Mahindra Scorpio Classic Global NCAP Safety Rating

The Mahindra Scorpio Classic is one popular SUV in the Indian market. It has a masculine look and rugged exterior. In terms of safety features, this Scorpio has always been in discussion. Let’s take a look into the safety rating of the Mahindra Scorpio Classic. 

The Mahindra Scorpio Classic comes with safety features like dual airbags, ABS, and EBD. This is to ensure that the driver and passengers are reasonably well-protected in case of an impact. 

Safety Ratings

However, no known and accredited testing authority, such as NCAP or IIHS, has formally rated the Mahindra Scorpio Classic, hence leaving it without an overall rating for occupant safety protection in case of a crash.

Compared to the safety features of other SUVs available in the market, there is a hint of uncertainty since it does not hold any formal rating. Some experts have found concerns regarding its structural integrity and impact-absorbing capacity.

This should be observed significantly in heavy and big SUV Scorpio Classic, causing a bigger threat to other road users when an accident occurs.
