Re: Mahindra Scorpio facelift spotted testing. EDIT: Launched at Rs. 9.97 lakhs Drove the S11. My impressions -
# The new engine’s grunt, refinement can be felt.
# The GB is good but engaging reverse requires more than a firm hand.
# Brakes are bigger but I couldn’t gauge as to how much improved they are.
# Suspension is good in absorbing road irregularities. It is absorbent. I liked this much more than anything else.
# The dashboard is same and the gearbox area has storage for your mobile phone.
# Absolutely same hard plastics and absolutely no storage anywhere (as it was earlier). Same gates and the same flimsy door handle.
Feels as a new, improved Scorpio to drive. Desirable, not yet? Let Mahindra improve the interiors and overall quality/finesse. Just have a look at Storme’s gates/dashboard, the rear boot area, the hatch’s inside. Improve them M&M. Maybe in the next iteration. As of now my 4WD, S10 would suffice. |
