M&M launches Scorpio with Intelli-Hybrid system in Delhi/NCR

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) today launched its SUV Scorpio with Intelli-Hybrid system in Delhi/NCR, at a starting price of Rs 9.35 lakh (ex-showroom).

The 1.99 litre mHAWK engine-powered Scorpio with Intelli-Hybrid will be on sale with immediate effect and being a mild hybrid, will be sold with a concessional VAT of 5 per cent in Delhi which translates into a benefit of Rs 60,000-90,000 for the customer, depending on the variant purchased.

"As an organisation that puts keen emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices, across every process and product, we are delighted to introduce mild-hybrid technology on the Scorpio," M&M President & Chief Executive, (Automotive) Pravin Shah said in a statement.
 

By reducing fuel consumption, Intelli-Hybrid helps Scorpio owners contribute towards a cleaner and greener Delhi and NCR, he added.

Intelli-Hybrid reduces fuel consumption by up to 7 per cent by assisting the engine with electric power during acceleration, automatically switching the engine off within 3 seconds of the vehicle being stationary (start-stop) and reusing brake energy, which would otherwise be wasted, to charge the battery.

The system will come with the 1.99 litre mHAWK engine on S4, S4+, S4+ 4wd, S6+, S8, S10-2WD (Manual Transmission) and S10 4WD (Manual Transmission) variants of Scorpio.
