    What’s being referred to as a plastic tailgate is technically known as a thermoplastic or composite tailgate, which is a glass-filled plastic polymer. This material is essentially what car bumpers are made of. Some examples of cars that use thermoplastic tailgates are the Range Rover Velar, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC60, Jaguar F-Pace

    I have a few corrections to suggest in this review ( I own a XUV 700)
    1. The memory for seat adjustment. --> It works with a single click of the button if done before switching the car on. Once Car is turned on, it requires long press.
    2. FRP material(is very strong) is used for tail gate door, which is quite common in high end German cars like BMW as well.
    3. The Automatic engine on/off on complete stop of car is actually quite intelligent. It doesn't switch off the engine if there are immediate consecutive stops(as in very tight bumper to bumper slow moving traffic) in very short distance. That is why it doesn't turn the engine on during the when you try to disable the feature when engine is in off state. But i agree this could have been better.

    Great review. These are now just hitting our shores in Australia 🇦🇺. We only get diesel variants , but that's not a bad thing as the diesel is Euro 6 compliant & pretty refined , & yep the quality overall is very , very good. The Mahindra Scorpio N has been here about 6 wks & is getting great reviews locally. So its a definite GO & BUY either one from me. Apart from a lack of some safety gear here in Australia, it shouldn't deter prospective buyers.

Also tastes in design are very different in West and India. Indian design looks very cheap, low quality and tacky.
