If we had one major problem with the current( now, older) version of the Mahindra Scorpio, it was the way it handled bumps at speed. It made us feel like we were taking a ride on a trampoline when we hit a bump on the highway. One might argue that the car was supposed to be more of a bad-road specialist, and not a speed demon. So, do things change with the all-new Scorpio?
The Scorpio you see here is the new, third generation of Mahindra’s popular SUV. It’s built on an all-new platform that is made up of stronger composite materials, which, as we’re told, makes the Scorpio a safer place to be in, thanks to the newly-incorporated crumple zones. This new chassis will also form the basis for Mahindra’s upcoming vehicles. Mahindra tells us that the new platform can easily be altered to make a sub-four metre car( Quanto replacement, anyone?), without compromising on structural integrity. Everything in and about the Scorpio is all-new. The lads at the Nashik factory informed us that the only bits that have been carried over from the older SUV are the doors.
