Mahindra Scorpio [2009-2014] User Reviews

Exterior The xterior of scorpy is good but it could be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Regarding comfort nothing can be said, it is awesome.  No other muv/suv can be compared. Space is good but it is completely my personal opinion that  the refreshed sumo gold (which I purchased  on 23 aug  2013) have a little bit of edge  regarding space over scorpio. Features are good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As I am longdrive maniac  and have droven allmost all vehicles in long drive I can easily come into this conclusion that the scorpy is the most reliable and comfortable and mosg trusted vehicle as I have ever come accross. The engine  performance and and gear box is very very good. But  to my aspect the mileage should be better. In city traffic I get 7.5/8 and in long max 9/9.5, with ac on. Though once I got 11 in a long drive in winter. And negetive point i mentioned earlier that the clutch tends to be hard. But overall I am a very very satisfied customer of my blackpanther 2007 crde LX turbo 2wd. It has already run 105000 odd km and  i have no plan to sell it out, it is still  just like a new wife.

Good style, awesome pick up, most comfortable for long drive, easy to handle in city traffic and mmileage should be improved and clutch tends to be har

Exterior

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)- apart from the front two seats, there is not enough space for the third person to sit with ease

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 It's really very bad especially the automatic version is nothing but a insult of this version. It's like illiterate villager being given a book of chemical engineering to study. I have already given my complaint in grahak sewa

Ride Quality & Handling

 Very poor response from Pradeep. He is the engineer looking after my vehicle at koncept mahindra Delhi. He has kept my vehicle for around 10 days but the problem is as it is and now ko crept is not even entertaining calls from my side. They have started saying that I need to take the vehicle from their kohl a workshop to somewhere near saritavihar which is a new one. Great attitude from the company like mahindra. This is my second Scorpio in a row and now I have decide to switch my loyalty. 

Final Words

 

Areas of improvement  I think they need to come out of the shell of being the best as that has killed their skills of working at the ground level

 

 

I just liked the shape of this vehicleEverything apart from shape. Arrogance in staff of dealership, poor performance of vehicle .

 I purchased an automatic in 2009. This is my second scorpio, the earlier one was a manual transmission which gave me 1,60,000 wonderful Kms.

The Automatic is a nightmare...after 14,000, I had regular complaints of jerky gear shifts at adhoc rpms. Each time the service station would set something with a laptop without charging me anything.

The car has only been to Authorized service stations for servicing. Every 2500 km till 10,000 km, Every 5,000 Km till 30,000, and Every 10,000km till now which is Just 60,000.

Today, at 60,000 the car has packed up. The transmission refuses to shift gears. The car starts and that's it... it does not matter if its in P,N,D,R. Its stationary.

I can only assume that the company sold me a defective transmission and was buying time through every service to get it out of the warranty period.

Now, The service station says that it would look into the problem, but till then they would like to inform that at every 60,000 km, an automatic transmission requires flushing that is for....please take a seat. Whooping 40,000 to 50,000 RS.

I have been in touch with "Mahendra with you hamesha'. Which they are not. They are with the privately run service station hamesha. Its just a call center with people not aware of cars and dependent on the service station on whatever 'technical' jargon they dish out. Where is the company in this and whats its responsibility after the car leaves the factory is totally an unknown?

The scorpio is supposed to be an off roader. My self driven scorpio is a city car. The only off roading its done is climbing delhis flyovers and dropping into delhis pot holes. An AtoB office drive is all the poor things ever done.

Its been Two weeks now that my car is parked in the service station without parts.

Please dont waste your money buying the Automatic. Its cheap engineering.

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Best space & comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox You can trust scorpio 2.2 engine when you would be going out for holidys.

Ride Quality & Handling Good suspension, You can use it rough as i use take it to the village's where there are no roads.

Final Words Would reccomend it to others and would love it to buy again new one.

Areas of improvement The only concern people wold have is its avg. but it didnt matter when you are going it to drive for lacs of KM safety matters not avg.

I am having SCORPIO VLX MHawk Engine.

Good for Indian Roads. You cant compare this car to Ertiga or Mobilo or Lodgy

I purchased this car as per my use as I need to drive a lot and that also in different city my yearly running got to round about 50,000 Km Plus.

Its a heavy car with good quality of material it gets good grip on highways  while driving at 120 Km/h it seems to be very smooth dont tahe dis-advantage of its power as my driver drives at 150 km/h.

Would at last say go for it Good luck and have a Safe Journey.

Best thing it got is its inside comfort. Good FeaturesOnly one cons is its mileage

I had purchased an Used Scorpio VLX 2009 model automatic transmission. I hardly drove 200 km . Since the day One the Engine light was on in my Dash. The Showroom salesman said its no problem and his mechanic did something and the light was gone for two days. Then Its was a long story. So many things happen. Ultimately i landed in TVS garage ( The official Scorpio dealer in our town) . Now after a thorough check up they said the whole gear box has to be replaced and it will cost me 3 lacs rs. I think the TVS guys forgot that it is a Used car . Now i am hunting for a rebuild gearbox which i can not find anywhere in INDIA. Now you decide ,you really want to buy a SCORPIO????? Rgds William.

I like the car very much.It's my dream car and I wan't to buy it whenever I shall get a job.It's very much costlier but it's a amazing car I have ever enjoyed. I am in love with it in my first ride

In This Price Range Its A Worship For Indian Roads Where It Give Comfort Like Horizental Swing And A Great Compilation To Enjoy Any Trip With Family . Looks Are Just Better Than Any Other This Range Car With Huge Body And Multi Functions . In My City Mahindra's Service Is Not Good But Yes , Its Good In Many Cities So Please Insure It in Yours . So If You Are Going To Purchase This One So Its One Finest Piece For Everyone ??

1.Good 2.not so good 3.look good, performance not soo good.no good pickup, very noisy engine,so much body roll,very slow car. 4.So much problem in spare parts in Mahindra service centre for this car. Only Money waste car

Overall performance of the car is super and maintainance is somewhat costly and mileage is also very poor and the safety and features are at its best micro hybrid system and all automatic headlights,wipers and voice messages for seatbelt for door
