That engine in Mahindra is a gem, people have driven over million miles in mahindras and still running
You're making it seem like mitsubishi engines only run for 100,000k kms 😂.
Japanese engines literally run the world dude.
And the mahindra engine architecture you're talking about that they started using with the Commander and the Major was stolen from the British Willis Jeeps that proved bulletproof reliable in the second world war.
@@Amory98 british jeeps and reliable? im crying and laughing dont get me started. They are WORSE THAN JUNK
New scorpio and xuv700 both are not known for reliability
Mahindra for that price is actually so much better than the mitsubishi. In fact, if they were both the same price, I would still choose the Mahindra.
Lol
NOPE
czcams.com/video/QVmgeBYva9o/video.htmlsi=qOTdy5iJn_0LJAk3
🫣🤣🤣
No thanks 🤣
Mahindra has all those safety tech but it doesn't put it in Australian variant before launching it their also they did miss on bench seats in Australia because in india deliveries are pilled up.. Mahindra in india is known for two things rugged safe body shell & remarkable un killable engine... Hope they put out all the gizmos they need ur market so it could be competitive from shoulder to shoulder
Uh no. The old Mahindra Scorpio scored terribly in crash tests. It's the XUV700 & the new Scorpio that have scored 5 stars.
Never buy Mahindra, is a worst car.
I have the Scorpio and Triton ... both are great.. there is nothing the Scorpio cant handle its great off road .. re the stop start .. its shit n i just keep it turned off ... both the Triton and Scorpio are tough as nails
As long as those vehicles don't move themselves, it would be better if you say something.
As an indian i had never imagined mahindra could compete with something like Mitsubishi pajero, Mahindra as a company has evolved alot.
Bsd walo hr jgh as a indian kya lga rkha h kpi achievement ya degree kya koi speciality h kya jo age lgana pdta h .. mjak bnwate ho hr jgh. Tere baap ki company h kya Mahindra tata jo defend krte rhte ho
😂 competing only bcoz of its price...
@@papertrader4797 that's the biggest advantage a new company can have bro, don't underestimate it.......
Well, it's not competing tbh😂
@@Amory98 read my words carefully, i said i never imagined it could compete 🌚, it's just evolved 🗿........
Damn, i had no idea the Pajero was this cheap in Australia. In India, the older model was double the cost of the then Scorpio (which has now been rebranded as the Scorpio Classic).
Cbu bro
My biggest gripe is the seat folding option in Scorpio. It cannot be made flat.
Actually it can. I don’t know why reviewer didn’t show in the video
Need just a small mod
You can easily remove third row by just 4 screw off
But take out the rear seats when not needed for 7 people. Very easy and then you have lots of space like in a Prado
@@benvisagie8844 Still not a flat bay like most cars do which is basic to me. I fold my seats and it should be flat, not use a spanner to remove the seats.
I drive a old Pajero swb, after 23 years the vehicle's interior still is rock solid and its just a amazing vehicle.
is it the 2nd gen or 3rd gen?
My Pajero 14 years old now 550k odo mile still kicking funtasik engine 4d56💪🏿
I would have the Mahindra over the Bitsamissing any day!
I wish Mitsubishi would come back to Indian market
Bro in India a huge price difference between both।।।
Pajero is not coming now।। But it's coasts arround 60k US dollars।।।।and Scorpio comes arround 30k us dollars
Undoubtedly Mahindra ScorpioN looks fabulous as well as interior ❤️ 🔥
Mahindra Scorpio facelift will come with Adas features like emergency braking, lane keep assistance, etc..😊😊
So what?
@@Shubham69405Those features don't need a facelift. They are available on the Indian variants
@@Shubham69405it will score better in ancap
@@I.am.beautifull. score better in ANCAP? bro it already scored 0🌟 in ANCAP 😋
@@Shubham69405 because of no adas and car is harmful for 🚸 perdistian check reports on there web
In India Scorpio N third seat folds 1 more time resulting in more boot space
01-Oct-2015 - Mahindra and Mahindra today successfully completed an acquisition of 33% in Mitsubishi Agricultural Machinery Co . The firm has now been named😊😊😊😊
No one gives a shit.
