- Australia’s cheapest large diesel off-road SUV lacks a few key ingredients 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The 2023 Mahindra Scorpio has arrived in Australia at a bargain-basement introductory price of under $45,000 drive-away.
That makes the all-new large off-road SUV significantly more affordable than chief rivals like the Toyota Prado and Ford Everest, which also lack the Scorpio’s long seven-year warranty.
But there are some key safety, multimedia and packaging shortcomings here, as we found at the launch of Mahindra’s new flagship SUV.

Some of the active safety systems are a nuisance and a lot of people turn them off anyway.
Almost had an accident the other day when My Pajero sport braked when I didn't want it to.
Scorpio looks to provide good functions at reasonable value.
And you don't need sat nav if you have car play and Android auto so its good it doesn't have sat nav.
Spare should have been mounted on the rear door like the prado.
Not sure why they bothered with that 3rd row?
Family friendly price.
Really needs a longer wheel base to be alternative to Prado/Everest.
4WD prices are going through the roof with all the new models.
The Pajero Sport is nothing like the old Pajero in terms of size, and doesn't come close to a Prado.
The Scorpio is 20k cheaper than a Pajero Sport Exceed.
The Toyota Prado will probably go up another 10-15k when it arrives but Toyota reliability and new motor will make it sell.
Its the only real competitor to the Everest ATM.
Everest has a really wide model range but their models are 50k-87k. But there are a lot of QC issues being reported.
Grenadier not bad either but a bit exe.
The other cat amongst the pigeons is whatever Kia and Hyundai bring out in the next 18 months.
The Scorpio is a welcome change. I reckon they will sell heaps.
Scorpio is reliable too.
I have a pathfinder with the spare on the rear door (has gas). I hate it.
I sold my Prado and got a Scorpio N and it is a worthy competitor. The ride quality is on par on tar and gravel notwithstanding the shorter wheelbase. The ride is just as good as the Prado. Fuel consumption 1-1,5 l/100 km better. The performance on the road feel similar. And it has 3 usb ports, the Prado only one🖐🏻. For nearly half the price, what a bargain, and a better quarantee and simular maint plan. Cant go wrong as teliability apparantly very good but time will tell.
For it's onroad and offroad capabilities, the Mahindra Scorpio-N is an excellent vehicle in it's price category.
I see it selling very well here in Southern Africa for the kind of terrain we have.
Ford entered into a binding agrement to use Mahindra engines in india to manufacture to offer globally
Later they decided to shut indian operations. So that agreement was cancelled.
Thats the stamp on the authority saying Mahindra engines are world class.
a laure dont make clown out of indians ..average cheap car owners ..if tomorw ducati announces a motorcyles with hero ..then hero is best ???? world class??? bsdk 3rd world countries may bech ney k liye companies deal karte hai nd cheaper cost
It's very good. Despite a lack of some safety gear, it's a very decent vehicle. Well built , practical it's a decent drive. The lack of safety gear is currently being addressed as is the lack of a decent dealers & parts network . Approved aftermarket parts are being organised as well. We also miss out on the standard Nav, Alexa & Adreno X Multi Media system as offered in India & other markets. These will come here at a later stage
It's 5 star rated in global ncap
Mahendra using solid steel then other cars
@@kaushik.vaghmar NCAP is different to Australia's more stringent ANCAP requirements . Our regs are some of the toughest in the world for vehicles to comply with
@@Coastmac2001 to drive at 100kmph 😅😂?
In Australia, there is no proper highways where vehicle can cruise more than 150kmph and still talking about safety more than NCAP? Lol
@@vamoskerala4762 why would you want to travel at 150km/h in any vehicle? Speed still kills regardless . The lack of some safety gear isn't great. Its there to help to protect you but at a speed of 150km/h your chances of any survival no matter how safe the vehicle is would be likely to be zero .
@@Coastmac2001 my car has all the new safety features but I disabled a few of them due to nuisance for example lane keeping assist, auto braking. I drive at 200 kmph regularly on Autobahn in Germany. A good discipline and driving skill is important.
It's Five star rated in global ncap ❤ Scorpio N
And it's sister 😊 xuv700 is won award for safest car of the year in Gncap it has highly active ADAS even workin in neight accurately
You can search those testing videos
Mahendra products are majority 5 star rated in terms of build quality
And they planing to add thise adas features in upgrade
Its very demanding care in india it cross 100k bookings in just one day, mahendra trying to increase their producing capacity
It have long waiting almost 24months🎉
It's value for money car
It's have no competition in it's prices segment ❤
@@kaushik.vaghmar Indian kids trying to safe shortcomings in this car lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@sarpinpo trash can who can't afford a bicycle trying to bully people
@@sarpinpoi dont know which coutry u belongs to open ur eyes and check the reality before commenting
They need to stop comparing the Scorpio to the larger Prado, MUX and Pajero Sport. It’s market is unique being a full chassis option for towing the caravan or camper van for the customers who would usually want to get a Subaru Forester, XTrail, Outlander or RAV4.
We have been shopping for 6 months for something to tow our Jayco Camper, the Subaru Forester we have now can tow it but no safety margin.
What else is in this price range with a full chassis and capable to towing a family’s lightweight toys.
LDV D90, yes but after reading about some of the warranty issues after purchasing, I would not trust any of the China vehicles. The customers come first, not in the eyes of a Chinese brand.
