“The Scorpio is the first choice for families looking for a large SUV with proven off-road credentials and trusted durability,” says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.
“Rounding off the special package is a set of all-terrain tyres fitted to hardened off-road alloy wheels. The tyres are upgraded from the 235/65R17 road-biased rubber of the standard model to 245/65R17 all-terrain tyres on the Adventure.
The tyres are fitted to silk-black 17-inch alloy wheels that are hardened and machine-edged.
Under the hood of the S11 is the more powerful version of Mahindra’s popular 2.2 litre mHawk turbodiesel delivering 103kW and 320Nm.
This power is delivered to all four wheels through a new six-speed manual gearbox, and the driver has the ability to shift-on-the fly between 4H and 2H at speeds of up to 100km/h.
There is electronic climate control, power steering, cruise control, a voice-command system and electric windows all round, a new 7-inch infotainment system incorporating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and it features a USB and Bluetooth phone interface.
The new screen also displays the high-resolution images of the in-built reverse camera.
All Mahindra Scorpio S11 Adventure models offer 195mm of suspension travel and 165mm of ground clearance.
The new model is available at dealers across Southern Africa at a starting price of R416 999.
All models are sold with a 5-year / 90 000km service plan and 4-year / 120 000km comprehensive mechanical warranty.
