@@avinashbalkissur5232my bolero runned more than 6,00,000 kms in uttrakhand region of india as a taxi and no major problem. Even we sold it for 2,00,000 😄😄
I have an s6 Karoo double cab 4x4. Best vehicle I've ever owned except possibly my Landrover 110 County td5 and that is stil questionable. Ruggedly built, unquestionably reliable ( 130000km's in 28 months in mining, agricultural and Bush trails and horribly potholes or corrugated roads) with no issues whatsoever. I would buy another with no qualms. Highly underrated vehicles. I want one of these with a sore heart.
I was reluctant to purchase my Karoo S 6 at first. Now one year later and 60,000km on the clock, I love it. We have a farm in the Khomas Hochland in Namibia. The final road distance of 26 km takes 2 hours in 4 wheel drive over very rough terrain. Never a problem. On the open road I consistently get 12km per lit at 120. Most underrated 4 wheèl drive vehicle on the market.
Most deliberate informative and detailed review. Without any pomp and show.. To the point.. covering all aspects necessary. Attention to the details , language and grammar are all remarkable. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL. REGARDS
Thanks from Australia for the review, Andre. I appreciated the comment about being adequately powered. Some reviewers in Australia have got a bit breathless about the power and torque numbers relative to comparative vehicles in the class.
Nice review Andre - thank you! I own an old Nissan Patrol (petrol) and this may very well be it's next replacement. It's well priced, capable, and will certainly be a consideration! 👍😉
Bro it's a good car but you won't be satisfied with its off road capabilities compared to patrol,yes it has got all stuff like a proper off roader but there are some limitations purely based on its build 😅
@@arjunakurup02 thanks for your feedback! I agree with your sentiments but as I get older, my off-roading demands are getting less "hectic" than before, so this may well be an affordable option for me (albeit it a less capable one). Nevertheless, I appreciate your comments, thank you! 👍😉
Mahindras they are very good and available in Australia the big question how can Mahindra build such high quality and reliable vehicles at such an affordable price this Scorpio is aud $46000 in Australia cheaper and better than its competition lndian built vehicles can't beat them l count India along with certain Japanese brands as the best reliable vehicles available in the world
This is a common occurrence with brands that are still building their reputation. Over time, more and more people will be buying and owning these cars and then the company will be able to charge Toyota money for their vehicle. For now, the people that are discovering this brand are blessed to be buying these cars at such an affordable price.
@@theemotionalremix As you gathered l do like the Mahindras l will never buy one because l have no use for there vehicles although limited but if buyers do there research and find out how good they will buy them also lndian built vehicles are excellent we own a Suzuki Baleno made in lndia
@@theemotionalremix l don't think they will go up in price that much because they are maid in lndia because when the Suzuki Baleno was available in Australia the GL was the cheapest car in Australia we own one bought it second hand for aud $15750 7 years old with 70000 kilometres on it a good quality car new for under aud$20000 and that would be drive away look at now what the cheapest cars available now both crappy cars the awful MG3 and the small crappy Kia
This was certainly the best review of the vehicle , saw none like it by a million desi reviewers ; This is how it is done showing drive mode , 4L/4H/ Tyre pressure , water wading v good
Dankie, baie goeie review vd off road capabilities. Ek is n N eienaar en is bly dat hy off road net so goed lyk as onroad. En komende van Andre, beslis n baie goeie koop gewees. Brandstof ekonomie ook goed, beter as Prado D2,8.
Hello Andre, from India here, can you perhaps manage to get some Hindi subtitles on this video, so I can watch this video with my dad? Yes it is a very famous car in India, we own one actually but there aren't many off road courses like this (in India) and not many videos too, appreciate it ❤
He is Afrikaans speaking guy so he will need to pay someone to translate it for him. With probably a huge personal cost that cannot be justified really. Why not do it yourself since you must be conversant in both languages? Just a suggestion. 👍
Hi All, I bought a Scorpio-N 4xplor in September - the vin indicates made in January 2023. It has a loose steering issue which Mahindra SA is busy investigating. I spoke to another person with the same problem and their Scorpio-N was also made in January 2023. Are there any members here who have a similar issue and their vin number starts with MA1TK4YTTP6A With the 10th letter P indicating the year 2023 and the 12th letter A the month. It is a feeling of a loose component on the steering while traveling at low speeds over rough terrain. Could you please comment if you have a vehicle with the same problem and vin?
The reason for low ground clearance is unfortunately.....bureaucratic (indian bureaucracy to be specific). It is due to whats know as GST or the 'Goods and Services Tax' levied on small utility vehicles in India, which dictates that vehicles of this category whose engine capacity exceeds 1500cc, measuring over 40cm in length(?) And having a ground clearance over 170mm is not considered an SUV and attracts a base 22% tax (climbing to 28% as the ground clearance goes up). On paper, the Scorpion N has a 187mm clearance, with the aussie version measuring at 230mm.
@@TonyMandez-mo2ut They shouldn't make their problems mine. There are many ways to skin a cat. For tax reasons, European carmakers extracted much more power per cc than American ones; volume limitations just led to better application of physics and engineering. Are the smart Indians not savvy enough to get in through the back door, a window or the roof? Good for them if they lack the knack. Don't expect me to send my pet Dollar to them, so as to scrape a N belly on the silky soft Richtersveld rocks. Something's gotta give - but how did the Ozzies get it to 230mm? Video, please.
I have been extremely disappointed with my purchase. Every time I drive it I feel the "loose" steering. Just read up on the steering issue wit the 4Explor. There is an issue with the electric steering - making the steering feel loose when driving in the city.
10+ cars in South Africa have now reported the same issues on the 4x4forums and Facebook groups. My car is still not fixed. They tried today and gave me back an off-center steering wheel to go with the loose feeling. My advice is to stear clear.
What are the chances of me buying a Mahindra Scorpio-N 2023 Z8 with a defective steering rack, taking it back to the service center 16 times, replacing it with a 2024 Z8L, and finding out it also has a defective steering rack? Well in my case 100%
Unfortunately auto majors offers lighter n inferior products in India. I am sure Mahindra don't have any plan to launch this good product in india...I am sure it will sell like hot cakes in Panjab. But ...
it's a soft vehicle, every Scorpio N sold in India has electronics and other problems, infotainment system shutdown any time and switches on on its own, people will definitely hear rattle noise from this suv after 100000 km if they drive Little bit of off-road
@@Ruderajput What are you talking about? They have a service contract with Mahindra! Compared to their 79 series Toyota Landcruisers, these things are always breaking down. Less electronics and sensors is always better.
@@sugarnads One online reviewer the noise was coming in at higher speeds 60 to 100 gear changes and throttle feathering on off excellerator. Higher speeds on Asphalt not dirt.
Prop shaft vibration. Similar to what was found on some reviews of the new Ford Ranger. On both vehicles they are recalled or fixed/replaced on next service. Mine was replaced as I bought the vehicle and it is running smoothly. Vehicle runs good and is great fun, but remember to switch of the auto stop/start as it can leave you standing dead still at a traffic light, which is annoying. Hope they have a software update on that soon