What I am disappointed with, Mahindra have released a new vehicle and as I write this 4 weeks after release, they still don’t have a tow-bar available to purchase. Also the lies about the reason they are only doing captains chairs in the second row, “bench seat has supply issues”??? Pull the other one Mahindra, we all know it’s because you don’t have a centre lap/sash belt for the second row available so made the choice to market it with captain’s chairs for Australia. Have a look at the South Africa UA-cam clips and see they have both options.
In India, Scorpio always had the captain chairs in the second row. They bought it here. No idea about the tow capacity but vehicle in itself is good for hard terrain.
All aluminium diesel , not that common , cast iron still the norm.
How about bull bar
Is it better than an r50 pathfinder?
I want it as a 4 seater with cargo space
The nasty knock from rear diff is present on the ford ranger xls as well
When will the Mahindra XUV 700 & Mahindra Thar launch in Australia?
The Thar is not launching.
@@VMRDY But I heard Mahindra is launching the Thar overseas in a different guise
@@kyakaruvlogs2784 It looks like the Wrangler from every angle on the outside. Jeep won’t let Mahindra copy their design. Unless Mahindra fully revamps the exterior, it can’t be sold in Australia.
@@VMRDY Yes i believe Mahindra is thinking on those lines
Xuv 700 is now available
XUV fills the gap i think
I fail to understand how could you equate Scorpio to Prado… in no way are they equal. Expected better from you
Are they equating or is it just the same class of vehicle? Are you a prado owner?
@@tonybruce i don't own a prado or any toyota.... my point is it's unfair to pit scorpio against the class that it doesn't belong, prado is a full size suv, scorpio isn't. Its at best a mid size SUV.
@@bishnoivishal111183yes it goes with Toyota rav 4 subaru outback or something Honda pillot kind of cars
@@bishnoivishal111183 dunno why youd have your knickers in a knot over this tbh. Its not hurting prado
@@tonybruce looks like you have a serious problem and you know what that is…. You are too quick to judge…. My point is actually in favour of Scorpio which is that comparing Prado and Scorpio in itself is wrong… it’s like comparing apples and oranges… when the UA-camr like this one starts with the premise that it’s a challenger to prado they set the bias against Scorpio because those who have never driven or seen a Scorpio will assume these two vehicles as comparable which they are not. I have driven both Scorpio and Prado extensively. Scorpio is a mid sized SUV and Prado is a full size therefore the product offerings in each case is going to be naturally different. Pitting them against each other will make Scorpio look bad and inferior car.
Try removing your judgement lens and stop assuming you are the sole possessor of all the wisdom in this world.
7year warranty damn
🇮🇳
As much as I am intrigued by the Scorpio (and await the MKII which will hopefully have all the electronics wrinkles ironed out), I simply don't understand why reviewers insist on describing it as a "large" SUV, then go on to explain it's significantly smaller in pretty much every respect (dimensions, power, towing) than real 'large' SUVs. Why not just start off by calling it a medium-sized SUV? It still represents a good deal for the spec.
Come on Mahindra. Fix those bloody irritating bugs, fit a larger fuel tank and then you'll have a huge winner on your hands.
not a game changer though.. might be a new car from mahindra but this class of cars exist from all top players.
But it's affordable, powerful, looks good & powerful too.
Built to last. Its tough yet comfortable.
Not at this price.
@@djdB very true. Other players charge double the price for the same features & dynamics
For 37k?
rugged vehicle
Wasted with the extra seats, 4 is plenty. Nobody needs 6 or 7 seats in a car this small and if you do you should buy a people mover.
It's few inch smaller than Toyota fortuner in length.
It's wider and taller then fortune.
Agreed. I would get rid of the last row.
Anyone comparing scarpio with parado is super stupid. Very unfair comparison for both the vehicles.
More than half of your viewer are Indian. 🤣
Lol 😂 these car’s are just a cheap man’s Prado since when did these Chinese & Indian cars go head to head with a nameplate like the Landcruiser that has been around for over 2 decades & is still recognised as the king of off-roaders.
Well scorpio is also been for more than 2 decades but not in australia. And it's a capable offroader. U should see mahindra's future born ev concepts.
They said the same thing about Toyota in the 70s and 80s. Keep going.
@@sakshammalhotra5282 how is land cruiser indian?? It's Japanese bro
You don't know how old Mahindra is do you? 😂
A vehicle full of compromises wherever you look. Do yourself a favour and buy a Pajero Sport or something similar for a few grand more.
Well said 😂😂😂
Wow , you must have a degree in mechanical engineering to make that statement, I am amazed , by the way Mahindra uses a advance German assembly plant to produce these cars. Germans only give to countries that have skilled engineering which are China,India ,Austria are the only ones that have these assembly plants. You probably a need expensive SUV to for a status symbol because you feel insecure .
Drive Holden Captiva mate....
@@amuxpatch2798 they are average products at best. By the way German manufacturers build in the UK, South Africa, North America, South America and many more. At least get the basic facts right.
Watch mahindra's future born ev concepts
Trust an Indian car to have no safety features 🤦🏼♂️
It's actually safe as it scored 5stars in safety ratings. And the safety features like ADAS is available in xuv700. Since both scorpio and xuv700 come at same price point, to distinguish between them, mahindra didn't offer ADAS in scorpio as it's offroad oriented and xuv700 is urban oriented. And about trusting an Indian brand, u can trust it. Indian people are way better in research and technology . MOST CESARE Indians. It's Indian companies that own jaguar, land rover and Pininfarina. India is the manufacturer hub for most of cars.
Remind me what an Australian car offers. Oh wait.. you don’t make anything anymore.
Ab kya gand pe airbag chahiy tuze takle
Mahindra should not bother about small and low income markets like Australia.. instead should focus on Europe
