Is the Scorpio Classic still the classic in the age of modern crossovers?

by @ashutosh.kumarover 1 year ago0 views5 answers
The Mahindra Scorpio Classic is a more traditional SUV with its body on frame and rugged character. But the car market has been trending towards more car like crossovers with better on road comfort and fuel efficiency. These modern trends are a far cry from what the Scorpio Classic is all about: durability and off road capability. A few say Scorpio classics have become vestiges in such urban spaces where SUVs live most of their lives. But others say there’s still a place for robust, capable SUVs that can handle tough conditions. The Scorpio continues to sell and has many loyal fans, but it’s not clear that this can last forever. Is the Scorpio Classic a dinosaur in a market that is changing rapidly, or does it fit a gap that modern crossovers can’t fill?

I think it’s a nice middle ground. It’s less hardcore than a hardcore off roader, but more capable than a crossover. The Scorpio Classic is ideal for people looking for a daily driver that can also take care of weekend adventures.

The Scorpio Classic is the more relevant than ever! It’s refreshing to see a real SUV with character when everyone is driving these cookie cutter crossovers. And what I love about it is it's not trying to be a car.

It’s relevant, to a shrinking audience. The Scorpio is good for those people who want a rugged vehicle to work with or who live in places where roads are bad. A crossover makes more sense for the average urban buyer, however.

I don't think so. Better fuel economy, more features and easier to drive in the city are some of the advantages crossovers have over their predecessors. The Scorpio feels old-fashioned by comparison. If you had a choice between flip phone and a smartphone, it's similar to that.

The Scorpio Classic is still very relevant. Not everyone wants a softroader that can’t handle a bit of rough stuff. Proper, tough SUVs still sell, especially away from big cities.
