Confused Between Mahindra Scorpio S10 vs XUV500 W6 vs Renault Duster 110PS
- Thread Starter ani21
- Start date
Go for the Scorpio S10.New Car + Top-end Model (More Safety Feautures,Re-sale Value) + Mahindra's Better A.S.S Network than Renault + Much Better Up-market Looks than the Duster + AWD !
XUV should be the choice. Has the most features and adequate safety as well. Much better ride and handling than the Scorpio.
Duster has an edge in ride, but XUV scores in performance and the feel good factor.
New car? XUV is an all new car when compared to the facelifted Scorpio.
More Safety features? XUV W6 is safer than the Scorpio S10. Dont forget that the XUV has a 4* crash test rating.
Finally, Scorpio is not AWD, it is a 4x4 (if a 4x4 is purchased but obviously).

Hi ani,
Welcome to TAI
Also the choices you provided does bring you an easy answer
1. Mahindra Scorpio S10
If you Love an Old-School Suv, Ladded on Frame chasis,
with Rugged and Butch looks.
If you want to Ride King Size and Self-driven.
It can Easily seat 5 persons comfortably and Gulp a Huge amount of Luggage.
Ride quality and Handling has Vastly improved in the new version, check my Ownership review
http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/f...s10-white-introducing-beastly-pegasus-jr.html
for details and my remarks.
Potholes! Just Bring it On! etc and many more.
Actually I had sold my 2yrs Old Scorpio for Upgrading to an XUV,
But after taking 3 Test Drives in different conditions from 3 showrooms
this vehicle just could not win my heart.
2. XUV500
If you are a Sedan guy, used to certain level of Luxuries,
Prefer a Planted Ride,with a Lower Center of Gravity and a Monocoque chassis.
Bells and Whistles and Features Up to the Brim.
Chauffeur driven.
Extra Bhp coupled by a 6th gear.
Also Leave the Ground Clearance on Paper, Just go to the Showroom,
Bend Down and check both cars on your Own, Scorpio Has got the Better GC than XUV.
Also if the Boot Space is not much of an Issue.
Also please refer to the Huge Threads on Xuv500 Niggles,
and very Sad to say still XUV has a lot of Issues yet to be corrected, the Top of the List being the Brake.
Just drove an XUV W8 of my friend bought just on Dhanteras,
Sorry to say it was Just Scary!, not Confidence Inspiring at all.
Because Stopping such a Huge Car with Momentum requires that Bite
while braking, that wasn't there.
Also one more point is that the Safety rating of XUV is tested on W8,
Which has curtain Airbags and you will Not be getting those in W6.
and finally
Coming to Duster cant comment anything much because Firstly that looks quite tiny compared to the other Beasts, and secondly was Not in My List.
These are My Personal Opinion after about 2 months of Rigorous research because I was also Stuck Between Choosing the
"Sleek Cheetah" (CAR) or the "Mighty Scorpio" (SUV)![[evil]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Evil.gif "Evil [evil]")

I am new to TAi , very much confused about new age Xuv w6 or Scorpio S10 ?
Please help me out !
^^If it has to be an XUV then it has to be a W8 variant. W6 etc all are not that VFM or feature loaded either.
Hence in XUV W6 vs Scorpio S10 debate, my vote clearly goes for the Scorpio. It rides better, it has got more rugged mechanicals, a host of features and above everything that in itself is worth over the XUV is that the Scorpy is a proper rear wheel drive

@monty I suggest you the scorpio s10 over XUV if you want to conquer the bad roads. The XUV is a better soft roader and handler compared to scorpio. But overall scorpio s10 is the VFM compared t XUV w6
