    I'd honestly choose the Scorpio cause I'm a old school guy. Not a fan of gimmicks in a car prefer when a car remains basic and does the job. I'm a Off-road freak and I've driven both cars. For me it's about the Feel when off-roading and I get that in the Mahindra it feels like I'm in control of the machine like trying to tame a wild bull I love that feeling. Unfortunately in the tank it felt like just another generic 4×4 with plush toys inside trying to overcome obstacles on the road. I love when my 4×4 has grunt to it honestly it makes the ride more fun for me. When I sat in the Mahindra and took it for a test drive it took me back to the day i brought my land cruiser home. Again just my opinion but the Scorpio feels more of a 4x4. For some reason I prefer the interior of the Scorpio to the Tank I find it mature and it gives off a very rugged and manly look. I mean there's got to be a reason why the Scorpio is a outback favourite right. Seen a lot on the beach too. 3 months with my Sand muncher (Scorpio) and it hasn't missed a beat.

      Tank has only a 400kg payload too. Unless you're solo travelling it's not really going to allow a family to carry all their gear for an outback adventure. The Mahindra isn't great in that regard either but at 530kg it's a significant improvement on the Tank. I totally agree regarding the assists on modern vehicles. I find they work against you. It's like having two people drive the car at once and one of them is a kindergartener. Pretty dangerous situation. The Mahindra is one of those rare vehicles which is still sold without training wheels attached and that makes it very appealing and nostalgic.

  • @cthorno2991

    Tough choice as there is a lot of compromises. Mahindra's a little lacking in extras and the space is compromised, where as tank has terrible payload. If I was to use it for towing and light offroading I would go the Mahindra... which I'm actually considering.

    Had the chance to test drive both few weeks back, in my humble opinion apart from the similar price range the Scorpio is not in the same league as the Tank 300. The Tank is really a much more refined product both in terms of tech and driving capability (on & Off road). As a matter of fact, I do think it is a strong contester to the likes of Prado, Wrangler and the likes. (Speaking from an owner of Prodo for the last 6+ years)

In fact even the ABS on my car didn't save me from slipping off the road and meeting with an accident. I was lucky that my car just went off the road and stopped on a field. If there were a tree or pond, I would have been gone along with my mom and dad.

    Just got back from a test drive of the Tank 300. It was quiet, smooth and had reasonable levels of power. You could not quibble about the quality of the interior and technology. I did not like the turbo lag, from a start you take off sedately then the power comes on at a rush. I intensly disliked the lane keeping steering, it would follow the centre of the road but at a bend it would suddenly twitch the steering wheel. The salesman told me a new model with a diesel option and less obtrusive steering is on the way. I actually loved a lot of things about the Tank 300 but when I got back into my petrol Kakadu, I felt back at home with no turbo lag and more power.

      braking with wheels off the ground is terrible. the ".01 seconds" off the ground also means ther is a great deal more time where only .01% of the wheel is barely touching the ground. you brake hard and try to swerve around the reason for braking with your rear end only applying 100kgs of load to the tarmac and let me know how that went.

If this was to happen on a corner or when swerving would mean complete loss of control or a possible roll-over. I don't care in the counter-argument of ANCAP 5 stars...as this doesn't test emergency braking when swerving or cornering. To me this braking issue is a real deal breaker...it is simply unsafe and dangerous 🤔

As far as the active safety tech goes, I see a lot of reviewers bagging the Mahindra for not having it, but then I see the same reviewers in other cars, with active safety tech fitted, turning those systems off, because they are invasive and don’t work as they should. What’s better, having none of the active safety tech and knowing you need to more observant on the road, or, have sub standard active safety tech, and be constantly distracted by those systems while driving? It’s an easy choice for me. Just my 2 cents. 🙂🍺

    More computerised electrickery inside a Chinese-made car isn't a good thing, for me. My experiences to date with rentals has convinced me that budget car makers simply don't do a great job of the computerised stuff and, when that includes so-called 'autonomous safety systems', I just see problems waiting to happen.
    In this sense, the Mahindra, despite having fewer bells and whistles, appears to suffer similar problems, i.e. complaints about the hill hold and something else I can't recall. These issues, especially infotainment connection problems, seem to occur with some of the major manufacturers too, though much less common.

    The brake testing on the Tank causing its rear wheels to lift up couid become catastrophic in an emergency braking . The GWM might be good, but its no where near great . Any vehicle that ends up on its front wheels because the rear end cant keep contact with the pavement is toatally unacceptable. Despite the Mahindra missing some active safety gear, id take it over the GWM . GWM obviously still have a lot of work to do

    Chinese is chinese you cant compare it with others. You will cry for parts after few years. I had a GAC GS3. The dealer took 2 months to just replace the bumper. Dont go for gismos, just opt for korean, japanese, american , europen or even indian manufacturer vehicles. Chinese would make you cry in few years. Warranty alone will not help. They have habbit of copying, now they copy business strategies of other countries manufacturers, but are not able to keepup with it.

    Personally, i would much prefer mahindra to the chinese product anyday !! Part of the reason for my pick is also due ti longevity and we know how chinese products fair on that end !!
    Engine noise - diesel will naturally be a little noisy than petrol and vibrate a little more. Having driven the mahindra i find the engine extremely sophisticated
    Off road- with 95% people keeping 4x4 for urban driving, does it really matter . Mahindra has the required capabilities of a 4x4 which 99% people will ever need !!
    Camera - ill give that to the GWM .
    Too many modes for 4x4 - i donno , whilst its a interestung gimmik, its also a perfect disaster waiting to happen ( thats why we go with keep it simple stupid motto )
    Lastly all the gimmicks ( lane keep etc etc ) , people i feel are loosing the ability to drive and natural instincts that every driver should have

    I would buy the Mahindra any day the Mahindra is so much better than the tank 300 for starters in India and they build some very good vehicles infact we own a Suzuki Baleno made in India and Toyota rebadge the Suzuki Baleno as the Toyota Starlet so if it's good enough for Toyota it's good enough for me and l know of four Mahindra Pick-ups that have done over 500000 km and the Tank 300 will never archive that but the Mahindras have done that Mahindra all day long reliable vehicles and reliability is the most important when buying why do you think they sell so many Toyota's in Australia and l know all about Toyota reliability l own a 26 year old Toyota Hilux that has done only yes only 434000 kilometres and no Chinese vehicle will ever do that they will fall apart as for lasting 26 years no way will the Mahindra last 26 years probably which would you rather buy a vehicle that will last maybe ten years or a vehicle that will last a long it may be all pretty and nice when they but how do they stack up in ten or twenty years time
