Oh boy...
We've spent 3 months with our long-term Mahindra Scorpio (aka Scorpio-N) and it's been a wild ride. Up until ANCAP, Australia's safety body, gave the Scorpio a 0-Star ANCAP safety rating, we were chuffed with the Scorpio. But now, we're just... confused. You see it also scored a 5-star safety rating in the Global NCAP testing program. So is the Mahindra Scorpio unsafe? Is it a bad buy? Well, not everything is as it seems here. Let's talk about that and our long-term review impressions for today's cheap 4x4 review!

What can be done with the massive and intrusive mounting points for the 3rd row seats? They're a real problem for me! The poor storage such as a single cupholder and central bin would require a rethink of the cabin The zero ANCAP safety rating is a bad joke, especially for such a strong, well-engineered vehicle! The distractions and unreliability of all the mandatory electronic gizmos may well be contributing to the road toll, especially if drivers start relying on them! Meanwhile, the Mahindra Pikup is selling new in 2024 without any side bags but scores 3 from ANCAP! Maybe farmer's lives don't matter? So many commercial vehicles were allowed to be sold in Australia with only a driver's airbag and no side or head bags.

@@johnpostle502 ridiculous. Fortunately jn S Africa we dont have all the regulations and many people rightly so or not is switching off the so called safety things like lane change etc. Maybe its not as safe as the ANCAP people think. And I believe that safety systems that can be switched off because it is no proven safety factor, compared to ABS and airbags who cant be switched off as this is a real built in safety aspects. So how can they rate a car on safety if the systems can be used at will, then it isnt a safety factor…….. they havent made it compulsory. The boot isnt flat yes, its however not a problem to me as I normally have quite a load and the flatness of the boot is not playing a role for me.

@@debasisghadai3633 So what? ANCAP already just copies and pastes Euro NCAP data for cars that they can't test themselves, they may as well use it and other crash testing NCAPS, instead of sucking up $16 million dollars of taxpayers money over the next 5 years. The average cost per test is $780,000, which is paid by the manufacturer who, naturally, passes that cost on to the consumer.

ANCAP ratings would help set guidelines for almost all manufacturers to ensure their car passes them on almost majority of the parameters this would be taken care of specially when you are trying to make inroads in a country/market. I understand the rationale behind changing goal posts(somewhat necessary as well) but what I am surprised about is the lack of communication between the manufacturer and the agency. Also mapping a car zero stars because it faults on a set of parameters requires a deeper analysis and further study. My personal understanding of the situation is that for a car to score a zero stars is because the car is absolutely a safety hazard which isnt the case here and hence ANCAP ratings are biased towards few manufacturers.

@@rahulpatti1288 We took that into account. The primary concern arises when we need to utilize our car for transporting items, and even the second row poses challenges. The manufacturer has fallen short in the realm of interior ergonomics. Despite its overall brilliance, the interior is a notable drawback. The design near the driver's front row is excellent, but having just one cupholder seems like an oversight. If they had reworked the interior, including the seat setup and folding mechanism, this car could have enjoyed greater sales success.

If further modernized, this may potentially rival the XUV 700. When the Scorpio was initially introduced in India in 2002, it stood as Mahindra's premier SUV offering. However, with the advent of the XUV 500 (previous generation of XUV 700), it carved its own niche in the market. Unless Mahindra can establish a clearer distinction between the two, they might prefer maintaining the current positioning.

Matt. I'm 51 years old and have been licenced since just after my 18th birthday. We put too much reliance on safety tech and take away the responsibility we have as drivers. My first car was a 1970 HT kingswood, all wheel drum brakes and 3 on the tree manual. I'm still alive. I care more about crash tests than I do about what safety tech a car has. Recently the road toll is increasing, yet cars have more tech. People have forgotten how to actually drive a car.
