2022 Mahindra Scorpio N Review | On Road and 4x4 Off Road Test | evo India
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 07. 2024
- The all new Mahindra Scorpio N is here and we have tested it thoroughly over all kinds of roads. The petrol-automatic with 200bhp is tested on highways and winding roads in the Western Ghats where we rate its comfort, handling and driver confidence. Then we drive the diesel-automatic with 4x4 on a slushy rain-lashed off-road trail to rate its off-roading ability. The new Scorpio N retains the body on frame chassis and RWD with optional 4x4 but is claimed to offer best-in-class dynamics and comfort. It goes up against D-segment SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour along with mid-size SUVs like the Creta, Seltos and even the Tata Harrier and Mahindra’s very own XUV 700. Does the Scorpio have what it stakes to straddle SUV segments? And is it an authentic SUV? Editor Sirish Chandran tests the Big Daddy of SUVs to find out

Would you pick the Mahindra Scorpio-N over other so-called SUVs? Let us know in the comments below!
What else !!!!
Wheel base spell error
Yes definitely
Abso'Freakn'lutely! 🤘Wish they gave an option for 4x4 with manual transmission which will be totally worth the additional cost.
Hope This time sales of Xuv700 and Scorpio N boost up in India,Nepal,Australia and South Africa,Next Products from Mahindra should be New generation Bolero,Kuv and facelift Xuv300 and Marazzo
For 20 lakh rupees it has all the good stuff. It may not be feature loaded but it is mechanically Strong, no other car can come close to the capability of Scorpio in this price range. And that's what matters.
Well said
Proper engineering is what matters
@@sirishch rr
Service quality n customer experience compared to toyota? Bus Mahindra ispe kaam karle they ll rule the segment
Everything is ok but only doubt is reliability and quality....when compared to Toyota innova and fortuner....will scorpio n engine and body quality will meet those long term reliability aspects...???? Becoz everything will be nice for brand new car...but what is real is we drive for years and wat about resale values....that was the point i think of new scorpio n will meet those aspects with the Toyota??!!
Hi Sirish...i m following you since overdrive days last decade...now with Evo India of late got you...its been quite a journey.
you are true automobile journalist, who love automobile n has passion for it..
what to say about Scorpio N review..most authentic n genuine reviews...right from style engine chassis types seating drivers view PS ..
safety , petrol or diesel...its spot on..your passion is visible in your each line sentence or experience with glittering eyes.
i made my mind for buying Scorpio N...i was researching from 1 year n off late booked XUV 700..
i follow ur advise n cancelling for true SUV..
Like you i m automobile lover, SUV fan gor gi anywhere capacities n same time practicality for family usage, office cummute in Mumbai 80 kms a day n weekend or leaves adventure loving...thank you❤...i m your fan Sirish..keep it up.
Omg, a 38 minute review! Initially, I was skeptical but I'd not forgotten who's reviewing this. So, a wonderfully articulated review Sirish saar.
Thank you!
Thank you!
No jokes... This guy surely had great honeymoon with Scorpio beside him. The level of excitement he has shown is making me feel to own this car. Hats off to the review. Loved it.... I am watching this review again 3rd time just to laugh 🤣
That love in Sirish's eyes while reviewing the Scorpio is a level up!
We always had a soft spot for brutish SUVs like the Scorpio!
SUV's taxed at 51% (GST added in the ex-shworoom price + tax + cess +TDS + other taxes) , certainly I'm NOT that rich :(
This car is GOLD! I never thought I'd say this about Mahindra let alone Scorpio! Freakin gold! Sensible buyers will gobble this up! Fortuner and the likes are in for some serious trouble! Bye Bye Seltos/Creta/XUV700/Safari-Harrier/Hector!!
rightly said this is soo good. No matter what people say that old scorpio looks better and it has raw feel & all that. Its 2022 it was Old , utilitarian and no modern SUV buyer was looking at it. I cant think of a better upgrade than this. It has all the good stuff BOF, 4WD, Power, presence for 20ish lakh rupees. It has a few rough edges but these are small things and will be sorted out. The Road only looks better up ahead.
