Mahindra has officially launched the new-gen Scorpio with the Intelli-Hybrid technology in India. The top-end Scorpio two-wheel drive S10 variant in manual transmission is priced at Rs 12.84 lakh (Ex-showroom, Navi Mumbai). The Intelli-Hybrid technology is offered in the following variants of Scorpio which are powered by a 2.2 Litre mHAWK engine: S4, S4+, S4+ 4wd, S6+, S8, S10-2WD (Manual Transmission) and S10-4WD (Manual Transmission).
The company claims that the new Scorpio is the country’s first SUV to offer mild hybrid capability. Moreover, the automaker boasts about offering voice messaging system, first in its class CRDe engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The new technology claims to have reduced fuel consumption by up to 7 per cent by assisting the engine with electric power during acceleration, automatically switching the engine off while the vehicle is stationary (start-stop) and re-using brake energy, which would otherwise be wasted, to charge the battery.
Speaking about it, Pravin Shah, President and Chief Executive (Automotive), Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, “As an organisation that places keen emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, across every process and product, we are proud to introduce mild hybrid technology on the Scorpio. By reducing fuel consumption, Intelli-Hybrid helps Scorpio owners contribute towards a cleaner and greener tomorrow.”
