An Indian family in Australia is seen ecstatic in this video while explaining why they opted for the Mahindra Scorpio N. Note that they already own the Mercedes-Benz GLA 180. Mahindra has been doing exceedingly well Down Under, particularly after launching the new-age SUVs. These include the Scorpio N and XUV700. Remember that the Scorpio Getaway was already on sale in Australia and doing well. Now, the Australian media is comparing the Scorpio N with the giants of the industry like Toyota Land Cruiser and Mitsubishi Pajero due to its value-for-money characteristics.
Mahindra Scorpio N in Australia
This video comes from Mahindra Australia on YouTube. It captures the Bal Family originally from India, now residing Down Under. They mention that they have a family of four. Since the family is growing, they need a larger vehicle within a stipulated budget. The Mercedes-Benz GLA was getting smaller for their family. Once they started scouting for large vehicles, they heard the news of Mahindra launching the Scorpio N in Australia. Being Indians, they trust Mahindra completely. Hence, once they checked out the Scorpio N in the flesh, they were sold. They believe that this was the best decision. They are happy with every aspect of the 7-seat SUV.

Our View
I must admit I feel extremely proud seeing people in Australia loving the Mahindra Scorpio N. Even though this is an Indian family which is aware of the legacy of Mahindra, it makes my chest swell with pride. Apart from that, I have also seen the Australian media and locals utterly impressed by what the Scorpio N has to offer at this price point. Its capabilities are proven since Mahindra has been making the original Scorpio in India since 2002. With the Scorpio N, the DNA remains the same and there is the addition of more modern components and amenities.
