The Scorpio Classic sticks to the basics – old-school, tough, and reliable. It’s got a 2.2L diesel under the hood and a 6-speed manual, made more for muscle than for showing off. Interiors are basic yet roomy, with just the essentials covered. No sunroof or fancy tech, but solid ground clearance and foldable rear seats add utility.
The Scorpio Classic engine specifications lean towards old-school muscle. It runs a 2.2L mHawk diesel that feels tough and predictable. There's no automatic here, just a 6-speed manual that suits the Scorpio's character. No-nonsense. It’s not trying to be flashy, and honestly, it works best when you don’t rush it.
If you're careful with the throttle, expect anywhere around 13 to 14 kmpl. Push it hard or load it up, and that’ll drop a bit. It’s not a quick mover, but once you're rolling, the drive settles in nicely. On the highway, the Scorpio still holds its head high, a bit noisy, maybe, but never feels out of breath.
Step inside and you’ll see the Scorpio Classic interior keeps things basic. There’s decent headroom, supportive front seats, and the visibility is commanding. Rear passengers won’t complain much, unless they’re stuck in the side-facing jump seats, not the most relaxing spot. Materials are durable, though not what you'd call premium.
It keeps safety simple: dual front airbags, ABS, and rear parking sensors come standard. No ESC or advanced stuff, but the body feels strong, and there's this reassuring weight when you shut the doors. That old-school, solid-built feel? Yeah, it's still there.
The SUV measures about 4456 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and stands tall at 1995 mm. Ground clearance? A healthy 209 mm. Now the Scorpio Classic boot space is only 113 litres with all rows in place, but fold or remove the third row and you free up useful room, enough for weekend bags or a couple of suitcases.
In terms of equipment, the Scorpio Classic features list covers what matters most to its core buyers: cruise control, powered mirrors, and a basic infotainment unit. Don’t expect wireless Android Auto or a Scorpio Classic sunroof here; Mahindra’s kept it focused, and maybe that’s the point.

You’ll usually see around 13 to 14 kmpl in traffic-heavy areas. On open highways, if you’re light on the pedal, it can go up to 16 kmpl. Of course, how you drive plays a big role.
The standard safety kit includes dual front airbags, ABS, rear sensors, and seatbelt alerts. There’s no electronic stability control or advanced assists like lane warning, it sticks to the basics.
It’s got around 209 mm of clearance, which is more than enough for rough roads, speed breakers, or those unpaved rural stretches. You won’t scrape the belly unless you're seriously off-roading.
You’ll find it in shades like Napoli Black, Pearl White, Galaxy Grey, Dsat Silver, and sometimes Red Rage. The darker tones give it a bold, rugged look, especially with chrome bits.
If you're fine handling a slightly bulky SUV and a bit of weighty steering in traffic, it holds up well. It feels planted, tackles potholes without fuss, and is dependable for regular use.
Depending on the version, it can seat 7 or even 9 passengers. Some models come with side-facing third-row seats, while others have front-facing ones, so comfort varies a bit.
It’s roughly 4456 mm long, 1820 mm wide, and stands at 1995 mm in height. The wheelbase sits around 2680 mm, which helps give it that planted SUV stance.
The current version is only offered with rear-wheel drive (RWD). Earlier Scorpio variants had 4WD, but the Classic doesn’t come with that option anymore.
