One of the popular vehicles in Mahindra’s portfolio, the Scorpio, has been launched in the ‘Adventure’ guise as a limited edition. The updated graphics accentuate the Scorpio’s macho stance. The feature-train doesn’t end there.
In addition to the graphics, the exterior has been given a dual-tone treatment in White and Mist Silver. The gun metal alloys with red callipers peeping out, complement the paint job. While the front of the SUV remains unchanged the tail lamps have been given a ‘smoked-out’ appearance. The interior is now upholstered in faux leather.
The Adventure edition also has a couple of other wins over the existing top-end model. It gets indicator-mounted outside rear-view mirrors and a rear-view camera (Somewhere, potential customers sigh with relief). However, the engine has received no changes and it continues to be powered by the four-cylinder turbo-diesel that produces 120 PS at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 280 Nm from 1,800-2,800 rpm.
The two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive variants of the Adventure edition are priced at Rs 13.62 lakh and Rs 14.80 lakh respectively (ex-showroom, Pune) while the two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive S10 variants of the current Scorpio are priced at Rs 13.22 lakh and Rs 14.20 lakh (ex-showrrom, Pune) respectively.
