SUV in urban areas.
I have driven both, and I really must say I don't feel that the Scorpio-N is outdated.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.
