This car seems like for adventerous blood and not for family people. For a person who don't want to break their bank, it's best bang for buck in terms of 4*4. I recently gifted a car for my dad on his retirement day, but not this one as it has many drawbacks for family car especially not sliding middle row. But I'm considering for this one as its the great one. Does anyone have any idea if it has waiting period or not? when they'll start delivering? and is it worth buying in terms of new active safety regulations coming? what about ANCAP here?
In terms of ANCAP here, Mahindra told us they will look to do that testing in the future. This is presumably when they get some additional advanced safety tech like AEB. Maybe by the end of 2025?
i am guessing, if you load the Scorpio N with some People (weight), the ride quality might improve a bit. because the suspension might be tuned for some more weight than just a driver or driver + one co-passeger.
So a good ole car that you drive not just guide. Active safety stuff is handy…but and it made us too complacent? I kinda thing so. I own both a new car and older one…and in the new one it’s too easy to put your brain in neutral. I’ve had no close calls in the old Subaru outback because my mind is on the job in it
Every review is different about Scorpio some are biased and are good and some people are comparing to big bakkies Likes of Everest but what Mahindra is done is Take a suv which is Rav4 size made into ladder frame Rugged suv that’s the catch You can driveway a 4x4 for $20k cheaper if you can’t afford a ford or Toyota which are toxic these days.
We also have more than 1 year waiting period few of the mahindras like XUV700(best for city driving with all the luxury). They claim that they are short of semiconductor chips
The comparison to those other brand vehicals is wrong . This thing sits in the space where nothing is available, last vehical in this size was the pathfinder 4X4 wagon which ended here years ago.
Best thing about my prado is the 6 cup holders in the front. 2 in each door and 2 in front of shifter. Makes maccas runs for the family easy by yourself.

What I find hard is the sweeping statements that the reviewers make towards the end. If one views each section of the video, it sounds pretty good a car for the money. But if you just look at summary section, you would not be that impressed by the statements.
Refreshingly unpretentious review when so many video reviewers seem to be pushing their own personalities at the expense of the usefulness of the car review. I don't have much vested interest in the Mahindra as we don't have the brand in the UK where I am, but I do like it!. Strikes me that the car is more flawed as a 6/7 seater than it would be as a 5 seater though, which makes me wonder why it has 3 rows of seats (is that a deal breaker in Australia?). If the 3rd row could be folded right out of the way under the floor, or be easily removed, it would probably be worth having them "just in case". But it seems that the Scorpio isn't big enough for a 3rd row, so should just have a rear bench along with a much bigger boot. The passive safety I'm in two minds about. Yes it is useful to have, but at the same time it does rather allow drivers to, not be concentrating on driving as much as they should, be knowing that the car will bail them out. Here in the UK, the Dacia brand has been criticised for a similar lack of passive safety features, and fares poorly in Euro Ncap crash tests because of this. But Dacia have deliberately done this to keep the prices low and in the event of an accident, they certainly seem to hold up fine.
This is a Dependable, Value-For-Money OffRoader Family Car, with extremely low maintenance and a Superb Brand Equity in India to back it. For those, who spend more time Driving and Exploring...
In India this cost a little less than $30800 direct conversion for the top end model. This price makes it very lucrative, but in the end it's own sibling xuv700 is a better option.
It's a pretty decent vehicle overall. It will get the missing safety within about 12-18 months & the infotainment unit should upgrade to the Adreno X system with Sat Nav & Alexa at the same time
i have a mahindra scorpio n 4x4 for 3 months and i drove it around 17,000 kms approx. its a fantastic car. i took it from ramnad to lucknow, Mumbai then back to chennai. it didn't disappoint me..
True..I'm proud of Mahindra and anything Indian but sometimes I wish Indians leave international channels alone and let international audience have their opinions and discussion
Car journalists keep talking about some of the safety tech this car is missing. There are 1000’s of cars on the road we have driven for years without that safety tech and it’s never been a problem.
Requirements for a five star safety score in Australia are getting harder and harder so we think it is worth mentioning, but there are plenty of cars that are safe just not 2023 5 star safe.
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.
