The Scorpio N has a more rugged, ladder frame underpinning, while the XUV700 is based on a monocoque platform.
Which SUV is better between the Mahindra XUV700 and Scorpio N?
Raja, Chennai
Autocar India says: Both cars are quite different although they share the same engines. If you are planning to drive consistently on bad roads, the Scorpio – due to its body-on-frame chassis – is better as it can take quite a beating. Also, the Scorpio’s high seating position is a big plus.
But on the flip side, getting in and out of the Scorpio requires quite a step, and hence, elderly people might find this inconvenient. Other than these attributes of the Scorpio, the XUV700 is better in every way. It is more sophisticated, more refined, has better ride and handling, a more spacious interior, a better third row and luggage space and better equipment.
