BHPian VitoVTEC<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\nThis is my first post on the platform, and having been an avid reader for a long time, I thought it\u2019s best to put my question out to fellow enthusiasts here.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been planning to upgrade from my Mahindra Scorpio S10 2015 to a new car, because of the ten-year rule for diesel vehicles in Delhi. It\u2019s still a question, of whether we should keep it for a year and a half, and then sell it, or sell it for a better price right now.<\/p>\n
We bought a 2023 Hyundai Creta SX(O) IVT to replace my 2008 Honda City, for city driving, about six months ago.<\/p>\n
When upgrading from the Scorpio, I don\u2019t see any close competitor offering a similar RWD body-on-frame platform with a robust build and drive-it-anywhere confidence. I don\u2019t care much about the car being loaded to the gills with features, since they’re already present on the Korean. All I\u2019m looking for is a dominating road presence, decent handling, a well-performing engine, durability, and after-sales reliability. Moreover, the car will mostly be driven around by my father, and it should suit his personality, similar to the Scorpio.<\/p>\n
The next best thing, i.e. the Toyota Fortuner, comes in at about Rs. 46 lakhs on-road in Delhi for the 4×2 Diesel Automatic trim, which is slightly out of my budget for now.<\/p>\n
The itch to buy a Mahindra Thar has been coming in time and again, and I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s going to be a good idea, considering how the Scorpio has been our companion on road trips across the country. The Thar just can\u2019t help us out in that. It\u2019s never been a family car. Although, I\u2019d be willing to consider a pre-loved Thar for the right price, and get rid of the itch in about a year or two when I\u2019m ready to upgrade to the Fortuner or a suitable car.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m also toying with the idea of getting a less-driven 2018 Honda City in exchange for the Scorpio from a used car dealer. The 2008 Honda City was my first car, and I wanted to upgrade to the latest generation Honda City after it, but the 2023 pre-facelift design and low ground clearance didn\u2019t appeal to my family. Anyway, a well-maintained, less-driven 2018 Honda City (MT) should be available for a good price and will run for another ten years. The Japs have never failed us in terms of reliability and durability.<\/p>\n
The third possibility, that I\u2019m completely against, is going for the top-spec Scorpio Classic. I\u2019m not a fan of the interiors, and don\u2019t get the point of paying more for a car that looks exactly like my Scorpio, with fewer features.<\/p>\n
The last prospect is to buy a used Ford Endeavour, but they\u2019re overpriced in the used market, and I\u2019m concerned about the price and availability of spares and services.<\/p>\n
Any help would be appreciated.<\/p>\n
Here’s what GTO<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n\nThe Scorpio-N is made for you. It’s a HUGE step up from the old Scorpio Classic. Take a test drive, you’ll be impressed. The same DNA, but vastly improved. It’s like 2 – 3 generations ahead in terms of interiors, suspension, engines and AT gearbox available too!<\/p>\n
Wait for the 4-door Thar which will launch in a few months. Of course, if you can live with a 2-door, buy one today. Nothing matches the sexiness & character of a 2-door Jeep.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Here’s what BHPian Sheel<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n\nI think the current Scorpio Classic has more features than the S-10. Otherwise, I would be interested to know what extra features the S10 offers over the Classic.<\/p>\n
I think a 5-door Thar will be very similar to the 2-door Thar. Scorpio-N will be a more refined road tourer, plus, should have more features to keep you fresh and might have a more sorted and supple ride than the Thar (this is based on driving the 2-door Thar).<\/p>\n
This should have been the default choice when an upgrade from the Scorpio comes. Do a test drive of the Scorpio-N, you might come away impressed and if you have time, wait for the 5-door Thar and take a call accordingly as per your use case\/requirements.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Here’s what BHPian DicKy<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n\nYou have mentioned all possibilities except for the obvious one.<\/p>\n
The Scorpio-N!<\/p>\n
And as @GTO has said, it is not just a gradual improvement or evolution. It is a proper generational change where you will find the core strengths of the Scorpio intact, while you will feel it is a proper modern car (because it is one)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Here’s what BHPian shankar.balan<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n\nHonestly, there is nothing like that Scorpio S10. And definitely nothing in that price range.<\/p>\n
There are enough takers for a Scorpio in other parts of India and the vehicle will never depreciate below a certain level. So I say keep it as long as you can.<\/p>\n
Then when the 5-door Thar comes out next year, evaluate that and see if it fits your needs and then make a choice.<\/p>\n
Right now, keep that Scorpio. You won\u2019t get another like it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
