Mahindra Scorpio Vs Toyota Innova
Mahindra Scorpio Vs Toyota Innova
We are in process of getting another vehicle for our office use. So we went to try the new Mahindra Scorpio this time. You cannot call it a car, it’s a jeep altogether. I don’t know why Mahindra is making vehicles without proper planning.
Its great that my height is 5’7†so I could fit in the car. If my height would have been 6 feets, I could not fit in the car. The legroom is so less that 6 people with good height cannot fit together. The engine is no doubt the best I have ever experienced from any vehicle of this segment, even better then our Toyota Innova G4. Pickup is superb. Breaking is so so. Gear lever us tight as jeeps, steering also not as good as Innova. Not at all a comfortable car. I can drive the Innova 1000 Km a day but I can never do that with Scorpio. Also the worst part is that the top model on road will costs more than 9 Lakhs which in not worth it. I would prefer to take another Innova V model rather.

Toyota Innova: Review by Khulla Panga
This is a personal review since I have tried all the other cars that we have listed below in this article. This article is not at all biased with any of the manufactures listed below.
Toyota Innova is really a nice car compared to other cars of the same segment, I am comparing it with
Chevrolet Tavera
TATA Safari
Mahindra Scorpio
This car is no doubt better than its competitors, first of all I don’t call it a SUV but it’s a Car, really. We own a 8 seater G4 model since we don’t find V model worth it in
Say whatever but this bulldog can’t beet the first truck of our company: The Totota Innova
Toyota planning to expand fast in India but what bout the Traffic?
I read I an news today that Toyota has plans to expand in India at a rate of 10 times what it is doing now. Well I’m happy with the Toyota Innova I have but the not at all happy with the increasing traffic in Gurgaon. What will happen if all the automobile companies will grow at this rate. There are flyover and expressways being made at the moment if I think about the traffic being 10 times by now, I will definitely reach my office in 4 hours
Just got the news that Hyundai has just loss a case against a car owner in Delhi for selling him a faulty Hyundai Accent car. The Courts has ordered the company to replace the faulty car with a new one and give the owner, an additional compensation of Rs. 12,500/-. I can never imagine that the second largest car maker in India can do a shit like that. Well, is it the fault of the Hyundai Car dealer or the company itself?
One of my friends had recently visited Hyundai showroom in Gurgaon to buy a Hyundai Accent CRDI just 15
Just visited the Toyota Showroom in Gurgaon at the IDC Gurgaon coz I was looking for some accessories for the Innova. I ‘v got the list and prices of the stuff that I was looking for :
A Rear View Mirror (chrome) : Rs. 4500/-
A pair of fog lamps : Rs. 8000/-
A Pair of footrest : Rs. 6000/-
Damn costly… I got all that from outside dealer in Rs. 5000/-. What the hell!!!
I am looking for a drivers for my Tata Safari, Toyota Innova and Hyundai Accent but could not get one in the town.
If the driver is experienced….
Then his salary expectations are as high as 10000 bucks a month which includes accommodation and food. And you don’t know when he’ll leave if he finds a better offer.
If the driver is inexperienced….
Then you have your car at risk every time, whenever the car is with the driver and you are at home, your heart beat is on a higher side.
If you get a driver from Rajasthan….
He has no idea of the ways
I got the opportunity to drive this car today while getting back from Delhi. Personally I never like American Cars (Ford, GM etc.) but still I did drive it coz I had no choice. This car I would say is a much better product than the ford IKON. The vehicle is comfortable and Engine has a better performance than Ford IKON. All the controls (as usual in American Cars) are just opposite to that of the other cars. Wipers at the right hand side and the light controls at the left hand. I had to go through the manual to
I had big plans when I passed out my Engineering, but I never got a chance in any of the companies who are pioneers in making Machines, I and many of my colleagues who were genius of mechanical Engineering waited for companies like Kirloskar, Mahindra, TATA and many others for campus selection, but they never came for an interview ….
I did my MBA in Family Managed Business from SPJIMR, Mumbai, I got a chance to work with my dad in expanding our business, but that didn’t last for long…
I researched on making high quality poultry feed from crushed animal bones
Google Server Farms in India!!
Now, Google is also eyeing towards the real estate sector in India. I read the news few days back that Google is planning to set up an SEZ (Special Economic Zone) in India. Well, when India is open for all Business big shots like Reliance, Mahindra, DLF for SEZ, then why can’t Google??
Google had already set up a “Server farm†in Taiwan and now India will be the second destination throughout Asia. They’ll have in total 7 Server Farms worldwide if the Indian “farm†is “cultivatedâ€. As far as I have read on the internet, these

I have test driven a Mahindra Scorpio ‘n’ number of times but very recently I went for Innova test drive and was totally taken in for a shock…It went to become one of my best test drives ever as the vehicle is so smooth…
September 10th, 2007 at 4:15 am
Yes……
You are right… I have tested the scorpio many a times, I am happy with the engine performance, but not with the interiors and the legspace.
Mahindra Guys should think over redesigning the vehicle for better comfort and space.
I have seen the Mahindra AXE. That vehicle is really worth seeing but they are designing the vehicle for defence use only.

I m so amazed to the read the above article. The guy doesn’t even know that there can’t be any comparrison between a horse and a donkey. Innova is totally in different segment from scorpio. how can u compare the two.One is SUV and the other one is cross of car and stationwagon. sorry to hurt u boys…but pls grow up. If u can’t appraciate scorpio u r duds. My xperience of scorpio is of 2.5lakh kms both in older and new version, and beleive me this is best vehicle in SUV category. I ve done all type of terrains from smooth roads to leh ladhak to china border to the entire himalayan range with minimum hassles and maintenance. just try on in ur Innova and feel the difference. All the best to u all.

well, the point here is… how many people are using the vehicle as roughly as you have used.
I know that scorpio has a utility for people who want to drive it on terrains, and innova is more of a luxury passanger car rather than a SUV. i am happy that you are happy about your scorpio, but innova is definately a better option for people driving in cities and need more comfort. The main drawback with scorpio is that it has a very less legroom which is a serious problem for people of older age and definately not if you are carrying kids.

you can not compair innova with scorpio. innova is just a passanger car meant for travel guys. scorpio is the best. if u have become an uncle, go for innova, and if u still a young chap, go for scorpio!!!

hey tht right tht we cqnt campare a suv n a muv . as tht the innova g comes at a price of 10.90 lacs where the new scorpion vlx fully loaded comes in tht price range thts 10.97 lacs hows tht. so the innova is much costlies in terms of price
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:26 am
innova is more like a luxury car which can carry 7 or 8 peoples .
scorpio is more like a upgrade version of jeep which lacks comfort , handling is not up to the mark . it has style & go anywhere ability which r its plus points.
i would like innova because of its comfort & its a toyota .
September 19th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
All you ppl above —– You have NOW confused me on what to buy Scorpio or Innova i was convinced with Innova but i know it looks large than a sleek Scorpio which look rough… But yes innova is definitely comfortable… Infact i am going to buy innova tommorow and read this today…. However i think i will go in for Innova … But cant say what i decide tommorow…..

I think all those who are against Scorpio should drive its VLX version and Automatic……. It’s awesome in drive ,in pick up. It has cruise control, tunnel lightening,RPAS & automatic gear as well in 11 to 12 Lacs only which is much less as compared to features provided. And those who are talking about interior styling and leg room with innova should consider one thing very clear in mind that it is design of 2002 for indian customers whose average percentile heights are 5′5” not like toyota launched in 2006 launched in global market then in india.. It is obvious that will be………..Company says it right nothing else will do
