    New and improved?

    It’s taken M&M a bit of time, but the Indian utility vehicle maker finally seems to have got its Scorpio right. Well, almost. Yes, an all-new body shell would have been nice, a slicker gearbox would have gone down well, and the new car is still heavy at 1820kg. Still, it has improved in almost all areas, and that elevates this SUV to an all-new level. Better to look at, better to sit in and much nicer to drive, the new Scorpio, has what it takes to remain the huge success it’s been, especially now that it's been priced almost the same as the outgoing model - from Rs 7.98-11.46 lakh.
