Here is a video you must watch to see what happens when a Mahindra Scorpio crashes into a Maruti Swift from behind. Swift has been infamous for being a not-so-tough vehicle. Its safety ratings also suggest the same. Mahindra Scorpio, on the other hand, is considered to be one of the most rugged and hardcore SUVs around, even though its safety rating was also not great.

Nevertheless, this video shows the impact of Scorpio tail-ending a Swift. Here are the details.
