The new Scorpio is based on an all-new platform.Comes with an optional on-the-fly 4X4 system.The engine has been tuned for both performance and efficiency.the mighty and muscular scorpio is back in a new avtar, the first generalation in its twelve year runThe company had provided major upgrades and a new engine and now its an all new platform for the first time .
The company had provided major upgrades and a new engine in 2006, a facelift in 2008, and now it's an all-new platform for the first time.
The car still looks like the Scorpio we know though. It has a similar silhouette and proportions. The big reason for that is a carryover of the 4 doors, front windscreen and roof from the previous generation. Yes - somewhat like what Tata Motors did with the Safari turned Storme. The company says it was done to help cut down development time, but I am sure it also helped save on costs. So that also meant a limitation on how different the new car's proportions could be.The platform sports a wider track(70mm more in the front, and 50mm more at the rear), and also now uses an anti-roll bar, unlike the outgoing car. The overall emphasis has been to provide a stiffer chassis, and Mahindra claimI was a proud owner, when I bought this Scorpio S8, in Oct 2014. I already have Scorpio VLX Micro Hybrid which was bought in Jan 2011.
This vehicle has too many electrical issues.which is very poor in reliability. When ever I drive this vehicle at night times, my headlight bulbs burnt within 2-3 hours of operation. This is happening almost every alternative days and I went to Mahindra & Mahindra Service station - India Garage, Mysore.
The service guy checked the car and wanted to replace the battery. I went to Amaron showroom to get a second opinion and the amaron guys said the battery is working fine.
I went to a local mechanic and he checked the car and replaced the regulator in the alternator, from last 2-3 days car head light is working fine.
Having spent hard earned money, I regret today. Travelling with family - old people, ladies and small kids, in remote parts and your headlight gives away at night every 2-3 hours, you can judge the reliability of the vehicle and expertise of Mahindra service mechanics.
Reaching Mahindra - No response, you can reach the unprofessional dealer service centers, where you will get no results and Mechanic /staff are there to give wrong advice and cheat the customers.s to have doubled the stiffness as compared to the old Scorpio chassis.
