Which SUV To Buy - Mahindra XUV700 Or Scorpio-N?

 After bringing the extremely popular all-new XUV700 last year, Mahindra has recreated a similar hype with the all-new Scorpio-N. But with the pending arrival of the all-new Scorpio-N in South Africa, there are sure to be many buyers who are confused between the two vehicles. So, here are a few points that will help you choose the better-suited among these SUVs.

Want a rugged SUV?

If you want a rugged SUV, the Scorpio-N is the choice you should make. The SUV does not have as many electronics as the XUV700. Scorpio is made for customers who like to go off the tarmac often and that is why is it built in a more rugged way compared to the Mahindra XUV700.

Want an SUV for off-roading?

The Scorpio-N is based on the ladder-frame chassis, which automatically makes it a champion in the off-roading sections. The SUV also offers a much more capable AWD system compared to the XUV700, which is only good for light off-roading. With the 4XPLOR system, the Scorpio-N gets a low-ratio transfer case. There are four off-roading modes – Normal, Grass/Gravel/ Snow, Mud/Rut, and Sand. The Scorpio-N also gets MLD and BLD differentials and the suspension is tuned for better off-roading performance.

A tech-savvy SUV

The XUV700 is full of high-end features. There are dual screens on the dashboard, and features like Level-2 Autonomous Driver Assistance System (ADAS). The cabin of the XUV700 also feels much more futuristic and modern compared to the Scorpio-N. The XUV700 gets dual 10.25-inch infotainment while the Scorpio-N offers a 7.0-inch infotainment system. The XUV700 gets a fully-digital instrument cluster while the Scorpio-N gets a hybrid analogue and digital instrument cluster.

Want a longer feature list

The XUV700 gets a longer feature list than the Scorpio-N. These extra features include a panoramic sunroof, memory seats for the driver, an electronic parking brake, a 360-degree camera and ADAS.

Want a highway car

Mahindra XUV700 is based on a monocoque chassis while the Scorpio-N is based on the ladder frame. Monocoque chassis is much better when it comes to highway cruising and high-speed handling. It is also lighter than the Scorpio-N. So if you are going to spend most of your time on the highways, the XUV700 is a much better choice.

Want a performance SUV

Since the XUV700 is based on the monocoque, it is lighter in weight. Even though both the vehicles get the similar engine and transmission options, the XUV700 can sure accelerate and attain higher speeds much better than the Scorpio-N. While there will not be a massive difference, the XUV700 feels much better to drive and handle on the highways.

Want road presence

If you want an outright road presence, the Mahindra Scorpio-N wins here. The XUV700 is not a small SUV by any means but the all-new Scorpio-N is about 27mm wider and 102mm taller than the XUV700. The XUV700 is slightly longer than the Scorpio-N but it is the width and the height of the Scorpio-N that makes it stand out in the crowd.

2016 MAHINDRA BOLERO POWER+ ROAD TEST REVIEW

Image
The Bolero Power+ is Mahindra's idea of a more powerful and slightly smaller option to its wildly popular utility vehicle. We put the vehicle to test in jam packed Mumbai a day before Dussehra and also in the semi-urban areas around Mumbai where the roads demand a rugged vehicle like this. Engine This is the real star of the package. The 3-cylinder motor from the TUV300 is a gem, and I have always enjoyed the oodles of torque available right from the word go. In the new Mahindra Bolero Power+, however, the engine has been detuned to make 11PS less. But, let me assure you, the engine feels anything but underpowered. From 0-80kmph, she pulls effortlessly. That's nothing special, but try doing 18km/h in third gear in any other manual car and you'll either stall the engine or cause considerable grumble and judder. No such issues with this engine. In the same vein, the engine refinement is impressive for a UV. The amount of sound-deadening material used under the h
