Two years is a long amount of time when you are waiting for your new car to be delivered. But somehow, that doesn't seem to faze buyers of the Scorpio-N. This is especially true of the base Z2 and the diesel trims of the Scorpio-N, the variants most in demand. Mahindra, over the last couple of years, has introduced three outstanding products to the market. As a result, their order books are overflowing and the Scorpio-N, just like the XUV700 that debuted a year ago, is selling like hotcakes.
So, what is it that has customers flocking to Mahindra showrooms? We spent some time with the top-of-the-line Z8L 2WD variant of the Mahindra Scorpio-N and here are the six things we absolutely love about it.
DESIGN REFRESH
With something that has been around for more than two decades, a design update is a hard job to do. Err too much on the safe side, and you can have a product that will be called boring, and try to be too radical, and it can just as easily be ridiculed. Mahindra has tried to find a middle ground. The muscular, brawny silhouette is retained but some of the design characteristics of the Scorpio have been given a miss. This means that things like the stacked tail lamps are there, they no longer have a quirky shape and light signature. Depending on who you ask, the Scorpio-N's tail lamps look like that of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R or of any number of recent Volvos.
That said, the Scorpio-N gets a far more mature overall design than the Scorpio ever had. The classic two-box shape is retained but the SUV doesn't appear as squared off. It is smoother and details are better integrated with the overall design. The headlights are slimmer, and the grille, too, is restrained, with the only details of note being the vertical slats and the new Mahindra logo finished in chrome. Lower down on the bumper, you will find the fog lamps and DRLs.
