Mahindra & Mahindra coming up with Scorpio EX

Mahindra & Mahindra has launched an entry level version of its flagship model Scorpio which is called Scorpio EX. The new model offers a mileage of 14kmpl mileage (as per ARAI) and is powered by a 75bhp m2DiCR engine.  The new model is priced at Rs.7.21 lakhs (ex-showroom Pune, for BSIV).

The new 2.5 litre m2DiCR engine has 220NM torque with 75bhp power and is a product of proficient engineering.  It comes with fuel-saving Micro Hybrid technology due to which it intelligently switches the engine into the standby mode, whenever it is not required – making certain lower fuel consumption while being more environment-friendly too. The Scorpio Ex emits lower emissions as it is compliant with stringent BSIV emission norms, leading to a reduced carbon footprint.

Supplementary features include crash protection crumple zones in order to protect passengers in the untoward event of a collision and the digital immobilizer that protects the vehicle from any kind of theft. In addition, effortless acceleration allows the vehicle to go from 0 to 60 kmph in hardly 11.2 seconds. The Scorpio Ex is accessible in four attractive colours namely Rocky Beige, Fiery Black, Diamond White and Mist Silver.

Mr. Vivek Nayer, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., commenting on the launch, said “At Mahindra, our endeavour has always been to present the best-in-class products and this new contribution from the Scorpio stable is no exception. With its refined performance, easy drivability and great mileage, I am sure that the Scorpio Ex will be an immediate hit with young consumers who are looking for an reasonable entry point into the Scorpio franchise. An absolute success in the SUV segment since its launch, the Scorpio has kept up its impetus with constant up-gradations and new offerings.”