Mate... You need a good read on Mitsubishi... The company you are talking about probably has nothing in common with one making the Pajero... except the name
Mitsubishi agriculture and Mitsubishi motors are different
Thats different..Mahindra has a huge product profilio when it comes to agriculture and transportation. From a humble tractor to big trucks. So these acquisitions are to ensure they remain ahead in terms of competition from Isuzu and Tata in its home market.
They did the same with Ssanyong motors from Korea. Mahindra also owns Pininfarina. So next generation electric cars from Mahindra will look stunning.
@@meljoeIndians just wanna brag about random stuff lol. Mahindra bought out tractor companies so that they can acquire Japanese tech, bought korean companies for korean tech, they copy JEEP and Ford.
Mahindra makes tractors , trucks , suvs , electric suvs , fertilizer , pesticides , insurance, finance , housing projects , 5 star hotels , and much more..........😮😮😮😮😮
Bhai problem kya hai 2mko😂
Mahindra paise deta hai kya 2mko.
Comment krne ke liye 😂
bro Mitsubishi is also big. check what all they do. from ball pen to fighter planes to ship building to cars, to ACs..they also do it all.
Hope you got paid well for all the work you done for Mahindra. Then again, you sounded like you are already working for Mahindra
You might wanna check Mitsubishi Corporation, particularly one of their industrial company branch the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Mitsubishi manufactures almost everything. 😅 Ships, House Appliances, Industrial equipment, Fighter Jets, Passenger planes, Naval ships, rockets, Space rockets, missiles, cruise ships, etc. They also own financial institutions, power plants, and the list goes on. Mainly of Japan's military arsenals are being made by Mitsubishi.
Scorpio N is 5 star global ncap rated.
Thr fact that an Indian manufacturer is today compated to a Japanese giant is a matter of pride!😊
Pajero is a Legend in India..
Mahindra, being a pretty new player in this game, is doing quite good with the XUV 700 and the Scorpio N. Surely competing the big old players like Pajero is a difficult game no doubt, with surely more tweaks and a 3-4 facelifts with more gizmos, I think it'll be almost perfect compact body-on-frame 4wd suv
Also they should increase the production, the waiting time is clearly insane, and this can make a great opportunity for big Japanese manufacturers to deliver their cars quicker
But pajero Failed in India 💀
czcams.com/video/QVmgeBYva9o/video.htmlsi=qOTdy5iJn_0LJAk3
Mahindra is a 75 year old company lol😅
@@Abhijeet_Thakur777 India's fault, one of the best SUVs ever made.
Great comparison video carsalesAU, btw can I get to know what music 🎵 you guys have used here at 11:55 it's soothing 😌
Good to see Mahindra company in such a good position they have truely kept the jeep dna in all of there vehicles.
Price price price price... The price you pay and value you get on mahindra is more than enough. While if you can stretch further you can choose over panero, range Rover, fortuner.. Etc.
Range rover and fortuner do NOT belong in the same line.
@@Dwaxxx it' sister discovery could run over fortuner though
Why didn't you mention the soft touch brown dash in the Mahindra? Why skip that? You just pointed out the top hard plastic mentioning it as cheap but totally skipped the soft touch brown material on the dashboard. This totally ignored a very distinct and important feature which may even be a deal breaker for some people.
Lmao did you even watch the video he literally mentioned it.
@@later5117 I am talking about the soft touch on the dash, brown stitched soft material in front of the passenger. He totally did not mention it. Watch again. He did mention the brown seat but not the soft material on the dash. Pay some attention.
I should have bought the Pajero Sport, I didn't and now I have a Scorpio-n that has had a problem from day one, 5 months later no solution in sight.
