 Mahindra & Mahindra, the leader in the UV segment in India, today launched the Scorpio V-series, a new line-up of India’s leading SUV, with the introduction of the Scorpio VLX. The new VLX edition is equipped with the powerful mHawk engine and a wide array of smart features which gives the SUV an even greater competitive edge in its segment. The new VLX is priced at Rs. 9.33 lakhs, ex-showroom New Bombay and Rs. 9.65 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi.

After all these days of wait and speculation, Mahindra finally launched a new Scorpio variant Vlx with the new 2.2-liter engine. Rumoured earlier to be named eagle, its now branded as mHawk.

This new 16-valve engine displaces 2179cc and churns out 120 bhp @ 4000 rpm and 290 Nm torque through 1800 - 2800 rpm. It is equipped with a Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) to reduce the lag and ensure better delivery of power & torque right from the initial revs. As per Mahindra’s claim Scorpio mHawk can do 0-60 km/h in 5.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 150 km/h.

About the mHawk engine:

Powered by a 2179cc and 4 cylinder diesel engine, the mHawk engine produces 120 bhp and a flat torque of 290 Nm. Advanced Turbochargers feed concentrated gusts of wind into a Variable Geometry Turbine, a simple yet cunning device that partially closes to trap the air inside at high pressures. This generates tremendous torque even at low speeds.



Features are good …and mHawk’s got loads of them. The bigger upgrades on the whole feature list are Cruise control & ABS and others include Tyre-tronics, parking sensors, rain sensing wipers and light sensitive headlamps.