Well you are right about the other cars it probably rivals with but not the fortuner. History is the evedence, only a Toyota replaces a Toyota. Also to deminish other cars you mentioned they need to provide it in reasonable waiting period
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My friend actually canceled the 700 and booked Scorpion 👽👽👽
Awesome!
Id probably do the same
@@sirishch great 😂
@@evoIndia Please help.I got booking in first 25k. Don't want to spend more than 20L so need to choose between 2wd auto Z4/Z6 or 4x4 manual Z4. Very confused
Chuiyta yahi karte rahio cancel book
There are youtubers and then there are real rally drivers reviewing the cars. High quality commentary. Absolutely joy to watch @shirish.
THE BEST REVIEW I HAVE EVER SEEN. PERIOD😤
Thank you!
Thanks man!
"Amazing" review! 😉
Thanks for the mechanical info Sirish, I didn't think a car in this segment and price would have both a double-wishbone suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. Pretty amazing what Mahindra is doing mechanically.
Yeah honestly amazing what Mahindra is engineering into their SUVs
Mahindra pls bring a Big daddy pick up variant base on the new Scorpio N. Yes with a bigger heart to outshine Toyota Hilux.
That would be awesome - a new Getaway perhaps? 😍
Getaway 💪🏻
Sirish: Scorpio will take away the sales of Thar & XUV 700
Mahindra (surely be like): That's how it always was
Just my observation as I always saw more old scorpio on road then XUV 500 & Thar combined :)
@@iamakkkshay well, scorpio has been there for what some 20yrs now?
😂👍🏼
Love the new scorpio. Sirish..I could literally felt it like I was behind the wheel. Hope Mahindra would do the needful to increase its presence in the Middle East. Thar, xuv7oo and now Scorpio N are world class. We want them to be on the Int’l roads too @Mahindra 🙏
Sir ,middle East already has the actual "Baap of SUV" the Toyota FJ and landcruiser variants.
That’s a thought!
Maybe Mahindra can launch a EV Hybrid version with more features for the Arab countries...to break the market of Fortuner and Granddady...Toyota...but they have to improvize much on spaceness, flexibility , features and the length...with their vast exp on Reva and Syanyoung they should have brought pitch the EV SUV much earlier ...here...
Thanks for a great video! confused between Scorpio N Diesel & Safari..which has more comfortable ride & lower NVH?
A simple and genuine car guy who loves nothing else. Great review Sirish!
🙏🙏
kind of you my man 🙏
Is safari watching?? Time to revv . Nice review though
One of the best reviews out there for Scorpio. Fabulous! Well done EVO India
Sir you are the best among all those auto journalists and and other youtuber.
In future I will be very glad to watch the full detail review of the lower diesel variant i.e, z2 or z4
this review is great, you folks are here to stay if you continue this commitment
Subbed for the reviewer.. I’d watch more of your reviews for sure
Not to mention the brilliant level of reporting as well. Hats off to Sirish, he is inevitably the best motor reporter of recent times (by recent I mean since last 15 years). 30 mins very well spent.
Thank you! very kind of you
Dude u r so excited throughout the drive.. it says it all! A critic and a car enthusiast like u are njoying the car.
The specs and pricing of this car seem too good to be true. The comparable alternative,Fortuner is twice the price. Even if its half as reliable as the Fortuner, the Scorpio N will be a huge success.
mahindra engines are usually the most reliable well may not be as good as fortuner but they are very reliable so idt reliability is a concern as such
Scoprio is a proven Brand name. With lesser features and electronic aids than XUV it'll surely be reliable
💪🏻
What's the price sir ?
Could someone explain what this body on frame and ladder chassis is?
Best review I have seen. Watching in anticipation from Australia.
Sir good video but very long wating period fr also new faces lift safari also came can wait fr or go fr safari & wait fr new video comparison new safari scorpio 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
This is a perfect review of Scorpio N. I have seen many reviews but this is best, I like the Deep dive into platform updates chapter in video. Sirish and evo india team had done great job!
