Mahindra Scorpio N comes with a powerful petrol engine but people are curious about the real-world mileage of the SUV.
This is one of the first mileage tests of the Mahindra Scorpio N in the petrol AT variant. Mahindra’s mStallion turbo petrol engines boast the distinction of being the most powerful in the segment. However, the owners and experts raise concerns about the fuel economy taking a hit, as a result. In this video, the YouTuber does a mileage test using the tank-to-tank or brim-to-brim method in real-world conditions.

Mahindra Scorpio N Petrol AT Mileage Test
The YouTuber gets the tank filled up to the brim and commences his journey. As visible in the video, the weather conditions are rainy and the surface is wet. Additionally, the traffic is moderate as the YouTuber drives the SUV through a combination of highway and city traffic. Since this test is taking place near the Chakan Plant of Mahindra in Pune, the topography is a bit hilly with twisty roads. Hence, the conditions are great to test the mileage of the Scorpio in challenging environments. In total, the driver covered a distance of 89.9 km before refuelling.

At the fuel station, he makes sure that the fuel is filled up to the brim yet again to maintain consistency in the results. He was able to fill 10.36 litres until the tank was brimming. After performing elementary mathematic calculations, the mileage came out to be 8.6 km/l. Now, while this might not seem too impressive, the YouTuber mentions that he had to stop quite a bit for filming. In the real world, one could achieve around 10-11 km/l with this engine. This is a point of contention for a whole lot of buyers which is why we might see a high demand for the diesel variants.
