Rs 10 lakh SUV to be different than Creta, Seltos, Kushaq
When this SUV was first launched in 2002, it gave Indian buyers a taste of ruggedness and muscular road presence. The SUV is still popular for its stance and road presence. The SUV we are discussing here is the Mahindra Scorpio. In this article, we will discuss the new generation of Mahindra Scorpio and how this Rs 10 lakh SUV will be different from the Creta, Seltos and Kushaq.
Rs 10 lakh SUV – Rear Wheel Drive
The new-generation Mahindra Scorpio is expected to be built on the same platform as the Thar. The new-generation Scorpio will be a rear-wheel drive. Currently, Mahindra Bolero Neo, Thar, Scorpio, and Alturas G4 are cars offered by Mahindra that come with a rear-wheel drive. The new-generation Scorpio will also continue the legacy and come with a rear-wheel drive.
Feature Loaded SUV
The new Scorpio will come loaded with new features. Some features are to be included for the first time in a Scorpio. Dual-zone climate control, semi-digital instrument cluster, an electric sunroof, premium sound system could be some of them.
Other features like projector headlamps, DRLs, LED tail lamps, rear AC vents, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, push start-stop, keyless entry, connected car technology, etc. will also be included. This new avatar of Scorpio will also have some remarkable safety features like six airbags, ABS+EBD, traction control, ESP including a few others.
Rs 10 lakh SUV – Specifications
Mahindra Scorpio is currently 4456mm in length, 1820mm in width, 1995mm in height with a wheelbase of 2680mm, and ground clearance of 180mm. The new generation Mahindra Scorpio is expected to see its dimensions improve with the new car being a bit longer and taller.
The new-generation Mahindra Scorpio is expected to come powered by both petrol and diesel engine options. A 2.0-litre mStallion 150TGDi petrol engine that produces 150bhp & 300Nm of torque mated to a six-speed manual & six-speed automatic transmission is expected. The 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine from the Mahindra XUV700’s MX variants is expected to power the new-generation Scorpio as well. This produces 153bhp and 360Nm of torque mated to a six-speed manual & six-speed automatic transmission.
Pricing
After looking at the way Mahindra placed its XUV700 and priced it at such a lucrative position, we expect a similar move from them concerning the new generation Scorpio as well. Mahindra is expected to price this seven-seater SUV under Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
