There are news in India where Scorpio n front suspension is breaking without any cause and Mahindra is blaming the driver that he was doing 120 km speed. There are multiple bad quality parts in Mahindra cars. Bad engineering bad quality check
Global ncap of uk give 5 star safety rating to this car, Australian ncap give 0 star. What the hell are going on? Are you kidding us? Australian ncap want exit mahindra cars from Australia that's why they gave such bad safety rating to this car.
idk about the australian tuned suspension but the indian tuned suspension was so stiff you could feel irregularities on the road which i didnt feel in other cars. plus after test driving the scorpio n i got car sickness.
@@sanjugartan just like 2 airbags are standard in india in australia adas is a standard. if an australian or american manufacturer came to india with a car which has no airbags it would get a 0 star rating the blame is on mahindra for not including adas which is clearly a standard like seatbelts or airbags in australia.
the problem with "crash prevention" safety tech like ADAS is that in markets like India/nepal they can actually cause more accidents due to the nature of traffic
yes but that will take about another 3 to 5 years just for the R&D and that will also make the price go up to same as a Japanese and when that happen no one would buy it ! @@rajanicn9269

Agreed. We have two Volvos, one is MY12 (usually my car) and the other is MY15 (usually my wife’s). I find the newer car’s ’driver aids’ far more intrusive and generally turn some of them off every time.

I actually prefer not to have all those gizmos. Nothing is more infuriating than constant chiming of the overspeed, driver alert and fighting with lane keeping assistance. ANCAP rating is there to prevent newcomers getting a slice of the Ford/Toyota market share. Five star rating in my book.
They should have an overall safety rating which includes the accident prevention rating. However, they should also include a crash safety rating which doesn't consider the ADAS but only how it protects the passengers.

As of today-ish, a 2024 Volvo XC60 (among others) has no safety rating purely because it ‘expires’. Always worth reading more into a safety rating like the guys say in the video.
If ANCAP developed a rating system for hotels, they would decide a hotel gets maximum of zero stars if it doesn't have fast wifi. Thats how random and bizarre their requirements are. So this car is 5 star international, 4 star just a year ago, but now zero star because someone at ANCAP decided auto-mated breaking - which is more likely to make you stop when you want to quickly pull out.
So you're saying that if a cow suddenly appeared on the road, you should want to quickly pull up, not stop altogether 🤔?. Must be the screeching of the tyres may cause permanent hearing impairment for the cow, so better just hit it quietly with no autonomous braking screeching of tyres!. That's a very good Indian Mahindra safety tech!!.
@@DaniilBalkans-jh2rwIt’s not that it won’t brake, it’s that it won’t brake “ automatically”, and it is ridiculous to give a zero for that. Drive in India to figure out why automatic braking is more likely to kill people than save them
This was a really interesting long-term review for us... 😅 what do you think of the Mahindra Scorpio? Here's the complete article and safety deep-dive: www.carsauce.com/car-review/2024-mahindra-scorpio-long-term-review
The problem with the Scorpio's safety rating is because ANCAP needed to make a public spectacle of cars that didnt conform to thier whims, the car's crashworthiness is sound, its not easy to get 5 stars in GNACAP because they actually crash cars to see if the persons inside will make it out in one peice and not on gimmicks like ADAS.

