There is a huge difference between both. The Scorpio is not really a hybrid but it has the facility of idling on battery which leads to increase in fuel efficiency by 1kmpl.

Civic , volt and prius have actual hybrid versions and not just having a sticker at their body shell to fool customers. As far as cost is concerned it always proves costly for a company like GM, Toyota, Honda who are the leaders to spend on R&D and proginal designs and patents while for a jeep manufacturer like mahindra it costs cheap to just steal the design and copy it. But it requires wise mind to copy too. So they have just pasted the decal of micro hybrid but in actual its not even a nano hybrid. Fas please first check what does hybrid means actually.

Do you know actually what is a hybrid technology? Don't say again that the volt, prius and civic are damn costly it would have been scorpio jeep that is the cheapest HYBRID . Actually this jeep has a idle start stop function that is indeed meant for fuel saving but it originated from the two wheelers manufacured by Honda. It is real worth only if the driver has the tendency of stopping idle for more than two minutes because even if the engine stops after that and you have to restart after two and a half minute then again it will cause more fuel consumption to start a diesel engine again and the gains would be nulified. Aso it is a stress on the starting system and it decreases their overall life. It is actually meant for commercial vehicles which are subjected to idling more. Peoples are still unaware of these technologies and these cheap manufacurers are making money by fooling them .Just being the sponser of an event and a leader in field matters a lot of difference. Mahindra is known to copy the outdated technology which other MNCs have been using for ages. Its just a matter of chance that they are able to copy a technology which is not important for use in jeeps in India but they have proven to brought it first. Actually it was already a part of Honda civic and they never befooled customers by calling it hybrid as it is termed as idle start stop. For hybrid they have the other variant. Car manufacturers like GM, HONDA, TOYOTA are renowned for their ethics, technology and reliablity . So please don't compare this jeep with their product atleast.

It gives a saving of 1 kmpl which is really good for a SUV like scorpio. If it works like this for all cars, imgine how much fuel savings can be made.

There are 18 new features at Rs.70000 lesser than before. What a steal this SUV is in India. Now the Mahindra Scorpio pick is also being sold in US. Way to go Mahindra. Scorpio is truly international. http://www.mahindrascorpio.com/scorpio_refresh/whatsnew.html As far as New 2009 Mighty Muscular Scorpio is concerned, Micro Hybrid Technology is not the only new feature.

Let's give them a chance to prove how nice and reliable this car is.
