New Mahindra Scorpio To Score 1 Star Safety Rating?

Just a few days back, Global NCAP released the crash test results of 3 popular cars in India. Among these, the Mahindra Bolero Neo scored a disappointing score of just 1-star. The SUV is based on the old Mahindra Scorpio which had scored 0-star. So if the Bolero Neo scored 1-star ratings, can we expect a similar score for the Mahindra Scorpio Classic? But why Classic? Well, the new ScorpioN has already been tested and has scored an impressive 5-star safety rating. So let’s talk more on Mahindra Scorpio Safety.

Mahindra Scorpio Safety – Old Scorpio VS Bolero Neo

Before getting to the Mahindra Scorpio Classic, let’s understand the scores of old Scorpio and Bolero Neo. Also, do note that the old Scorpio, Bolero Neo, and the Scorpio Classic, share the same body structure. Talking about the old Scorpio, the SUV tested was equipped with no airbags, hence, it scored 0-safety ratings. Whereas the Bolero Neo comes with two airbags and so had a better result. Also, the Bolero Neo scored ratings on the side impact test. For the frontal impact, the structure was so poor that it failed to secure passengers. That said, with airbags, the side collision was better and gained 1-star ratings.

Scorpio Classic 

Talking about the Mahindra Scorpio Classic, the SUV comes with two front airbags. That said, just like the Bolero Neo, the Scorpio Classic could also score 1-star ratings. Again, the score will be achieved during the side impact test and we can expect a similar overall score of 20.26 out of 34. Although it will score 1-star rating in future, the issue of bending A-pillars and collapsing roof will continue as it is the same body on all three mentioned SUVs. So even though the SUV scored 1-star ratings, the overall body shell is unfortunately unstable.

Apart from the Bolero Neo and the Scorpio Classic, other Mahindra SUVs have done fantastic jobs in safety.

All the new Mahindra SUVs not only get solid build quality but even the safety equipment have been improved. They come with 6-Airbags, ESP, traction control, and more. In fact the XUV700 also comes with advanced safety features like Level-2 ADAS functionality.
