Is the Supro CNG's bi fuel system a gimmick or does it really offer a real advantage?
27 December 2024 10:39
It's a smart transitional technology, I think. The switch to CNG is less daunting for new users as CNG infrastructure is still being developed in many areas and having a petrol backup. It's also helping push adoption of cleaner fuels.
Does the Mahindra Supro Ambulance really suit Indian road conditions?
27 December 2024 10:28
I can attest that the Supro Ambulance is surprisingly capable as someone who has driven it in city and rural settings. A huge plus about its compact size is that I've squeezed through gaps in urban traffic that would leave larger ambulances stuck. The suspension works okay, bouncing away larger potholes though you can feel road bumps out on the rural roads.
What is the Supro Ambulance's equipment compared to international standards?
27 December 2024 10:28
I have to disagree. The Supro's equipment feels outdated to me because I have worked with ambulances in the UK. It doesn't leave room for a proper cardiac monitor, or advanced airway management tools. Transport is fine, but true emergency care isn't.
Is the limited space of the Supro Ambulance made up for by its fuel efficiency?
27 December 2024 10:28
Both of you are right, but it really depends on context. The Supro is less efficient in urban areas with lots of hospitals. That extra range could be the difference between a patient in a rural area being stranded, or being able to reach them.
What does the Supro Ambulance's affordability mean for rural healthcare access?
27 December 2024 10:28
I've seen an interesting trend: some areas use the Supro as a first responder, and if the situation is critical, they have agreements with the surrounding towns to call in more advanced ambulances. The tiered response system it’s creating is quite effective.
In extreme weather, how does the Supro Ambulance handle?
27 December 2024 10:28
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.
Is the body on frame construction of Scorpio – N outdated vis a vis modern monocoque SUVs?
27 December 2024 10:03
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.
Is the Scorpio-N's interior too utilitarian for the competition?
27 December 2024 10:03
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.
Is the Scorpio-N too big to use in cities?
27 December 2024 10:03
I drive a Scorpio N daily in Mumbai and, honestly, it’s not as bad as you’d think it is. Yes, it’s large, but the steering is light and the cameras make a big difference in tight situations.
Do the Scorpio-N’s ADAS features actually make sense in Indian driving conditions?
27 December 2024 10:03
Being able to have the ADAS features at least gives me a peace of mind when I’m driving and family. It’s worth having that extra layer of safety, even if they’re not perfect.
Is the 4XPLOR system of the Scorpio-N actually useful or just marketing hype?
27 December 2024 10:03
I think it's a bit of both. Mahindra's marketing oversells the system, but the system does work. It won’t make the Scorpio-N into a hardcore off roader, but it does make it more capable than your average SUV. It's up to the buyer if that is worth the price.
Is the fact that the Scorpio Classic is not an automatic a big deal?
27 December 2024 09:51
It depends on your use case, I think. The manual is great for enthusiasts — and rural drivers. However, because there is no auto option, urban families that are looking for a comfortable SUV might simply opt for other brands. This might be costing Mahindra a big chunk of potential buyers.
Does the Scorpio Classic deserve its price tag?
27 December 2024 09:51
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.
Is the Scorpio Classic still the classic in the age of modern crossovers?
27 December 2024 09:51
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.
Is the Scorpio Classic's infotainment system a deal breaker?
27 December 2024 09:51
Well, I think it really depends on what you are using the Scorpio for. However, if that’s mainly for off roading or work purposes, the basic infotainment is fine. For daily commuters or families, it's a big miss. This aspect should have been put more effort by Mahindra.
How does the Scorpio Classic fare as an offroader?
27 December 2024 09:51
It's a mixed bag for me. It's comfortable enough around town. On long highway drives, I start to notice that the shortcomings start to show, however. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. Mahindra still has some work to do in this department, I think.
Does the Marazzo's unique cooling system actually make any difference for the passengers?
27 December 2024 09:39
I’ve ridden in one during peak summer and it makes a difference. It doesn’t just blast from a few vents, the air is more evenly distributed. It was definitely more comfortable than other MPVs I’ve been in.
Is the Marazzo's body on frame with front wheel drive a smart compromise, or a weird halfway house?
27 December 2024 09:39
That's a smart move for Mahindra. It's a chance to get some of their SUV tech back, while still making a family hauler that's comfortable. This saves on development costs and it provides them with a unique selling point.
Is the Marazzo's 4 star Global NCAP rating a game changer for safety in the MPV segment?
27 December 2024 09:39
It’s 4 stars, which is good, but let’s not pretend it’s revolutionary. These days plenty of cars get 5 stars. It's not something to brag about, it should be the minimum standard.
Is the Marazzo's shark inspired design actually cool? Or just a gimmick?
27 December 2024 09:39
The shark design I think actually works pretty well. In a segment full of boring boxes on wheels, it gives the Marazzo some character. Of course, it’s still really obviously an MPV, but at least Mahindra tried to make it look interesting.