My 2010 commodore wagon has zero rating and I’ve survived just fine along with every car I’ve owned prior, driver aids- that’s what you learn to drive for , I survived in a 1976 mini . I’d like to see tail lights come on with DRL as people think they do.
Matt. I'm 51 years old and have been licenced since just after my 18th birthday. We put too much reliance on safety tech and take away the responsibility we have as drivers. My first car was a 1970 HT kingswood, all wheel drum brakes and 3 on the tree manual. I'm still alive. I care more about crash tests than I do about what safety tech a car has. Recently the road toll is increasing, yet cars have more tech. People have forgotten how to actually drive a car.
Yes, very good review. I have take. My 3rd row seats out, its a 5 minute job, the the boot is massive. But I only use the 7 seats vey much never. But what a nice economical car for its size and price. And you can go off road. I have towed a 130” kg caravan for 1400 km over 3 days in 35 degrees celcius, what a pleasure, doing 110 kph, fuel consumption 12,7l/100 km. Excellent
What can be done with the massive and intrusive mounting points for the 3rd row seats? They're a real problem for me! The poor storage such as a single cupholder and central bin would require a rethink of the cabin The zero ANCAP safety rating is a bad joke, especially for such a strong, well-engineered vehicle! The distractions and unreliability of all the mandatory electronic gizmos may well be contributing to the road toll, especially if drivers start relying on them! Meanwhile, the Mahindra Pikup is selling new in 2024 without any side bags but scores 3 from ANCAP! Maybe farmer's lives don't matter? So many commercial vehicles were allowed to be sold in Australia with only a driver's airbag and no side or head bags.
@@johnpostle502 ridiculous. Fortunately jn S Africa we dont have all the regulations and many people rightly so or not is switching off the so called safety things like lane change etc. Maybe its not as safe as the ANCAP people think. And I believe that safety systems that can be switched off because it is no proven safety factor, compared to ABS and airbags who cant be switched off as this is a real built in safety aspects. So how can they rate a car on safety if the systems can be used at will, then it isnt a safety factor…….. they havent made it compulsory. The boot isnt flat yes, its however not a problem to me as I normally have quite a load and the flatness of the boot is not playing a role for me.
With that logic, al ford car in India should have been left hand drive because they are from american company 😂. Most automaker makes cars based on country specification so its a lame excuse.

@@adwaitsalve6531 Nearly 1 million Scorpio is running on Earth that have travelled Billions of kilometres combined. I wonder why only one such case came forward? Ooooh... Maybe because he knew some issue was there in wheel some was misaligned or loose yet ! He still went on long tour and tested it at speeds over 120kmph which he said himself and was detected digitally as well. If there is something wrong with your vehicle, you either don't drive it or don't take it to high speeds BUT IF YOU DO, YOU ARE PLAIN STUPID. If there was a quality issue it would appear randomly in multiple vehicles, but it appeared one in literally in million. If you don't understand this simple fact, I wonder which school you went to dude. Don't be a sheep and believe if someone got hurt he must be right always.
Its not one. Thats the one came to social media highlight. There are many cases filled with such incidence. They never gained attention to social media. They just dont have the right quality standards. Well the choice is yours, you wanna save some bucks or concerned more with your family safety.
To me it sounds like Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi and Isuzu may have had some influence on ANCAP when they found out the selling price. Maybe the Gov't thought they'd get less sales tax too if it was half the price of a Toyota.
The most well rounded review I have seen so far. I was torn between this and the xuv and the only way I could make up mind would be if I spent enough time with both cars. This video helps a lot. Cheers!

ADAS (Arrogant Driver Assistance Systems), for those who are so full of self importance that they think it’s quite ok to update apps and text whilst driving. ANCAP puts far to much emphasis on systems that are ultimately the responsibility of the driver, not the car.
This SUV is magic, I really did not wan't to take the one's I have back , It was like losing a girlfriend, I felt sad to let her go. one of the best entry level 4wd's for the outdoor enthusiast. I will buy one any time. I love this car.
I'm really starting to think that maybe a longer version of this could be a good idea to have both the seating capacity and cargo capacity in one. Of course it doesn't really solve the packaging issues with the seats, but I still think there could be interest in it.
It already is at nearly 4700mm long, anything bigger will suck as an SUV as longer the wheelbase, worser it's off-roading capability. Maybe it should just ditch the 3rd row and be a 4/5 seater proper SUV.