It's high time for Indians to stop adding comments of no value and contain aggression under the review of Indian brands targeting international matkets. Say something if that contributes to the review or just stfu.
I am Indian and given an opportunity, I may purchase the Scorpio N in this case because it offers more value and better FE. But it is only because I prefer value at my current financial situation. Had I been wealthier, I will choose Mitsubishi.
These cars were placed in a different segment in India when the pajero sport existed. Even now the Scorpio is priced at 25 lakhs top spec while the fortuner which was comparable to the pajero sport it priced at 60. Makes a huge difference but the vfm is crazy with Mahindra
Bro in INDIA mahindra cars are more reliable than some toyota cars.... BOLERO, scorpio classic.... They are great🤗👍🏻
My pajero sport exceed is the the most capable car I've ever owned. Love my PS
As someone who wants to get one for the large towing capacity so i can carry my trailer and storage space, This is good feedback.
Is it noisy compare to prado?
Scorpio is going to take 1 or 2 more generations to rival the likes of Pajero that has been around and evolved for quite a long time. Although the battle was surprisingly close, lets pine our hopes on the next generation Scorpio which will obviously better the likes of Mitsubishi hopefully for the sheer reason that Mahindra is a quick learner.
Are you serious ?
😂😂😂... Bro Mahindra is way better, it's just they are going with low cost because they are still competing with the market already captured by others.
@@rajeev3686way better? Tell me you didnt watch the video without telling me. Cut the excessive nationalism
@@notagain2856The Indians man, it's funny how they try to push the Mahindra's credibility in every video.
What I see is Mahindra just focuses on Engine reliability & performance but not on making the car user friendly.
Australians love bench seats While Indians like captain seats. They should have made bench seats as standard.
Plus they like flat floor and the seat management is quite bad as it not folds flat as they use these vehicles as a cargo loader too.
Plus, they are not like Toyota. Toyota majorly fixes all the daily user stuff precisely, but Mahindra sells first then decides to do the improvements.
In terms of engine reliability Mahindra will give Toyota a run for it's money but the rest of the car they will poop on floor
Scorpio's handling is very good i m impressed 👏
Mahindra kept those features for the xuv700
XUV700 is a SUV cross over type right, how can it be compared with full size suv
Scorpio is great. But Pajero really has nailed the essential features. It has a power outlet ffs😂
Should have compared with XUV 7OO, $15000 is a big difference can't be categorised into same segment.
Its amazing that the Scorpio N is about as good as a Pajero sport. Nothing wrong with that. And at a better price, specifically in South Africa youre falking about R150 000 minimum.
If Mahindra Scorpio N second generation could make it possible to eliminate the cons (atleast major ones) which I think they will as they're constantly listening to the feedback , it will be more fantastic machine! Only thing is next generations will take atleast 4 years to come at the earliest.... Btw I love Pajero... Sad that it's not available in India....
Looks like the Scorpio still needs to evolve for off roading. Looks like there's still a gap in the market for a budget offroader such as a vehicle that blends the Sorpio and the GVM Tank. Mahindra can carry more than a box of tissues but the Tank can wheel off road. Thanks for the content.
Yep ! Need to evolve for off-roading but not as compared to pajero sports .
Wish we would get the Thar like in India.
@@ShubhoBose what THAR like ...the whole THAR is in India
@@himrao7366 Fair call, I was just thinking about the cost aspect. Cheers
mahindra are basically off roaders, wat ru talking abt i took mahindra recently on hilly off roading 😂😂
I don't know about pajero but safety wise scorpion n is better than any other international car and it is very good safety wise also
Too many active safety techs removed from the Mahindra so not really that safe for Australian roads
@13:41 bro did he say Forward Drive SUVs?? Ayyo!! Scorpio and Pajero both are Real Wheel Drives.
He said "four wheel drive" not "forward drive"
Walk through for the kids to the back row , will certainly be used all the time. The N has the looks while the Mits have not. Smart comp. Thanks!
