Editorial Test Drive Review of Mahindra Scorpio
The Scorpio has been around for a long time and has carved itself a fan-following. The car looks very imposing and intimidating. It has chrome tipped Mahindra logo at the front on the grill and huge bumper sporting the fog lamps add to the muscular profile of the car. The side profile shows off the flared wheel arches and there is a chrome step up to climb into the car and chrome tipped roof rails adorn this menacing SUV.
