But the Mahindra Scorpio N doesn’t pretend. It’s tough, old-school, and loud in its personality. The road feels different under its tyres raw, connected, alive. Both have the Mahindra DNA, both built strong. It’s just a matter of what you want comfort or control, class or courage.
So yes, there’s no real loser here. The XUV700 is for the ones who love comfort and modern features. The Scorpio N is for those who want thrill and a bit of chaos in their drive. Whichever one you choose, you’ll end up smiling behind the wheel. Because both tell the same story of Indian engineering growing up, but never forgetting its roots.