My Mahindra Scorpio N (5 months old) has just been towed into Centurion Service Centre. It died on the Highway. Roadside Assist App didn't work. 9th time that the car has gone back to the dealership in 3 months currently 268 hours at the dealership.
My Outback also only has one cup holder in the centre, which is fine, it's a narrow '90s car. But y'know what else it has? A second pop-out cup holder in front of the passenger! You're not at all wrong to complain about this. Do better, Mahindra! Maybe they could do cup holders beneath the outboard air vents like some utes and other SUVs have.
This “wrap them up in cottonwool” thinking also put us in lockdowns for our own protection. I prefer fewer autonomous safety features as they themselves become the distracting force when driving.
I'm from India. In India Scorpio's some batches have safety issues. Driver side front wheel assembly comes out for no reason. 1 such incident happened when the car was parked and the wheel assembly detached from the car. One major accident happened barbarised by this and Mahindra denied responsibility. As per the owner, the car was mysteriously burdened after a call with a dealership about an accident. Request Mahindra to solve safety issues.
Hey Man, nice to see australian youtubers also reviewing and appreciating Indian cars.

I'll greatly appreciate that if you guys made some content together. Love from India
So basically it doesn’t have stuff for idiots who’d rather update Facebook, or text, then concentrate on driving. Oh that and the ‘can you get out if it ends up under water’ test? Seriously, ANCAP have completely lost the plot. If it’s structurally designed to protect the occupants, ABS, Stability Control, traction control, effective airbags, and how about roll over (which I understand ANCAP don’t even bother testing), then great.
Renault Zoe has a zero star Euro NCAP rating. It was all assistant, nanny tech, the model before got 5 stars. It’s not worse, it’s that the perimeters changed.

ANCAP ratings would help set guidelines for almost all manufacturers to ensure their car passes them on almost majority of the parameters this would be taken care of specially when you are trying to make inroads in a country/market. I understand the rationale behind changing goal posts(somewhat necessary as well) but what I am surprised about is the lack of communication between the manufacturer and the agency. Also mapping a car zero stars because it faults on a set of parameters requires a deeper analysis and further study. My personal understanding of the situation is that for a car to score a zero stars is because the car is absolutely a safety hazard which isnt the case here and hence ANCAP ratings are biased towards few manufacturers.
Personally I feel while launching a new product Mahindra should have future proofed the car. A zero rating looks really bad, they knew at the time of launch that they snuck it in just before rules changed. I hope they fix it soon.
My ten year old Grand Scenic does not have some of this ANCAP s'tuff' nor does my Piaggio scooter!!!! And we won't talk about my four Landrover series III's that basically smash anything that they hit!!!!!
Nice review. Captain's chairs is not new to Australia. In the late 70s I was driving an old Chrysler by Chrysler with a 360 motor and equipped with thick arm rests for both hands for driver and front passenger. When you state Captain Chairs, do you mean it swivels around? My 2010 ten year old Nissan Elgrand Highway Star had those back in 2020. Also RV Motor homes have them. Keep up the great reviews.

The crash prevention tech in my previous Honda Civic (emergency brakes) and current Stinger's (Lane assist) have almost gotten me into near accidents. I keep my lane assist off because it's so intrusive. Anyways I do think people should have the option to have it, I guess.
I took a tank 300 for a test drive and the lane keep assist could have broken my thumbs with the violent way it works. I also drove an xc90 and the way it will brake when either reversing or crossing traffic from detecting cars that are pretty far away is so annoying. So with all this autonomous garbage on cars, driving tests should basically be made obsolete. Licenses for everyone!!!

The reason that I would never buy any of the other makes of new 4x4s is because they are fitted with autonomous braking and lane departure and driver alert. They annoy the crap out of me. I am the driver, NOT the car! The fact that the Scorpio N8L does not have that garbage included is one of the bigger reasons that I would seriously consider buying one. That and the all aluminium motor, although I wish that it was a three litre or lager capacity engine. The 2.5 tonne tow rating is a weak point for me.
Australia is well known to be a nanny state where everything is over regulated, so if you guys want to drive in autonomous bubble wrapped vehicles it's your prerogative. Vehicles are not only practical, functional and safe, they also evoke emotion and feelings. No one remembers how good safety features were, we remember how the vehicle performed and made you feel. I don't understand how you can develop your own safety rating that gives a vehicle 0 stars compared to the 5 stars of the global rating.

