Anti-Review: Mahindra PikUp 2.2CRDe D/C S11 Karoo

It's a truck version of the popular scorpio, it was launched as getaway in India around 2008-9. Indians in general were new to this segment, Sales were poor so mahindra had to stop sales by 2017. I still have a 2012 model with me, done 230000kms yet engine and transmission as healthy as ever. These vehicles have proven their reliability and scorpio (suv) is the most popular option where I live in India. If it can survive in my region for over 10 years without any hiccups it definitely can survive anywhere in the world.

[@GalimotoMedia]

Thanks for that insight, we've put our name down for a test-drive of the Scorpio "Adventure" model here in southern Africa. The Pik-Up / truck is becoming quite popular here, they've just launched three more (cosmetic) models: Dusk, Dawn and Storm.

[@christiaanjansevanvuuren7574]

Hi there , we own a 2014 mhawk model , and still running strong... Max torque at 1.6k rpm , extremely reliable engine , only problem is after a while the 4wd and low range don't always engage properly ... But even in rwd it is still very capable , unless you take it to the hardest offroad courses , but we have been dragging 1 ton logs without a hiccup and god knows how we still use the same clutch... Comes with cruise control too , but loud wind noise on the highway though ... But yes , definitely worth it , basically an affordable land cruiser Im from south africa which is almost the same environment as Australia , so if it does great here it would probably do great there as well

[@Coastmac2001]

What an excellent review. These are also becoming more popular in Australia as well. They are the type of vehicle that both Aust & South Africa will appreciate. Might be boxy, but its rugged, reliable, well built & reasonably practical . Top marks to Mahindra . Now starting to build some very , very good vehicles.

[@GalimotoMedia]

Thank you kindly!

[@benvisagie8844]

Agree. And remeber a Landcruiser 70 is also very boxy and the ride is just as worse or as good. And its reliable. And the power seems to be enough, its not slower than a 70 series landcruiser. Check the V8’s figures, very slow, also around the 15 sec.

[@bandietklip7030]

Thanks for this amazing upload. This is by far the most decent review involving the Karoo. I have watched it more than once for its detailed to the finest criteria ever so needed to us as the consumer. I would surely procure a Karoo if I have half of a opportunity. I must concur, it beautiful of ugliness. This is in my opinion the best brand to fit the average South African. Thanks guys:)

[@Bachwaa]

My friend, Scorpio in India and karoo for you folks is built to suit Indian conditions and it's been informed the top sellers for last 2 decades here in India and we are very very difficult market. This vehicle will last you your life if maintained properly. Here bolero is the first choice for urban India which is a class lower to karoo. You cannot go wrong with Mahindra. The only issue is comparison with Toyota. Here in India you won't belive Hilux has been launched last month for first time and is thrice the cost. It's gonna be a failure for sure. Now you can understand the market we have india where the best of the products will fail and this Mahindra been the choice since last 2 decades. I am sure Mahindra will replace Toyota's in the later or will definitely be a Challenger

Very patchy dealerships in Australia at the moment, a few scattered down the East coast, one on the West coast, for me it is a 700 kM drive to even had a look at one. Which is a pity as I think they really offer something the party tarts don't, value for money.

If you have good dealer back up and parts available then there a great little truck. I owned the turbo diesel standard tranny in Costa Rica for 2 years and drove it aggressively in the mountains. Good power, nice ride, wide stance, are the pros. Can't really haul heavy loads and I didn't like the brakes ,plus hard to get any parts. Biggest problem was the dealership.

[@johnjeferson5818]

So mahindra in India confirms to BS6 norms so it's pretty much Euro 6 here for past 2 years. May be south afica doesn't enforce a stricter emmision standard? Even before than since 2015 it's been Euro 4 .Also mostly our cars get fabric upholstery you guys seem to get leather. Also the non Bucky version scorpio gets jump seats in India for cost cutting you guys get forward facing . But in my openion I prefer the jump seats as you can comfortably sleep in the back.