The problem with Mahindra is that, they are not ready for foreign markets and the market in which they are doing good, they are not being able to supply the demand, this car has 18 months of waiting period here in India.
Mahindra is just copy pasting India specific product to Foreign Market with out changing any thing in cars, They can add extra features for extra price, price will not be a problem in AUS or any other FM but they are not serious about the FM.
Mahindra should just keep two rows and 5 people can fit easily. The middle row can have a large seat than two independent seats. Remove the third row and keep it as large boot space. The third row is literally for enemies. One of my friends bought this car and I along with another person got stuck in 3rd row and as 6 ft tall person it was not really comfortable.
I hate the side opening rear tailgate, it's a nuisance in tight spaces and usually you are in tight spaces most of the time in urban areas. Mahindra should change it to a top opening tailgate like the xuv 700.
Absolutely INCORRECT about the "diff lock" 🤦 It does NOT have an auto locking differential. What it has is a BLD (Brake Lock Differential) system which does NOT lock any differential. It just brakes the slipping wheel, and then the power goes to the other wheel. That's it. The actual differential is never locked. The Fortuner and Everest come with an electronic (not automaric) diff lock that you have to engage by pressing the diff lock button. Please reaearch a bit before making such videos.
Thanks for watching, just to clarify, Australian-delivered Scorpios are equipped with an auto-locking differential, but this unit can also operate as a brake-locking differential depending on the operating conditions. There is mechanical locking capability, however it's only auto-engaged with no driver engaged manual lock.
More meaning 'low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services' then 'of little worth because achieved in a discreditable way requiring little effort.'
Mahindra is doing research on best safety,in India We have 33 crore gods , Mahindra will give every buyer one god ...so no need of mechanical AI ADAS. Every review i see from Australia i hear there is no ADAS, then why they love to drive, see the performance. Any non professional off roader can do off road highly comfortable and with ease. No manual off roading skills required.
I came here to watch the review but made the mistake of scrolling down and seeing all the hilarious Indian arguments in comments section. Reminds me of that video with the two guys "You bloody.. no you bloody blastard bitchh you bloody.. no you mudda bloody" Anyway, car looks nice in the green.
1:16 Mahindra Australia has done a sensible job of removing front speakers from the driver & co-driver overhead position. In India, Mahindra Scorpio-N is offered with front speakers right on the head (on the outer width of both the sunvisors) and boy o boy do we see water seeping in through that speaker cut-out right into the cabin 🤡🤡

Why do motoring journos crap on about 7 seats. The Aussies family consists of mum, dad and 1.8 kids. We had 3 kids and only ever used 6 seats, so the Scorpion is spot on. Love the captain chairs too. I owned 8 landcruisers in my time, but have stopped buying them due to Toyota greed. I would buy one of these next time around
A budget Everest is literally what this is if u didnt knw Ford was the one who helped Mahindra build the ScorpioN and Xuv 700 (700 is a budget ford explorer change my mind)
Hey, Just want to highlight. If anyone did notice the car crossing a cyclist @ 1.55 min, however I didn't see the same cyclist after the car has passed..
In India not the base model comes around 24k.. now in Australia it is higher because of transportation cost/or the government taxes I guess ... Like apple selling cheaper in US Canada market but it is higher in India
In india you can buy 2 mahindra scorpio N in toyota fortuner price , 60% lesser price than fortuner , so its a good choice , still it’s try to compete with 2 times higher price car

i have a mahindra scorpio n 4x4 for 3 months and i drove it around 17,000 kms approx. its a fantastic car. i took it from ramnad to lucknow, Mumbai then back to chennai. it didn't disappoint me..
Please review. Mahindra XUV 700 💥💥💥🚩🚩🚩🔥🔥🔥🚩🚩🚩
We absolutely will. The XUV700 is slated for an Australian launch later in 2023, so as soon as we're able to get behind the wheel, we will.
How do you call the cars like Fortuner, etc. which is more than double the price, a competitor? 🤔
Trust me Indian roads are not up to the mark..but my father drive this car more than 500000 kilometres and still running the best car
I would love to see this in US
It definitely needs a more powerful engine then. Current one is very reliable though.