My friend almost got rear ended because his Honda City which has ADAS braked Hard on it's own as a response to bump on the road. I just wanna say that these cars are made keeping Indian Market in Mind. Even the cruise controls, forget adaptive, Even on Highways the car keeps going from 100 - 10 kmps to 100 again thanks to traffic and maniacs. Lastly the Cup holders. Indian Roads are so trash, a coffee cannot survive without spilling, cup holders are basically key or small things storage space here in India. Btw love your videos.
ANCAP should be given zero stars and shut down for the waste of taxpayers money that it is. We don't build cars here anymore, so we don't need a local crash testing facility. Just send some Australian Reps to where the cars are tested, to ensure it's done All the current situation is doing is driving up the cost of imported cars, because they have to retest here, due to the Australian ego.
Even today, wait period for this car in India is atleast 1 year. It is one of the most popular and safest SUV in India. I think they should take average and give rating. 5 star on crash test and 0 star on automatic safety. Average should be 2.5. 😕
What star rating did Lady DI merc have??? I think it all depends on the way the crash takes place!!! Sometimes some people just get unlucky. When u fly a Boeing 777 till u land , its ur own risk!😊 good review anyway!

One only needs to look at the current road toll and accident reports which highlight the failure to the DRIVER's not paying attention or actually driving the car correctly. Relying on Nanny State electronics to warn a driver to drive safely or within the boundaries is a prop for idiots
I have trouble choosing a car because too many have not made the effort to put the column stalks the right way around for right hand drive. Can some one make this uniform for car makers to get their vehicles into this country, accident do happen when your attention is not on the road and steering the vehicle. Arm rests were in the cars before your time and so was the go pedal.
If further modernized, this may potentially rival the XUV 700. When the Scorpio was initially introduced in India in 2002, it stood as Mahindra's premier SUV offering. However, with the advent of the XUV 500 (previous generation of XUV 700), it carved its own niche in the market. Unless Mahindra can establish a clearer distinction between the two, they might prefer maintaining the current positioning.
These autonomous safety aids are actually overkill. Lane keep assist and ADAS and Emergency Braking. Those who drive cars need to be alert and not be peering at their screens and fiddling with the console and/ or looking at their mobiles while driving. If the world were to promote alertness when performing any task, including driving, people would automatically be more efficient and safer.
Couldn’t care less about ADAS. The elephant in the room with the Scorpio, is the boot. The entire storage area of the car needs to be fixed, it’s an absolute mess. Remove the third row, flatten the floor, and provide a cargo blind.
More computers is more things to go wrong at the worst possible time. The best accident prevention is good driver training, a rigorous driving test, fatigue awareness and zero alcohol/drugs. Make the physical structure safe in the event of crash in terms of crumple zones, airbags, pedestrian safety etc. and leave the awareness and "smarts" to the driver.

The Ancap star rating based on crash prevention is nonsense. What I as a consumer wants to know is “are my children safe when I drive into a tree” and to be honest, in this thing, no they aren’t. BUT I wouldn’t buy a family car with a 3 star rating. (I actually wouldn’t buy one without aeb, but thats beside the point) I want to know is how does it crash? Not can it avoid one.

If ANCAP developed a rating system for hotels, they would decide a hotel gets maximum of zero stars if it doesn't have fast wifi. Thats how random and bizarre their requirements are. So this car is 5 star international, 4 star just a year ago, but now zero star because someone at ANCAP decided auto-mated breaking - which is more likely to make you stop when you want to quickly pull out.
So you're saying that if a cow suddenly appeared on the road, you should want to quickly pull up, not stop altogether 🤔?. Must be the screeching of the tyres may cause permanent hearing impairment for the cow, so better just hit it quietly with no autonomous braking screeching of tyres!. That's a very good Indian Mahindra safety tech!!.
@@DaniilBalkans-jh2rwIt’s not that it won’t brake, it’s that it won’t brake “ automatically”, and it is ridiculous to give a zero for that. Drive in India to figure out why automatic braking is more likely to kill people than save them

This was a really interesting long-term review for us... 😅 what do you think of the Mahindra Scorpio?
Here's the complete article and safety deep-dive:
www.carsauce.com/car-review/2024-mahindra-scorpio-long-term-review
Mahindra cars best product is Bolero ....If you morden man you might not like it but in india that's best goddamn car for driving without care
The problem with the Scorpio's safety rating is because ANCAP needed to make a public spectacle of cars that didnt conform to thier whims, the car's crashworthiness is sound, its not easy to get 5 stars in GNACAP because they actually crash cars to see if the persons inside will make it out in one peice and not on gimmicks like ADAS.
I agree it wont comes with any active safety features like ADAS
But in case of passsive safety its really nice
The maximum marks that can be obtained for Adas features is 18,
while BMW M5 has only 14.