You're comparing Mahindra Scorpion with the Mitsubishi Pajero !!!???? Why don't you compare bananas with oranges!?
idiots say chef to make treat a patient
Good review
In India taxes are different for different lengths and engine size of a car.
So a sub 4 metre car gets less taxed than larger than 4 metres that's why most of India adopted cars are sub 4 meter and low engine capacity.
Ankit Bhaiya ye gaadi char meter se chhoti nahi hai. Kya samband hai is comment ka is video se?
I hope Mahindra releases the Thar at Australian market one day. You folks are in for ride if that happens. It’s actually so much better than Scorpio N on off roads. Thars are known to tackle whatever terrain India offers and come back safely.
Lets see what Mitsubishi could have done in HT tires like Mahindra did
I m from India
Pajero is far better than scorpio in terms of quality
Aate hi honge tumhe desh drohi ghosit karne 😂
Provide rationale
If I'm in Australia I'll buy pajero sport❤ anyday
Red colour pajero was local Mafia car decade ago.
Went extinct now
wow i wish in our country there's a blue montero/pajero sport
Definately worth spending a little more for the Pajero Sport Exceed for it's full digital dash display, full 360 cams & upgraded sound system.
Pajero is the Samurai ❤
Mahindra engines are super reliable
But they are known to put too much features in their cars for bling , sometimes with not much thought
Early xuv model had the clock in the music system separate from the clock on the dashboard
Mahindra remain in a difficult position in Australia. It has always been so. Australian dealerships are unlikely to take a reduction in profits! Wait and see.
Pure review 🚀
what about the Ssanyong Rexton? It is more budget friendly than the mitsubishi
Pajero for me considering Mahindra Scorpio only has 0 Ancap Safety Rating
Mahindra gives ADAS in XUV 700 it needs to give it to scorpioN too..
Pajero Sport isso awesome
what mahindra compared to mitsubhi what a moment to honor thankyou australia
Pajero is a legend.
i remember comparing scorpio with tata safari and other but never with pajero or endevour or fortuner
now scorpio is getting better can be compared to pajero
Mahindra ❤💪
5 star gncap safety rating for the N.
It means nothing in australia.
Scorpio - great off roader and value for money. The only downside is that it is not practical with regards to no of seats and third row practicality.
I will buy Scorpio when Mahindra fixes this key issue.
If scorpio is comparing with one of the best suv that is an appreciation for Mahindra
The pajero sport is definitely not “loud and rattly” in terms of the engine
When compare to mahindra it does. The grunt is pretty evident
Indian version of scorpion gets the adas with 5star level safety
Those who want to see mahindra extreme all road condition test they can see by scearching Mahindra Proving ground. The proving gorund car test is great they are showing every car test which other brands hide from customers.
sir land criser mistubishi pajero are incredibly good suvs but Mahindra has done a very good job
Mahindra
In the Passenger Vehicle segment (which includes UVs, cars and Vansvans), the company sold recorded an annual sale of 359,253 vehicles (growth of 59%). Exports for the month were at 2,115 vehicles, and the company sold 5,697 units of 3-wheelers in March 2023.😊😊😊😊
What are you doing, my man? 😂... They don't care about that.
Is mahindra giving you anything for free. Why this fanboy stuff and free promotion. If its good, people will buy
@@maroonedmaniacthat's called bootlicking
Outside of india, Mahindra need to pay people to even consider their cars
Its obvious that pajero is better than scorpion
But in terms of value for money scorpio n wins the game, of course its lacking some features but its not like that we need those features without those features the car can be driven with absolute no cause. if u have a tight budget, can adjust with those missing features, i would suggest to go with scorpion
15000$ makes a huge difference
Put free wheeling hubs on that mahindra. Manual ones. Ive been stuck because of those
Scorpio ❤
Unfair comparison. Both are too different.
Isn't the pajero 2 classes higher than the pajero ?
