What’s Impressive About The Mahindra Scorpio-N Petrol Automatic Luxury SUV
.
As with the Thar and the XUV7OO - M&M has taken things to the next level with the Mahindra Scorpio-N.
.
Driving impressions
.
The Scorpio-N feels like a more hunkered-down 140PS Scorpio. I felt right at home. I could very easily slot into drive and just go as if it's my own vehicle. Tight parking spots did not bother me one bit and I'm not a parking sensor or camera user, but it's easy to park. The direct steering, engine response, and the way the vehicle darts through traffic are all exactly like how you expect a Scorpio to be.
.
The Scorpio-N petrol is eerily quiet, you'd think it's an EV till you floor it and you hear a growl from underneath. I completely forgot that it's an electronic power steering apart from when parking at low speeds where it's super light.
.
The AT and mStallion motor are trigger-happy if prodded, but with smooth throttle input, it goes along at a traffic-friendly speed with minimal brake use. Brakes are sharp but just right for a tall vehicle, anything more and it would be uncomfortable.
.
The turn indicator sound is very nice, stereo sounded like how Sony used to be before the subwoofer culture came in, so it's clear and doesn't hurt your ears. I noticed that the side glass is thinner now but has a good amount of tinting. You can put a garland on the grill and it will block the front camera adequately; given the height of the bonnet that camera is good to have. The horn pad is not hard and the horn is of the Winstone type.
.
Just a reminder, the XUV700 is the better urban vehicle. There is very much the old Scorpio underneath all those creature comforts on the inside and it suits those who need a BOF utility vehicle. Just that it's now more comfortable and silly fast.
.
PS: I sat in the third row of XUV7OO and N back to back, there isn't much difference.
