Mahindra Scorpio
Mahindra Scorpio is one of
the highest selling SUVs in India. Since its launch in 2002 it has
stayed on top to serve the SUV instinct of thousands of Indians. What
makes Scorpio special for Mahindra & Mahindra is that it allowed M&M to
be launched as a passenger car seller in contrast to its previous
reputation as a manufacturer of Utility Vehicles meant for rural areas.
Over the years M&M has managed to keep Scorpio fresh by incorporating
constant technological advances in the car. In 2005 Mahindra Scorpio was
the first Indian car with
Common Rail Diesel Engine (CRDe). This engine technology provided
for a whopping 120 bhp of power, lesser noise, lesser vibration and more
fuel efficiency. This made it comparable to foreign made cars. The most
striking part of Scorpio is the signature off-roading gene of Mahindra
vehicles that it carries. Scorpio is the best affordable SUV for off-roading
in India. The list of its attractions is long but it is remarkable for
its immense road presence, great ride quality, a powerful and efficient
diesel engine, comfortable seating and Hi-tech equipments. To name a few
technologies, Scorpio sports Automatic Transmission, Micro Hybrid
Technology, ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System), Bluetooth Connectivity,
Bluevision - bulb in headlamps, Twinpod Instrument Cluster, Front Dual
Airbags and much more.
Indians like to travel around with
friends and family and SUVs will always have a stronghold in the Indian
Automobile market. If you are an owner of a SUV or if you plan to buy
one, then, HAPPY
DRIVING!!!
