Mahindra
has launched the BS6 Scorpio in India, with prices starting at INR 11.98 lakh.
The new compact SUV is available in fewer configurations. Mahindra has revised the variant line-up of the Scorpio
along with the BS6 upgrade. The company has deleted the base S3 variant and now
offers the ladder-frame compact SUV in only the S5, S7, S9 and S11 variants.
The carried over variants haven't changed much with respect to equipment. The
S5 variant has received lead-me-to-vehicle headlamps. The S11 variant is no
longer available with the part-time four-wheeler drive system option.
Mahindra
used to offer the Scorpio with three diesel engines previously. The base option
was a 2.5-litre m2DICR unit producing 75 HP at 3,200 rpm and 200 Nm of torque
at 1,400-2,200 rpm. The second option was a 2.2-litre mHawk that developed 120
HP at 4,000 rpm and 280 Nm of torque at 1,800-2,800 rpm. Both these engines
came with a 5-speed MT. The top-end option was a 2.2-litre mHawk unit that
delivered 140 HP at 3,750 rpm and 320 Nm of torque at 1,500-2,800 rpm. It was
available with only a 6-speed MT.
Mahindra
has upgraded only the top-end 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine to comply with the
BS6 emission norms. This engine still produces a maximum power of 140 HP at
3,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 320 Nm at 1,500-2,800 rpm. As before, it is
linked to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard.