They are scary lol
Here before, Cringe comments from my countrymen
Edit: Here they came
Ok boomer
and the 100's from the Sub continent pumping up this vehicle for no apparent reason.
True..I'm proud of Mahindra and anything Indian but sometimes I wish Indians leave international channels alone and let international audience have their opinions and discussion
@@shubamnarayan4581 agreed
Damages are already done
1:50 Its mentioned as 8 speed auto transmission but the scorpio has a 6 speed auto.
Can Consider this..... Looks Great, Hope Performance will also be Great
Car journalists keep talking about some of the safety tech this car is missing. There are 1000’s of cars on the road we have driven for years without that safety tech and it’s never been a problem.
Requirements for a five star safety score in Australia are getting harder and harder so we think it is worth mentioning, but there are plenty of cars that are safe just not 2023 5 star safe.
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.
The problem with Mahindra is that, they are not ready for foreign markets and the market in which they are doing good, they are not being able to supply the demand, this car has 18 months of waiting period here in India.
Mahindra is just copy pasting India specific product to Foreign Market with out changing any thing in cars, They can add extra features for extra price, price will not be a problem in AUS or any other FM but they are not serious about the FM.
At the end of the day when you got into accedent what matters the most is build quality and airbags not the adas
Adas prevents accidents genius
He said that there is no safety in Australia, but in india there is all that in the scorpio
How is the rear parking camera ?
It's there, but the quality isn't very good. - Sam
Absolutely pathetic and laggy
@@sardar_gurjot khajhatistani suar pagdi chod 🤮🤮🤮
Mahindra Scorpio N Is Best Car 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nice Product From Mahindra
This an excellent professional review!👌
Nope. A noob review. How? He doesn't even know the difference between an actual diff lock and a brake lock diff system.
@@RealAutoReviews Not sure what you mean, this has an Eaton auto-locking rear differential for our market, like the Pik-Up.
Thanks for the positive reply!
Also check Mahindra thar-e and thar roxx
Mahindra cars are one of the best off-roader in the world. The way this car manages the toughest terrain 🙌 . Outstanding car made by Mahindra ❤️
This SUV is much better than Toyota Fortuner , Escalade, and other SUV in the cheapest price
What a joke😂
Haha you’re joking right? You get what you pay for lol
Can the third row be removed?
Yes
Need more dealers in Sydney. Only 1 in Kirrawee.
Go for mahindra major 4*4 off road videos...
The lack of safety is concerning. Impossible to drive without warning chimes going off. I would be worried in a quiet car.
People still drive Suzuki
It's 5 star safety rating in ncap😅😅
Its 5 star rated car bro. Stronger than any of the suv's out there
@@ugyenadventure4227 Up the Jimny! - Sam
That's why driver is needed
Now a days traffic on the roads in australia I don’t think anyone is using torque at all😂
I love these car all thing that a family'car a perfect family car thanks to mahindra for these price if they are manufactured in you own country
Mahindra should just keep two rows and 5 people can fit easily. The middle row can have a large seat than two independent seats. Remove the third row and keep it as large boot space. The third row is literally for enemies. One of my friends bought this car and I along with another person got stuck in 3rd row and as 6 ft tall person it was not really comfortable.
Love from India 🇮🇳
How come you got a Christmas gift in April?
Haven't got anything yet!
TBH the no safety tech, even in a car at this price point, seems outrageous in today's market.
5 star safety
Felt more like an Everest review 😅
They should launch it as a 5 seater.
Make Comparison video
I hate the side opening rear tailgate, it's a nuisance in tight spaces and usually you are in tight spaces most of the time in urban areas. Mahindra should change it to a top opening tailgate like the xuv 700.
Best review . Please review xuv700.
Old model is Legend but it is sold as scorpio classic but no 4x4 due to emissjon norms only 2wd
Absolutely INCORRECT about the "diff lock" 🤦 It does NOT have an auto locking differential. What it has is a BLD (Brake Lock Differential) system which does NOT lock any differential. It just brakes the slipping wheel, and then the power goes to the other wheel. That's it. The actual differential is never locked. The Fortuner and Everest come with an electronic (not automaric) diff lock that you have to engage by pressing the diff lock button. Please reaearch a bit before making such videos.
