Anti-Review: Mahindra PikUp 2.2CRDe D/C S11 Karoo 

We did not know that, thank you for the insight!

@@GalimotoMedia Jk tyres, MRF, CEAT, BKT are all big tyre brands india based

Do you think south african people will take your advice seriously or on the contrary degrade the mentioned brand. Let it be what it is by itself don't be a spoilsport

@@mercedesbenz3751 I meet you again..

@@mercedesbenz3751 Mercedes with a bmw logo 😆 😂

That's brilliant, many thanks for your comment and happy Mahindra motoring! 😊

Thanks for that insight, we've put our name down for a test-drive of the Scorpio "Adventure" model here in southern Africa. The Pik-Up / truck is becoming quite popular here, they've just launched three more (cosmetic) models: Dusk, Dawn and Storm.

Agreed. Thanks for your comment!

Great stuff! 👍

Thanks for watching!

They don't sell this in India

Thanks, love your profile name and pic! 😁

@@Nightster79 they used to sell it in India, but stopped sales since no one bought it.

@@ravikakhandki7594 i think it was the whole yellow board & kakhi shirts 😂

@@Nightster79 they sell scorpio car not pickup in India

Thank you kindly!

Agree. And remeber a Landcruiser 70 is also very boxy and the ride is just as worse or as good. And its reliable. And the power seems to be enough, its not slower than a 70 series landcruiser. Check the V8’s figures, very slow, also around the 15 sec.

Fair comments, thanks!

Indeed. Thanks for your comment! 👍

Its SUV model Scorpio was one of the highest selling in India (2011-18)with excellent pricing

Hi there , we own a 2014 mhawk model , and still running strong... Max torque at 1.6k rpm , extremely reliable engine , only problem is after a while the 4wd and low range don't always engage properly ... But even in rwd it is still very capable , unless you take it to the hardest offroad courses , but we have been dragging 1 ton logs without a hiccup and god knows how we still use the same clutch... Comes with cruise control too , but loud wind noise on the highway though ... But yes , definitely worth it , basically an affordable land cruiser Im from south africa which is almost the same environment as Australia , so if it does great here it would probably do great there as well

Wow, many thanks for your detailed comment and happy travels with your fleet of Mahindras!

Wow, thanks for your kind comment! 👍

@@GalimotoMedia no thank you for your excellent review. It covers both pro’s and con’s as neutral as can be. I simply adore the commentary for its what got my attention initially. Topnotch 💪

My friend, Scorpio in India and karoo for you folks is built to suit Indian conditions and it's been informed the top sellers for last 2 decades here in India and we are very very difficult market. This vehicle will last you your life if maintained properly. Here bolero is the first choice for urban India which is a class lower to karoo. You cannot go wrong with Mahindra. The only issue is comparison with Toyota. Here in India you won't belive Hilux has been launched last month for first time and is thrice the cost. It's gonna be a failure for sure. Now you can understand the market we have india where the best of the products will fail and this Mahindra been the choice since last 2 decades. I am sure Mahindra will replace Toyota's in the later or will definitely be a Challenger

We only recently learned that, thank you! 👍

Glad to help! 😊

m-Hawk is one of most reliable engine in India , their are many with 4 lakh + km.

Kisine poocha ?

@@shubhamsonawane3432 no

Thanks, we appreciate your comment!

Belated thanks for your helpful comment! 👍

Thanks a lot 😊

Fair comment, and move the USB slot further away from said cup holders!

We agree!

Thanks 🔥

Indeed they do, hope you get more dealers soon!

Thank you!

As it should be!

Already very very cheap in price than ford I guess ..very economical to drive as well

We've since learnt that, thank you. They are relatively unknown here in southern Africa!

Many thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Many thanks! 👍

Thanks for watching!

We agree! 👍

Thank you 👍

Hope you enjoyed it!

Wow, many thanks for that insightful comment!

I can't say that's not true but you're lying.i have Mahindra pikup s6 single cab 2018, Scorpio pikup 2016 single cab and s11 Karoo double cab automatic 2020,over those kilometres.no rust,no engine oil leaks,no brake down.mahindra are hidras,beats. If you have a good hand on cars, Mahindra can reach 1300000 without major breakdowns.

Many thanks for your comment, we'll certainly review the new Thar if it comes to South Africa!

Thar will not be launched in other countries because of the copy right issue by jeep.

@@robbin218 matter is just in USA in other countries. No copyright violations in other countries only in USA they can't offer Vertical Standing bars design

Wow, thanks for that insight! 👍

Good to hear that!

Advertise ur brand level to all of South Africa and the world so that they have low opinion on Mahindra

Thank you!!

Glad to hear it and (belated) congratulations!

We're looking forward to testing the new Mahindras!

Many thanks! 😊

New gen. scorpioN launch in india...it's the big daddy of SUV's....🤩

Indeed it is!

S11 not available here unless your S11 is our S10?

Indeed, S11 is automatic. Hope they bring it to NZ soon!

We loved it! 💪

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your comment!

We hope so too!

@@GalimotoMedia and the Scorpio - N It's much better now hope you get it soon

Thanks for your comment and these insights! 👍

We have since learnt this from our valued Indian subscribers, thanks for your insight and many happy miles! 😊

Or California looks like South Africa? 😁

Perhaps, but we hope that their products remain relatively simple because we don't need the 900 millionth "premium brand"!

@@GalimotoMedia 😂😂.

Excellent, many thanks for that insight!

Bro......the outside world doesn't know what a 'lakh' is.......plz, tell them seperately its a 100,000 whenever you mention 'lakh' in any online comments so that they can have an idea/estimate about the size of numbers/figures you are talking about......👍👍👍

On the tar roads, we found it softer than most other double cab bakkies.

We agree!

Best check with your local dealership?

Fair enough, thank you for your comment!

It's Mahindra , that is biggest Tractor manufacturer in whole world. And their m-Hawk engine is reliable work horse

At the moment, R455 000. Nope, no F150 available here in southern Africa!

Comparatively speaking, perhaps. Glad you love it, it's a great vehicle!

Indeed it was!

We look forward to reviewing them!

One of our staff members is also saving up for a Karoo! If you read some of the comments below, you'll see that JK Tyres are very popular (and respected) in India.

Karoo is special South African edition

It was available as Mahindra Getaway in india, don't know the current situation. I'm n UAE and have seen these and TATA pikups too.

Check you available in india

It was only used by government personel and policemen, public didn't actually like the idea of a pickup truck that can be used for office commutes, having a loading bed in the rear meant you're a commercial truck driver like it hurts the reputation of a corporate employee, so many didn't buy the scorpio getaway aka the Mahindra karoo in 🇮🇳, but now times are changing, people going crazy over Isuzu and hiluxes

Well spotted! 😊

Excellent, looking forward to driving it!

@@GalimotoMedia mahendera scorpio N , launch, XUV 700 launch

@@AmanDixit1994 I saw a video about the "Big Daddy" Scorpio N. Looks very very nice. Only available here in NZ from July 2023

Sorry to hear that!
