    With the older body shell carried over, the Scorpio at first seems more like a facelift than an all-new model. However, it is amply clear that the improvements run wide and deep to make it better in every respect. The styling is much sharper, the feature-packed cabin feels several generations superior and, crucially, the Scorpio is much nicer to drive.
    No doubt it still has its flaws; the cabin ergonomics are far from perfect and the tall and narrow dimensions ultimately limit the improvements to ride and handling. But conversely, its the boxy proportions that give the Scorpio its special character. The high seating position, great visibility and strong engine give you a sense of control, which is a big part of the Scorpio's appeal. And when you factor in its price tag, which is more attractive than any other SUV in its class, the legendary Mahindra is even harder to overlook.