Thank you!
Sirish is one of few passionate and detailed reviewers, definately one if the best reviewer in business. Of all the reviews on you tube this is the most comprehensive and unbiased.
You made a proud owner of Z8 DAT 4wd and I must tell you, yours words really do justice to the engineering behind this beast. Thanks Sirish.
The best review video out there on new scorpio n . Sirish , my man, love to see your super emotions and superb words in btwn😆. Seeeeeend it!!!
Any vibrations while driving Scorpio n like previous Scorpio or it is good
The very first scorpio in 2002 which came with the 2609 cc chain drive engine had smaller bubble rear lamps. The tall vertical rear lamps came along with the first facelift with the 2.6 Crde engine in 2007-2008.
But yes, this new Scorpio is a fantastic vehicle. I think it will give very strong honest competition to all those other wannabe SUVs out there. Good on Mahindra. They have as always kept things honest for the consumers.
BTW you’re right about the fact that the first lot of Scorpios came with Petrol engines from Renault. But back then the differential in prices between Petrol and Diesel because of the government subsidies was so much that most people flocked to Diesel.
True
That original petrol Scorpio is super rare now
Best video of scorpion
Hands down
Sirish sir rocks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad you liked it!
Thanks 💪🏻
Chandru sir I like your great in-depth reviews. Thank you very much. Kudos to Team Mahindra especially Velusamy Sir for building such a capable beast with excellent ride quality. Vaazhga Valamudan. Jaihind! Jaya Bharatham! Vasudeva Kudumbhaham!
Good video. Class room session on body design, CG and various forces acting on the frame etc are special in this video. Thanks to EVO team for making this video with lot of details on the new Scorpio N.
Review from the heart. Kudos Sirish and Evo India.
Thank you!
Thanks for uploading this video. Is it worth spending 2.5+ lakhs more on xuv700 ax7 at petrol compare Scorpio z8 at petrol? Is the ride and handling of xuv700 exceptional compare scorpio-n? I cannot go for ax5 because of manual ac and no cc. I dont care much about adas features. I am not planning to go on off roading as well
Z4 diesel auto 2*2 has 175 bhp? Coz it says no auto for 135 bhp but in brochure it has 2*2 auto and that is 175 bhp ig
Does Scorpio N 4X4 have Indenpendent front suspension?
One hell of a review. Respect! 🙌💯🔥
Hi Sirish. Evo has tested the Z8 spec off road. Would the Z4 4wd be any less capable on this course? An off road drive of Z4 will help a whole bunch of us who would want the 4wd without the fancy gizmos.
This was the only review that gave me all the info I wanted to know about the vehicle
Is 4x4 available on Z8L diesel manual??
Loved the video.......i have no words to describe
Sirish. After I saw your review of the Thar I booked one (yeah I really did get carried away... just like you)! But now.... After your review of the Scorpio.. man!
no one covers a new car like Sirish!! Numero Uno.
Thank you!
What could be the difference between the silver grill offered in z4, z6 variants and chrome grill offered in z8 variants?
Finally we have real SUV ! The Diesel 4x4 Manual 7 seater for me ! :)
👍👍👍
Beautiful review. Truly a car enthusiast😊😊
Hi , in which variant we get 4*4
This is really Daddy of all SUV’s. Oh man real 4*4. Another Great 👍 product from Mahindra. Hats off to Team Mahindra. I’m planning to buy VIRTUS GT but but my mind is changing gradually towards this daddy. Nice content 👍
Thank you
Hi, I am lucky to get booking in first 25K however I am so confused right now. I don't want to spend more than 20L and I am struggling to choose between 2wd auto vs 4x4 manual. Evo team, Please help.
I think Mahindra has struck gold with the new Scorpio
Waiting for the comparo with the xuv700
Cool idea!
😎👍🏼
Videography is soo good❤️❤️
I have to keep adjusting the volume on all your video's as the background music is very high. Please keep it in sync with audio in future.
