Almost the same size tank as my pug 208.. yet over 4x the consumption.. enjoy all the fillups this thing will need
 
From the link above some real world consumption figures from an owner:

My first tank the trip computer was sitting on 10.2km/L and when I refueled at the pump I calculated it to be 10.1km/L this tank included numerous test drives by friends and family. And they all wanted to feel the power.

Current tank trip computer is sitting on 11km/L this is 60% Town, 40% Highway driving.

SUV recommendations

I'm looking to replace my current vehicle (Renault Duster). It's old and is starting to give me expensive problems. I want a vehicle with decent ground clearance like most SUV's have. Even a cross model may work? Price: max R400k (second hand with low mileage is ok) As light as possible on...

Shotto, I’ve also been putting updates of the ScorpioN (gettit?) in this thread. Early page 9 or so.

Mahindra Scorpio & Pik Up

I see a fair bit of Mahindra fans here....here is the new Scorpio that's now out in SA. Mahindra SA has launched a redesigned version of its Scorpio S10 SUV. The new model is based on an (apparently) all-new platform and apart from fresh looks, the newcomer boasts a host of new technologies...

It seemed you from making the thread to getting the purchase was rather short, were there any other options on the shortlist?

I wanted a 4x4 so options were limited.

I really wanted a Jimny, but with an 8 month old baba that wasn’t an option.

I also didn’t want to top 600k and I wanted something super safe for said baba (this has 5 star global NCAP rating).

I considered the Chinese AWD units as a compromise but they’re very expensive fuel wise (10-11L/100km) whereas the Scorpio N is less (manufacturer specs are 6.9L/100km) - some Indian users have been getting 19km/L but obviously they don’t drive as fast as us!

At the end of the day I got a demo so 10k discount for 405km on clock, got 20k trade assist and an OK trade in offer so I pulled the trigger.

I’ve also eagerly been watching the local 4x4 forums, along with the Indian FB groups and feedback was generally decent.

It’s a lot of car for the money, you can almost double your budget for a similar spec Fortuner.
 
Did 150km drive on the weekend. Feels great on the road - it's a nice drive.

My only complaints would be around glitchy software (which has updates coming).

Camera is laggy (fixed in Indian FW, but not in SA yet) + audio system stopped outputting sound one time I started up, powering off for a minute or two seemed to fix the issue.
