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

Safety Rating of Scorpio Classic

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.

Top Scorpio Variants

The Scorpio Classic S11 gets dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat anchors as standard features that one expects in most new cars. This SUV, on the other hand, misses out on some of the rather very important safety features that are slowly catching up in the Indian market, such as ESC and side airbags.

Moreover, the Scorpio Classic S11 was also never officially tested for safety by any accredited bodies like Global NCAP. It is, however, very hard to come up with any general conclusion regarding overall safety in the Scorpio Classic or newer versions sans official safety rating.

Mahindra Scorpio-N

Safety features of the Mahindra Scorpio-N are at galore, including some that are dual fronts with airbags, ABS with EBD, brake assist, electronic stability control, hill hold control, ISOFIX anchors for child seats, speed alert system, seatbelt reminder, and rear parking sensors with camera.