Thanks for watching, just to clarify, Australian-delivered Scorpios are equipped with an auto-locking differential, but this unit can also operate as a brake-locking differential depending on the operating conditions. There is mechanical locking capability, however it's only auto-engaged with no driver engaged manual lock.
please stop calling cheap, its value for money. other brand makes lots of margin asking more price.
More meaning 'low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services' then 'of little worth because achieved in a discreditable way requiring little effort.'
Mahindra is doing research on best safety,in India We have 33 crore gods , Mahindra will give every buyer one god ...so no need of mechanical AI ADAS.
Every review i see from Australia i hear there is no ADAS, then why they love to drive, see the performance.
Any non professional off roader can do off road highly comfortable and with ease.
No manual off roading skills required.
I think they should provide 1 pedofile muhmd also😂😂
I came here to watch the review but made the mistake of scrolling down and seeing all the hilarious Indian arguments in comments section. Reminds me of that video with the two guys "You bloody.. no you bloody blastard bitchh you bloody.. no you mudda bloody" Anyway, car looks nice in the green.
Hahaha
"No active safety equipment".
Thank God for that.
No active safety tech is a deal breaker
1:16 Mahindra Australia has done a sensible job of removing front speakers from the driver & co-driver overhead position. In India, Mahindra Scorpio-N is offered with front speakers right on the head (on the outer width of both the sunvisors) and boy o boy do we see water seeping in through that speaker cut-out right into the cabin 🤡🤡
It is the z8 variant they also have z8l variant with the Sony speakers
@@harshitchandra6340 matlab Australia wale bhi chhat se paani tapakte dekhenge ?? 🤣🤣
@@prakhar.29december Is water seeping in even on normal rainfall? I don't think so. People literally took this vehicle under a waterfall and made videos that water is seeping in.
I have few friends with same model and they haven't had any issue even on heavy monsoon rain. A few things here and there but they seem very happy with the buy.
This what I can accept from arun pawar fanboy. Arun makes entertainment car videos not informative. Watch gagan choudhary video about this
@@a141tho2 and also in that video the sunroof sealing was already broken and the side window was also not closed
Still....what more can we expect from these Arun gawar's fanboys 😂😂
You said the word but more times than price of the car but it's a nice review
in India toyata fourtuner and ford Everest and pajero
really competitor in India is MAHINDRA's ALTURUS❤❤🎉🎉
Not Scorpio 😅
Wishe we had those in US
Why do motoring journos crap on about 7 seats. The Aussies family consists of mum, dad and 1.8 kids. We had 3 kids and only ever used 6 seats, so the Scorpion is spot on.
Love the captain chairs too.
I owned 8 landcruisers in my time, but have stopped buying them due to Toyota greed. I would buy one of these next time around
Proud indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Good to see #Scorpio N an Indian Brand but we are this model in 31799.98 dollars little bit cheaper bro......
A budget Everest is literally what this is if u didnt knw Ford was the one who helped Mahindra build the ScorpioN and Xuv 700 (700 is a budget ford explorer change my mind)
In India it's priced from A$25000
Australia or usa dollar
That prize not of this model this model cost you around $50000 aud
Aus $
That’s for lowest trim, not the Z8 or Z8L 4WD.
Hey,
Just want to highlight.
If anyone did notice the car crossing a cyclist @ 1.55 min, however I didn't see the same cyclist after the car has passed..
Fastest 1Lakh car booking record in world 🌎
Scorpio N fastest booking record 1lakh booking in just 30minutes 😱
It starts at 20k in India....why everything coming to Australia twice the price????? Take any car....
its start in india 20 lakh not 20 k
@@yasvantkumar-ri5zo dude $20000 ........is called 20k.....omg....
In India not the base model comes around 24k.. now in Australia it is higher because of transportation cost/or the government taxes I guess ... Like apple selling cheaper in US Canada market but it is higher in India
Mahindra is popular because of reliability not gimics like this assist that assist
In india you can buy 2 mahindra scorpio N in toyota fortuner price , 60% lesser price than fortuner , so its a good choice , still it’s try to compete with 2 times higher price car
And it’s better than fortuner in driving not in engine aspect
