Mahindra Scorpio mHawk (VLX / SLE / LX)

Engine and Performance

  • 2.2L mHawk Turbocharged Diesel: A common-rail direct injection (CRDe) engine utilizing a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT). It produces 120 hp and 214 lb-ft (290 Nm) of torque, featuring a top-mounted intercooler for optimized intake air cooling.
  • Micro-Hybrid System: An early implementation of start-stop technology managed by the ECU. It automatically kills the engine when the vehicle is stationary in neutral for more than 2 seconds, restarting instantly upon clutch depression to enhance fuel economy in heavy traffic.
  • Valvetrain: Employs a chain-driven DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) with 4 valves per cylinder, providing better breathing and high-end refinement compared to the pushrod engines in older Mahindra models.

Drivetrain and Transmission

  • Transmission: Primarily equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox (5MT320) designed for high torque loads; the VLX trim also offered an optional 6-speed torque converter automatic.
  • 4WD System: The VLX 4x4 variant uses a BorgWarner electric shift-on-the-fly transfer case, allowing the driver to engage high-range 4WD at speeds up to 60 km/h.
  • Rear Differential: Features a live rear axle with a 3.73:1 or 4.10: ratio, depending on the specific model year and 2WD/4x4 configuration.

Chassis and Versatility

  • Suspension: Independent front suspension with torsion bars and double wishbones; the rear uses a multi-link coil spring setup with an anti-roll bar, a significant upgrade over the leaf springs found in the earlier Scorpio and Bolero models.
  • Braking: Front ventilated disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The SLE and VLX trims include a 4-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as standard equipment.
  • Towing and Load: Built on a second-generation ladder-frame chassis with a high-tensile steel construction, providing a towing capacity of approximately 5,500 lbs (2,500kg).

Dimensions

  • Length: 174.6 inches (4,435 mm).
  • Width: 71.5 inches (1,817 mm).
  • Curb Weight: Approximately 4,255 lbs (1,930 kg)
