Introducing the Mahindra Scorpio-N with Andrè4x4:

[@glennbaard9305]

I was reluctant to purchase my Karoo S 6 at first. Now one year later and 60,000km on the clock, I love it. We have a farm in the Khomas Hochland in Namibia. The final road distance of 26 km takes 2 hours in 4 wheel drive over very rough terrain. Never a problem. On the open road I consistently get 12km per lit at 120. Most underrated 4 wheèl drive vehicle on the market.

[@jacqueshuman6287]

Have done just more than 11000km on my Scorpio N Z8L and I am truly impressed. Solid both on and off road👌

[@avinashbalkissur5232]

Let's see what happens when you reach the 100k kms

[@dandidharneether6146]

Nothing @ after 300k

[@shivakumarbv6100]

It goes easily up to 400k without any single buck spend on engine if we do maintenance as per company instructions.....

[@amestrone2941]

Mahindras they are very good and available in Australia the big question how can Mahindra build such high quality and reliable vehicles at such an affordable price this Scorpio is aud $46000 in Australia cheaper and better than its competition lndian built vehicles can't beat them l count India along with certain Japanese brands as the best reliable vehicles available in the world

[@theemotionalremix]

This is a common occurrence with brands that are still building their reputation. Over time, more and more people will be buying and owning these cars and then the company will be able to charge Toyota money for their vehicle. For now, the people that are discovering this brand are blessed to be buying these cars at such an affordable price.

[@lesklower7281]

@@theemotionalremix As you gathered l do like the Mahindras l will never buy one because l have no use for there vehicles although limited but if buyers do there research and find out how good they will buy them also lndian built vehicles are excellent we own a Suzuki Baleno made in lndia

[@lesklower7281]

@@theemotionalremix l don't think they will go up in price that much because they are maid in lndia because when the Suzuki Baleno was available in Australia the GL was the cheapest car in Australia we own one bought it second hand for aud $15750 7 years old with 70000 kilometres on it a good quality car new for under aud$20000 and that would be drive away look at now what the cheapest cars available now both crappy cars the awful MG3 and the small crappy Kia

[@craigdouglasmartens7037]

I have an s6 Karoo double cab 4x4. Best vehicle I've ever owned except possibly my Landrover 110 County td5 and that is stil questionable. Ruggedly built, unquestionably reliable ( 130000km's in 28 months in mining, agricultural and Bush trails and horribly potholes or corrugated roads) with no issues whatsoever. I would buy another with no qualms. Highly underrated vehicles. I want one of these with a sore heart.

@@arjunakurup02 thanks for your feedback! I agree with your sentiments but as I get older, my off-roading demands are getting less "hectic" than before, so this may well be an affordable option for me (albeit it a less capable one). Nevertheless, I appreciate your comments, thank you! 👍😉

I took one for a test drive and was so impressed by the drive and handling in a 10 minute drive I put a deposit down as soon as I got back to the dealership. Compared to other cars I tested it was firm and stable on the road especially on roundabouts. Out preformed an Isuzu MU-X which felt like it was going to rollover and the rattle before changing gear was off-putting

Hi All, I bought a Scorpio-N 4xplor in September - the vin indicates made in January 2023. It has a loose steering issue which Mahindra SA is busy investigating. I spoke to another person with the same problem and their Scorpio-N was also made in January 2023. Are there any members here who have a similar issue and their vin number starts with MA1TK4YTTP6A With the 10th letter P indicating the year 2023 and the 12th letter A the month. It is a feeling of a loose component on the steering while traveling at low speeds over rough terrain. Could you please comment if you have a vehicle with the same problem and vin?

I have been extremely disappointed with my purchase. Every time I drive it I feel the "loose" steering. Just read up on the steering issue wit the 4Explor. There is an issue with the electric steering - making the steering feel loose when driving in the city.

[@insert-name1500]

[@unwoke1652]

Attractive styling. Pity the ground clearance is in deficit. It really should have >200mm.

[@Mo-bi2ih]

I think the Australian version is 230mm

[@TonyMandez-mo2ut]

The reason for low ground clearance is unfortunately.....bureaucratic (indian bureaucracy to be specific). It is due to whats know as GST or the 'Goods and Services Tax' levied on small utility vehicles in India, which dictates that vehicles of this category whose engine capacity exceeds 1500cc, measuring over 40cm in length(?) And having a ground clearance over 170mm is not considered an SUV and attracts a base 22% tax (climbing to 28% as the ground clearance goes up). On paper, the Scorpion N has a 187mm clearance, with the aussie version measuring at 230mm.

[@unwoke1652]

@@TonyMandez-mo2ut They shouldn't make their problems mine. There are many ways to skin a cat. For tax reasons, European carmakers extracted much more power per cc than American ones; volume limitations just led to better application of physics and engineering. Are the smart Indians not savvy enough to get in through the back door, a window or the roof? Good for them if they lack the knack. Don't expect me to send my pet Dollar to them, so as to scrape a N belly on the silky soft Richtersveld rocks. Something's gotta give - but how did the Ozzies get it to 230mm? Video, please.

[@shivakumarbv6100]

Don't get confused. Even in india its 227 mm unladen or 187 mm laden... They report laden ground clearance as per govt instruction

[@vijaygza]

The wading depth of 500mm is a bit low, compared to the competition.

Prop shaft vibration. Similar to what was found on some reviews of the new Ford Ranger. On both vehicles they are recalled or fixed/replaced on next service. Mine was replaced as I bought the vehicle and it is running smoothly. Vehicle runs good and is great fun, but remember to switch of the auto stop/start as it can leave you standing dead still at a traffic light, which is annoying. Hope they have a software update on that soon