Ha ha so true😅
My 2010 commodore wagon has zero rating and I’ve survived just fine along with every car I’ve owned prior, driver aids- that’s what you learn to drive for , I survived in a 1976 mini .
I’d like to see tail lights come on with DRL as people think they do.
Matt. I'm 51 years old and have been licenced since just after my 18th birthday. We put too much reliance on safety tech and take away the responsibility we have as drivers. My first car was a 1970 HT kingswood, all wheel drum brakes and 3 on the tree manual. I'm still alive. I care more about crash tests than I do about what safety tech a car has. Recently the road toll is increasing, yet cars have more tech. People have forgotten how to actually drive a car.
Yes, very good review. I have take. My 3rd row seats out, its a 5 minute job, the the boot is massive. But I only use the 7 seats vey much never. But what a nice economical car for its size and price. And you can go off road. I have towed a 130” kg caravan for 1400 km over 3 days in 35 degrees celcius, what a pleasure, doing 110 kph, fuel consumption 12,7l/100 km. Excellent
What can be done with the massive and intrusive mounting points for the 3rd row seats? They're a real problem for me!
The poor storage such as a single cupholder and central bin would require a rethink of the cabin
The zero ANCAP safety rating is a bad joke, especially for such a strong, well-engineered vehicle! The distractions and unreliability of all the mandatory electronic gizmos may well be contributing to the road toll, especially if drivers start relying on them!
Meanwhile, the Mahindra Pikup is selling new in 2024 without any side bags but scores 3 from ANCAP! Maybe farmer's lives don't matter?
So many commercial vehicles were allowed to be sold in Australia with only a driver's airbag and no side or head bags.
@@johnpostle502 ridiculous. Fortunately jn S Africa we dont have all the regulations and many people rightly so or not is switching off the so called safety things like lane change etc. Maybe its not as safe as the ANCAP people think. And I believe that safety systems that can be switched off because it is no proven safety factor, compared to ABS and airbags who cant be switched off as this is a real built in safety aspects. So how can they rate a car on safety if the systems can be used at will, then it isnt a safety factor…….. they havent made it compulsory.
The boot isnt flat yes, its however not a problem to me as I normally have quite a load and the flatness of the boot is not playing a role for me.

Nearly 1 million Scorpio is running on Earth that have travelled Billions of kilometres combined.
I wonder why only one such case came forward? Ooooh... Maybe because he knew some issue was there in wheel some was misaligned or loose yet ! He still went on long tour and tested it at speeds over 120kmph which he said himself and was detected digitally as well.
If there is something wrong with your vehicle, you either don't drive it or don't take it to high speeds BUT IF YOU DO, YOU ARE PLAIN STUPID.
If there was a quality issue it would appear randomly in multiple vehicles, but it appeared one in literally in million.
If you don't understand this simple fact, I wonder which school you went to dude. Don't be a sheep and believe if someone got hurt he must be right always.
Its not one. Thats the one came to social media highlight. There are many cases filled with such incidence. They never gained attention to social media. They just dont have the right quality standards. Well the choice is yours, you wanna save some bucks or concerned more with your family safety.
@@Raya8307 Bro that IDIOT doesn't even own a Scorpio N and is just choosing it🤡🤡....He is bootlicking Mahindra like crazy🤣

