Mahindra & Mahindra has launched a new mild Intelli-Hybrid variant of the new generation Scorpio S10 2WD variant at Rs. 12.84 lakh for Mumbai-based customers. Moreover, the other variants of the Scorpio starting from S4 models will also be equipped with the same hybrid technology as in Scorpio S10 ZWD.

According to company sources, the new Intelli-Hybrid technology is designed to reduce fuel consumption by up to seven percent by helping the engine with the required electric power during acceleration. It also automatically switches the engine off while the vehicle is stationary mode. Furthermore, the technology refreshes brake energy while applying brakes to charge the battery.

Available on all Scorpio trims which are powered by the 2.2-litre mHawk engine, the Intelli-Hybrid technology is designed for vehicles that make 120PS and 280Nm of torque.

Responding to media, Pravin Shah, President and Chief Executive (Automotive), Mahindra & Mahindra disclosed that since the company that is committed to play a keen emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, during the release of each product, the Intelli-Hybrid technology integrated on the Scorpio is a step in right direction.

He added that by reducing the overall consumption of fuel, the technology enables Scorpio owners to contribute towards eco-friendly and green India.

As of now, Scorpio is also available in India in limited quantities (only 1000 units) as Adventure Edition. Equipped with alloy wheels with the Gun Metal dark theme, the vehicle also features red brake callipers, rear view mirrors with integrated side indicator lamp in addition to tail lamps and the triple jet windscreen washer. While the Scorpio Adventure edition 2WD is available at Rs. 13,07,329, the 4WD variant is priced at Rs. 14,24,012.

Earlier, Mahindra and Mahindra had launched a new 1.99-litre diesel engine for the new XUV500 and Scorpio models with 2000cc and above to counter the Delhi Government’s ban on the sale of diesel vehicles. In June 2016, the company also unveiled the XUV500 AT with the 1.99-litre engine exclusively for the Delhi-NCR region. However, you can expect its availability in other states before the end of 2016.
