Mahindra Scorpio N – True SUV

One of the major advantages the Scorpio N has is the true SUV characteristics. Modern SUVs like the Creta cannot compete with the Scorpio N as an SUV. The Scorpio N is based on the ladder on frame platform and is a rear wheel driven SUV. In fact it also has an option for 4WD system but even the regular version is highly capable off-roader, something which Creta misses out on. Also, the Scorpio N comes with 7-seat configuration which makes it a suitable choice for a family of more than five members. 

Features 

Hyundai Creta N Line is based on the recent Creta facelift. This, in itself, talks about how much feature loaded the SUV is. That said, even the base N8 variant which we are comparing today comes with features like dual zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps, digital instrument cluster, and a few more. The Scorpio N on the other hand does miss out on many. However, it offers basic features like LED headlamps, leatherette seats, 8-inch touchscreen system, 4-speakers, wireless Android Auto & Apple Carplay, & 6-Airbags.
