Took my Scorpio N on a 9 day Rajasthan road trip: Key takeaways

This was my first ever 9 day long road trip. I was confident doing long distances in this as compared to my i10.

Devil's very first road trip:

Did a fantastic road trip with the ScorpioN. I had a destination wedding to attend in Chittorgarh Rajasthan so decided to club a road trip as well. Since the DEF level was at 65% and I had to cover almost 3k+ kms, decided to top it up. This was my first ever 9 day long road trip. I was confident doing long distances in this as compared to my i10. Hence decided to do Pune-Chittorgarh in a day.

This was the trip meter at the end of day 1 . My highest ever in a day:

Absolutely stunning Rajasthan roads:

Sadly one cannot visit the Pokhran site:

Visited Tanot, Longewala and Indo Pak border:

At the end of the trip. Covered 3500 kms:

Post this trip I have come mighty impressed with the ScorpioN. Each and every penny spent is worth it. I am in absolute love with this car. The way it handled all sorts of roads, speeds was just unbelievable. The confidence inspiring brakes, handling, ride comfort are all top notch. Even the passengers (3 adults and 2 kids) were supremely comfortable. During the entire trip managed to get max FE of 13.46 full tank to full tank method. This is quite impressive given that the car was heavily loaded with 4 trolley bags, 4 backpacks, 4 crates of water bottles and other things. All throughout it was sort of spirited driving with speeds definitely not in 80/90s. Also ended up paying speed fines thrice in this trip. 2 in Rajasthan and one in Navi Mumbai.

Niggles:

• DTE sometimes gets stuck with 999. This doesn't change by restarting the car. It only changes on filling up fuel again.
• Android Auto disconnection issue which was not there till this time has started to crop up in between now.