Apart from the fact that I love all of your reviews (plus you're hilarious), the BTS clips cracked me up really hard, especially the bee bit!🤣🤣
Most detailed and well researched review hands down 👍🏻
💪💪💪
I just wait for such enthusiasts review on this channel by Sirish ji. Because a enthusiast loves driving by heart and not by gimmicks. Spot on Sirish sir👍
Thank you
Thank you!
😍😍
Link not working, no video. Kindly fix it.
Fabulous review!
1) How is roof strength and rear impact strength and side impact strength ?
2) is whole body is corrosion resistant?
3) what is total build quality of the car?
4) what is total car quality and reliability ?
5) how good will be services support and service quality from mahindra ?
As usual sirish rocked man 🔥🔥💐
🙏
Just so freaking desirable! Amazing review.
Thank you!
👍🏼🙏
Hey sirish is the middle row in captain seats variant slide forward to adjust 3rd row space ?? Also is the system crashing enough like the XUV700 which is a known troublemaker ??
Don’t know case we didn’t see the captains seats variant.
Apple car play wasn’t activated so don’t know about the crashing
Thanks Sirish....do update if you get hands on one.
Amazing" review! Hi Sirish, I am confused between Scorpio-N and Tata Safari. Please help me finalize my decision. 🙏
Fabulous driving shots captured
Looks even more beautiful which coming from the ghats with some rain
It does!
Rain makes everything better
@@sirishch I would also like to know if Brezza is a face-lift or its a nex gen
????
Amazing review, throughly enjoyed it! Thank you Sirish👍 Again a desirable SUV from Mahindra ❤️ Velu Sir & team kudos ⚙️
Thank you!
Gr8 review! A comparison with T^T^ harrier would be good. Mahindra is the new ISRO.
So far, Car review of the year on CZcams. Great job team Evo.
Appreciate that! 😅
You’re too kind
@@sirishch Kind of enthusiasm and energy you put into car reviews are bit kind of benchmark. For Scorpio all thing was there, what I like here is each word was coming from your heart. And it was giving feeling that I’m also get connected with car and getting same feeling as you. That’s reason when this video started and ended pata hi nahi chala 👌
Love❤
For Mighty Maskular Scorpio😊😍🤩
Rear difflock atleast?
what was the outro track ?
when you tap the steering wheel like that at 32:56, you know there exists a soul level connect with the machine!
Spot on!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome test drive Sirish. Off-road road was scary but you are enjoying it :)
I did enjoy it 😃
The torque figure for petrol at 12:00 looks a bit off. Why would it be 172Nm?
The best of the best review i have seen till now 🤩🤩awesome 👍🏻😁
Thank you
Thanks man
Sirish being the staple guy for suv reviews!! We love you man!! Now's the high time tata brings in awd in Safari sourced from Evoque 🤭
High time 💪🏻
Very well reviewed just loved watching this
Thank you!
Thank you!
Wheel base 2540 or 2750?
Great review. But no mention of boot space.
Most people are not even answering the Q in question if one will buy this or not. Maybe they are sitting and watching to just pick faults in the presenter. Adding, most won't even buy it and are not auto experts(now almost everyone is reviewing vehicles and posting online), I think they are self-made experts. Yes, this vehicle looks amazing, seems a great value for money, and will definitely sell in bulk(even the old one is still selling in good numbers). If you don't like it, who is asking you to buy it? If you don't like the rear lights, buy and get them changed, simple. Roomy cabin, class-leading powerful engine, super road presence, safety offerings..It will be a good product to buy surely. For one looking to buy his/her first, I doubt one is ready to wait endlessly(Thar/XUV ex). Most will still buy it, given the price range and VFM. Enjoy the Make-in-India SUV, made for India Scorpio-N, ready to sting all other D-segment rides.
If you don’t like it don’t buy it 😂 well said man!
Sireesh.
The Scorpio N. Lower version looks nice with its functional steel wheels. After some more thought post the test drive today, I want to put down some questions and I do hope Mahindra will take these seriously and maybe answer them sometime.
