New Mahindra Scorpio 2025 – Powerful SUV now number one in mileage too, price in middle class budget
When it comes to a powerful and rugged SUV in India, the first name that comes to the tongue is – Mahindra Scorpio. For the last 20 years, this SUV has remained the first choice of people from village to city. The reason is clear – its muscular look, strong engine, and such road presence that makes it special even in traffic.
But in 2025, Mahindra has prepared it not only for style and power, but also for excellent mileage. And the best thing – its price is still in the budget of a middle-class family.
Old heart, new mind
The DNA of Scorpio is the same – powerful body, high ground clearance, and royal feel on the road. But this time such changes have been made in it which make it even smarter according to the needs of today.
- Chrome finish front grille – more premium than before
- LED projector headlamps – with C-shaped DRLs
- Newly designed alloy wheels – give a sporty touch to the SUV
- Sleek taillamps – make the rear look modern
- Inside – Dual tone interior, leatherette seats and a well-designed dashboard
There is good headroom and legroom for occupants in all three rows, making family trips even more comfortable.
Engine – Balance of power and mileage
The new model has two engine options:
- 2.2L mHawk diesel – which gives mileage of up to 20 km/l (ARAI certified)
- 2.0L turbo petrol – for smooth and refined driving
Both have the option of 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox. The low-end torque in the diesel variant is so good that it drives easily in both city traffic and highways.
Ride Quality – Confidence on every road
The Scorpio has always been tuned for Indian roads, and the 2025 model is no exception.
- The suspension has been further improved, reducing shocks over potholes and bad roads.
- The steering is light in the city and stable on the highway.

Mileage – The biggest plus point for the middle class

Considering the size and power of the SUV, this mileage is really great. For those who travel long distances in a month, it will make a big difference in fuel savings.
Price – Variants to suit every pocket
- Base variant – ₹13.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
