Should Creta buyers wait for the Scorpio-N?
The new Mahindra Scorpio-N is one of the most awaited cars of 2022. It is a D-segment SUV by its size but will come with a pricing of a C-segment SUV. The C-segment is led by the Hyundai Creta. With pricing expected to be close to the Creta, there is confusion amongst buyers about whether to buy the Creta or wait for the Scorpio-N. So in this article on Creta vs Scorpio-N, we have compared which one might be a better pick for you and whether you should wait for.
Design
The Mahindra Scorpio-N is definitely going to be a big car. We already know that it will be equal to now-discontinued Ford Endeavour’s size. Since it will be sitting around the Creta’s segment, it will feel bigger than this car as well as any other SUV in its segment. So, for people who like big SUVs and have a limited budget, the Scorpio-N might impress them. With the Scorpio being a bigger car, it definitely will be able to offer more cabin space than the Creta. Also, the recent teaser has claimed that the new will offer the highest seating position in its class. With this, buyers will be able to enjoy a commanding stance while driving the upcoming Scorpio-N. The new Scorpio will also be made available in both six and seven-seater options whereas the Creta is a five-seater car. With this, the Scorpio will suit buyers with bigger families.
Creta vs Scorpio-N – Features
Hyundai Creta is very well-known for the features it packs in. Mahindra is also in the talks due to the features they have offered in the XUV700. It is the most feature-load SUV in its space. We are expecting the Scorpio-N to borrow some features from the XUV700. So, the Scorpio-N might also be the show-stopper in terms of the features. However, it would miss out on features like the panoramic sunroof and ADAS. The Hyundai Creta has its unique set of features like panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brake with auto hold, Blue Link connected car tech, etc. What do you prefer in terms of features will decide what car you pick for yourself.
Creta vs Scorpio-N – Off-roading capabilities
The Scorpio has always been known for its rugged nature. Since the Scorpio-N is coming based on a ladder-on-frame chassis, it is expected to shine where the road would end. It is expected to be a very capable off-roader since it is sharing most of its mechanical bits with the Thar. Moreover, with a 4X4 option, the capabilities of the Scorpio would definitely be enhanced. If you live in a remote area and tackle rough roads regularly, Scorpio N might be the SUV for you.
Should Creta buyers wait for the Scorpio-N?
The Hyundai Creta has been the segment-king for a very long time now. The car has long been known for offering impressive features that attract a lot of buyers. Now, with the new Scorpio-N incoming, buyers would get a refreshed option to choose from. The Mahindra SUV will be a much more capable off-roader and is also expected to offer many impressive features. Also, it is expected to borrow engines from the Thar and the XUV700. With this, it would be another powerful car in its price point along with both its siblings. So, yes, you should definitely wait for the new Scorpio as it could turn out to be a better value-for-money prospect for some buyers over the Hyundai Creta.