In India Scorpio costs around 25L and the pajero is around 48-50L that's almost double
Mahendra Scorpio best car for family and off road ❤
7:44 Excuse me! Mahindra Scorpio N have 5 star GLOBAL NCAP rating.
yes, but they are talking about ANCAP rating, which is specific to Australia and NZ. And it's more stringent than GNCAP. And none of Mahindra cars have ANCAP certification so far.
Too many active safety techs removed from the Australian Mahindras
@@notagain2856 By the way, this week the ANCAP rating for Mahindra Scorpio came out, and it scored the lowest possible value of Zero. The Global NCAP does not mean that much here.
Mahindra Scorpio is a 5 star safety vehicle..you are wrong❤❤❤
bro, mahindra has Global NCAP rating. They are talking about ANCAP rating, which is specific to Australia. And Mahindra does not have it. ANCAP rating system is more stringent than Global NCAP.
@@avghosh 👍
Ye bakchodi idhar mat karo. Tujhe kya laga Australian car market mai sabhi tincan hai? Udhar most of the cars Indian brand cars se safe hai 😂
@@Shubham69405bakchodi to tum pel rehe ho...sehi se baat nehi karna aata ? Gore ke chode .
5 Star works when you get hit by something. Safety feature work when you're about to hit by something. Both are totally different.
I love Scorpio n❤
how winner..bcz have Price gaap..with both vehicles😊
Indian 🇮🇳 brands provide much better qaulity in very offordable range ❤❤🔥🔥🔥 it's real
Make a video on Tata Safari facelit
They dont even know if that brand exist😅😅😅
Mahindra scorpio being compared with legendary pajero is just like wow
Mahindra is more value for money ❤
You should compare India's 2 most popular rival SUVs
Tata Safari vs XUV 700
We indians love to watch their comparison 😅
Wrong comparison... Ofc Pajero is much better in every context...
But then if you watch the video, it's really not better in *all* aspects.
Mahindra ScorpioN🔥..
scorpio
Enough money= Mitsubishi
Less money = Mahindra
The difference of price 15000 au dollar
That is a significant difference
As a Indian i really liked the Pajero Sport.. About safety concerns about Scorpio i think australians are disciplined drivers, aswell as they may have good roads compared to india.. I dont think safety related downsides would matter that much in australia. 😃
Mitsubishi for me - stronger engine, more forward gears, much more usable cargo bay area, greater towing capacity, bigger fuel capacity, no DEF, versatile transfer case, and better ground clearance. Engine may be gruff but all the serviceable bits are within easy reach and this engine is a proven power plant.
Mahindra engines are also well proven over the decades
@@alankritkumar7823 why u indians do this???? its like u guys r from mahindra bots
so you dont have idea about reliability and toughness of mahindra 😄😄😄
@@himrao7366 I have zero experience with Mahindra, but from what you and other people are saying, it sounds like Australians have a viable alternative with Mahindra,
mistubishi engine not reliable like mahindra ..mahindra known for only suv and engine reliability
Bit surprised that Mahindra didn't put ADAS in aussie version.
Removed it after World Cup final
😂😂@@RajSingh-yd8ue
Seems Mahindra has given special package for many Aussie CZcamsrs by observing this absurd and obvious drama
That’s was I was thinking,typical Indians
@@dimuthsenanayake2091glad i am not the only one to notice the annoying indian keyboard warriors
Hows that 0 star ANCAP safety rating looking on the Mahindra now.
The lack of active safety is fine. The poor structural safety is inexcusable.
In five years Mahindra will trump many well known brands. They are working hard towards it.
There is s a newer Mitsubishi Pajero model available worldwide...But Well done to Mahindra..
No competition.
Why Australian people want off-roader?
Australia is good country in terms or road right?
I saw few vlogs of Australia good road in even Villages
Mahindra have given what matters more
Pajero should be manufactured in India for competitive price
Watching MAHINDRA's comparison with Mitsubishi really got me thinking
Is really Mahindra THAT GOOD