To me it sounds like Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi and Isuzu may have had some influence on ANCAP when they found out the selling price. Maybe the Gov't thought they'd get less sales tax too if it was half the price of a Toyota.
The most well rounded review I have seen so far. I was torn between this and the xuv and the only way I could make up mind would be if I spent enough time with both cars. This video helps a lot.
Cheers!
There are safety issues with this machine. Google team bhp Scorpio N accident to know more. Mahindra is not transparent and not performing safety recall
Wait what , it couldn’t be simpler
Putting the price aside
The XUV is more city focused with a unibody construction ( more sedan like ) , so handles better and the Scorpio is a proper ladder on frame that can handle some off road but with the added downside of worse handling and more body roll
And it does have a proper emergency brake, unlike others which have that el cheapo EPB.
so wait, the Chinese car Cherry gets 5 stars of safety for being a death trap.
And the Scorpio gets zero!
Agree!

ADAS (Arrogant Driver Assistance Systems), for those who are so full of self importance that they think it’s quite ok to update apps and text whilst driving. ANCAP puts far to much emphasis on systems that are ultimately the responsibility of the driver, not the car.
This SUV is magic, I really did not wan't to take the one's I have back , It was like losing a girlfriend, I felt sad to let her go. one of the best entry level 4wd's for the outdoor enthusiast. I will buy one any time. I love this car.
I'm really starting to think that maybe a longer version of this could be a good idea to have both the seating capacity and cargo capacity in one. Of course it doesn't really solve the packaging issues with the seats, but I still think there could be interest in it.
It already is at nearly 4700mm long, anything bigger will suck as an SUV as longer the wheelbase, worser it's off-roading capability. Maybe it should just ditch the 3rd row and be a 4/5 seater proper SUV.

So what?
ANCAP already just copies and pastes Euro NCAP data for cars that they can't test themselves, they may as well use it and other crash testing NCAPS, instead of sucking up $16 million dollars of taxpayers money over the next 5 years.
The average cost per test is $780,000, which is paid by the manufacturer who, naturally, passes that cost on to the consumer.

My Mahindra Scorpio N (5 months old) has just been towed into Centurion Service Centre. It died on the Highway. Roadside Assist App didn't work. 9th time that the car has gone back to the dealership in 3 months currently 268 hours at the dealership.
My Outback also only has one cup holder in the centre, which is fine, it's a narrow '90s car. But y'know what else it has? A second pop-out cup holder in front of the passenger! You're not at all wrong to complain about this. Do better, Mahindra! Maybe they could do cup holders beneath the outboard air vents like some utes and other SUVs have.
This “wrap them up in cottonwool” thinking also put us in lockdowns for our own protection. I prefer fewer autonomous safety features as they themselves become the distracting force when driving.
I'm from India. In India Scorpio's some batches have safety issues. Driver side front wheel assembly comes out for no reason. 1 such incident happened when the car was parked and the wheel assembly detached from the car. One major accident happened barbarised by this and Mahindra denied responsibility. As per the owner, the car was mysteriously burdened after a call with a dealership about an accident. Request Mahindra to solve safety issues.

So basically it doesn’t have stuff for idiots who’d rather update Facebook, or text, then concentrate on driving. Oh that and the ‘can you get out if it ends up under water’ test? Seriously, ANCAP have completely lost the plot. If it’s structurally designed to protect the occupants, ABS, Stability Control, traction control, effective airbags, and how about roll over (which I understand ANCAP don’t even bother testing), then great.
Well I am excited because hopefully a S/HScopio will drop dramatically in value and I can find one at a GOOD price😂
Renault Zoe has a zero star Euro NCAP rating. It was all assistant, nanny tech, the model before got 5 stars. It’s not worse, it’s that the perimeters changed.
If they put the safety tech on then yes. Although ANCRAP is not to be trusted just ask JC.
Or better ask the owner in India who lost his leg after the car's wheel fell off

ANCAP ratings would help set guidelines for almost all manufacturers to ensure their car passes them on almost majority of the parameters this would be taken care of specially when you are trying to make inroads in a country/market. I understand the rationale behind changing goal posts(somewhat necessary as well) but what I am surprised about is the lack of communication between the manufacturer and the agency. Also mapping a car zero stars because it faults on a set of parameters requires a deeper analysis and further study. My personal understanding of the situation is that for a car to score a zero stars is because the car is absolutely a safety hazard which isnt the case here and hence ANCAP ratings are biased towards few manufacturers.
The vehicle overall is very good, & the missing safety gear will be added to the vehicle within the next several months.
@@babukrishnan4703bro stfu lmfao it has 5 star Gncap stop commenting everywhere like a lifeless scum 😂

Personally I feel while launching a new product Mahindra should have future proofed the car. A zero rating looks really bad, they knew at the time of launch that they snuck it in just before rules changed. I hope they fix it soon.

