New Mahindra Scorpio storms the autoworld

M&M on September 25, 2014 launched the new generation Scorpio which promises to live up to the expectation of being a whole new beast.

The Scorpio facelift comes with imposing new front grille with chrome plating.

The mHawk engine makes 121 bhp of power and 320 Nm of peak torque, up from 290 Nm in the earlier version. It is mated to a brand new 5-speed transmission, which is claimed to result in better performance and fuel efficiency, and is easier to use. 

Price wise, the top-of-the-line S10 variant was compared with similar variants from Toyota Innova  and Tata Safari Storme, demonstrating that the Scorpio comes with greater features and at a lesser price.

 The new Scorpio's five variants have been priced between Rs 7.98 lakh to Rs 11.46 lakh.
