- People like the way they look. The silhouette of the Scorpio is synonymous with an SUV and has stayed true to its boxy design since its inception.
- Mahindra Scorpio has been one of the most affordable and practical off-roaders in India with a serviceable cabin and robust 4×4 system.
Shortcoming

Side-facing bench seats have been given in the lower variant of the Mahindra Scorpio.
- The cabin of the Mahindra Scorpio is not that spacious and even the seats are not the most comfortable we have seen in this segment.
- The lower variants of Mahindra Scorpio are offered with side-facing bench seats in the third row which are not comfortable and compromise on the safety aspect as well.