Nice review. Captain's chairs is not new to Australia. In the late 70s I was driving an old Chrysler by Chrysler with a 360 motor and equipped with thick arm rests for both hands for driver and front passenger.

The crash prevention tech in my previous Honda Civic (emergency brakes) and current Stinger's (Lane assist) have almost gotten me into near accidents. I keep my lane assist off because it's so intrusive. Anyways I do think people should have the option to have it, I guess.
*brakes.....
I took a tank 300 for a test drive and the lane keep assist could have broken my thumbs with the violent way it works. I also drove an xc90 and the way it will brake when either reversing or crossing traffic from detecting cars that are pretty far away is so annoying. So with all this autonomous garbage on cars, driving tests should basically be made obsolete. Licenses for everyone!!!

The reason that I would never buy any of the other makes of new 4x4s is because they are fitted with autonomous braking and lane departure and driver alert. They annoy the crap out of me. I am the driver, NOT the car!
The fact that the Scorpio N8L does not have that garbage included is one of the bigger reasons that I would seriously consider buying one. That and the all aluminium motor, although I wish that it was a three litre or lager capacity engine. The 2.5 tonne tow rating is a weak point for me.
Australia is well known to be a nanny state where everything is over regulated, so if you guys want to drive in autonomous bubble wrapped vehicles it's your prerogative. Vehicles are not only practical, functional and safe, they also evoke emotion and feelings. No one remembers how good safety features were, we remember how the vehicle performed and made you feel. I don't understand how you can develop your own safety rating that gives a vehicle 0 stars compared to the 5 stars of the global rating.

Can some one make this uniform for car makers to get their vehicles into this country, accident do happen when your attention is not on the road and steering the vehicle. Arm rests were in the cars before your time and so was the go pedal.
@Indianbackpacker is coming to Australia with his mafia Scorpio N
If further modernized, this may potentially rival the XUV 700. When the Scorpio was initially introduced in India in 2002, it stood as Mahindra's premier SUV offering. However, with the advent of the XUV 500 (previous generation of XUV 700), it carved its own niche in the market. Unless Mahindra can establish a clearer distinction between the two, they might prefer maintaining the current positioning.
at 20:21 the camoflaged car in front of the thar is it me or its looking like a bigger scorpio???
These autonomous safety aids are actually overkill. Lane keep assist and ADAS and Emergency Braking.
Those who drive cars need to be alert and not be peering at their screens and fiddling with the console and/ or looking at their mobiles while driving. If the world were to promote alertness when performing any task, including driving, people would automatically be more efficient and safer.
Couldn’t care less about ADAS. The elephant in the room with the Scorpio, is the boot. The entire storage area of the car needs to be fixed, it’s an absolute mess. Remove the third row, flatten the floor, and provide a cargo blind.
More computers is more things to go wrong at the worst possible time. The best accident prevention is good driver training, a rigorous driving test, fatigue awareness and zero alcohol/drugs. Make the physical structure safe in the event of crash in terms of crumple zones, airbags, pedestrian safety etc. and leave the awareness and "smarts" to the driver.
Scorpion is made for long tours because you wont feel like its been a long time in them its that comfy.

Hi Matt and Jacob.
When are you going to review the LDV D90
Thanks Gary
happy new year mate
The Ancap star rating based on crash prevention is nonsense. What I as a consumer wants to know is “are my children safe when I drive into a tree” and to be honest, in this thing, no they aren’t. BUT I wouldn’t buy a family car with a 3 star rating. (I actually wouldn’t buy one without aeb, but thats beside the point) I want to know is how does it crash? Not can it avoid one.
