Mahindra Scorpio is already a star in SUV segment and the popularity further grew with the new mHawk engine, giving extra new power to the car. The difference can be actually made out by the person who has driven the Scorpio will notice that the new engine gives more power than its predecessor. Earlier the Scorpio was propelled by 2.6 liter common rail diesel engine churning out 115 bhp. This engine made the Scorpio huge successful in India. The amount of power it generated made people queue up to buy the car.
And the new engine offers 2.2 liters delivering 120bhp that is full five bhp more then the CRDe. But the difference is not limited to numbers alone.
The vehicle goes from 0 to 100 within 15 seconds that is a full 1.6 seconds which is faster the Scorpio CRDe. The specialty of the new powerful engine is that it’s very lighter, 82 kgs lesser than the CRDe engine. This provides the throttle to push the car ahead without any load. MHawk also overtakes the Scorpio CRDe models even in terms of handling.
Another advantage of this mHawk Scorpio is it offers smooth ride with front independent suspension that proves to be of excellent quality, when compared to its predecessor. It is also enhanced with new three channel anti-lock braking system giving a highway cruising. There have been no changes in the exterior design and body weight.
The interiors also remain the same except for the dash with new colour. The two-tone black and red theme has been cleverly used on the dashboard and seat covers. They make the car look more luxurious than its competitors.
The seats are more boarder and slide behind well to give the perfect back support. The eight-seater M-Hawk Scorpio is practical in rural areas, but the third row seat can make way for luggage space in urban areas as families are smaller.
To add to its allure is the price tag of 9.9 lakh which is lesser than its competitors Tata Safari and Toyota Innova. The original when launched in 2002 won several car awards for being the best SUV and now it m-hawks’ turn to be the winner.