Indeed I have put these kinds of questions down in 2004-2005 when I was buying my Bolero Sportz and again in 2007-2008 when I was buying my Scorpio. In the Bolero Sportz they simply would not give split foldable or indeed even full bench foldable rear seats to liberate more luggage space. And no 4WD option except on the GLX.
In the Scorpio they wouldn’t offer 4WD also easily. One had to order it specially and it was only available on the DX and later the GLX and VLX versions, never on the lower variants. And the Scorpio never had split foldable rear seats.
I did ask Dr Goenka at the time via email. But didn’t get much of an answer.
So now, in 2022, why can’t they provide a base variant of the Scorpio N with none of the gadgetry and technological electronic wizardry, except for functional things like the 6 seat configuration, TPMS, Navigation and a basic sound system but with the all important safety kit and functional kit like 4WD, traction control, ESP and so on?
If they would make a Z4 Plus version with all of the above and with steel wheels, along with a choice of MT or AT, it would provide super value to the utility focused consumer.
And why is it that the 4WD is not being given to consumers who want to opt for the Z8L 6 seater version rather than the 7 seater? Anyway we all know that the last row is all but redundant.
Somehow I always feel their marketing department or whoever the powers that are, who decide these features and variants, need to come out of their ivory towers once in a while and listen to common people who are more function focused than gizmo focussed.
I do hope there is someone in M&M who has been tasked with reading TBHP daily and making useful notes and taking it back to those blighted Corporate Committees. I suggest you also read the team bhp thread on the scorpio N reviews.
I am sure Velu, being the kind of man I think he is, will definitely listen. But he will have to over rule the clods in the marketing department.
It is about time Mahindra brought out a car configurator and allowed people to ‘build their own Scorpio’. Including all the accessories and tyres and all. That would indeed be the icing on the cake.
33:05 this is whats makes u unique sir .
& mahindra makes Indian auto proud ..
🙏🙏
😀🙏
A satisfying review... 🔥
thank you!
Petrol ki mileage?
You are my favourite Sirish sirrrrr!!
🙏🙏🙏
The twinkle in his eyes when he speaks about cars...huge Fan Shirish...look fwd to your reviews always 👍😀
For Enthusiasts By Enthusiasts! 💪
Thanks man
Sirish Sir, your reviews are one of the best. Hope you keep shining bright. With due respect, I'd like to correct your statement at 16:55 . I believe the correct definition as far as roll arm height and also concerning the diagram that you've shown, "roll arm height" would be the imaginary perpendicular distance from the Centre of Gravity to the imaginary line drawn from the front suspension roll center to the rear suspension roll center.
Thank you for the clarification!
FANTASTIC REVIEW. YOU NAILED IT
Thank you
😎🙏
AMAZING REVIEW🙂 AND GREAT ENGINEERING FROM OUR INDIAN COMPANY MAHINDRA 👍
A very well summed up review 👌. Bee getting into the cabin was hilarious 😝. Just a thought, those considering the Virtus/Slavia 1.5 DSG can try out the Z8 petrol auto as well since the price range would be pretty close. For a few lakh extra you get 50 BHP and 130 nm more plus 2 extra seats and a reliable Torque converter. Not to forget, incredible comfort for long haul trips. Fun to drive element of the DSG is the only thing that you'll miss.
Yes, this will not only straddle SUV segments but even cars!
🐝 😂
While Scorpio looks great and this idea on paper sounds good, a DSG is a DSG and more importantly , a sedan is a sedan- period! :)
What do u suggest? Petrol AT or diesel AT??
Diesel AT
Which road it is?
Best part .. to the bee "Eh Ja na yaar"
😂
Amazing car and amazing review! They rear end gives off xylo-quanto vibes! But, then again I am yet to see it in-person.
Thank you!
More like Volvo feels….
Supremely crazy review. Love it❤
Thank you
😀👍🏼
Sirish shot the best scorpio review NGL
🙏
You made me fall in love with Scorpio N. Not finding any reason not to buy this. 3rd row space is one issue though.
I don't care if apple car play isn't working as I can't afford an iPhone. 🤣
Curious to know what did you say when we heard beep beep sound.😜
Thanks for this excellent video.
