As per my view, if you want to go for something more refined, with responsive performance and latest enhancement then go for Mhawk, its very good. However, if you want to go for some Class, which Safari has been able to maintain entry level SUV section then Safari is best. However, as said, Scorpio Mhawk is more refined than Safari.

Neverthless to say, very soon new model of Safari is about to come, I am not sure about date but first or second quarter of 2010, however will be better than current Safari. Can be worth to wait.

Thx Ricky
My main concern is the maintenance of the vehicle. I went thru an article which said it costs 6000-8000 per month to maintain safari. Can u give some adv on that.

Re: Tata Safari 2.2 VTT DICOR EX/GX or Mahindra Scorpio mHawk VLX

That is ridiculous, even on full service of new Safari you won't be spending that amount. But it is true that there is little more wear and tear in Safari as it lacks refinement (but you won't face any such until you buy a new vehicle) or I feel TATA don't work accordingly on customer / mechanic feedback.

Above all, if you take care of you vehicle / car properly then it will never hog your pockets. Major problem arises only out of ignorance.

Re: Tata Safari 2.2 VTT DICOR EX/GX or Mahindra Scorpio mHawk VLX

I've owned 3 safaris till date...

No comparision...Comfort is world class.
Space is more than Scorpio...so is thet Image impression!

You can see Scorpio in TAXI, but never for Safari.

but maintainance is through the roof!!

If you manage to harm the suspension (Which will problably happen on terrible indian roads) prepare to spend around 25k.

A complete overhaul is coming probably next year. It will carry on the same base body, but re-designed front nose, Bumper and headlights.
Maybe new tail lights too.

That maintenance cost thing you read in the article is Slightly exaggerated, but reality is still close.

@ Bhvm: 22-25 seconds is when you really take care of your car...... If a person wants to know the timing.... its a raw speed rise he is checking for..... that results in 15-17 seconds...... complete throttle opened in 1st 2nd and 3rd..... u ll use a lot of fuel and burn the oil real fast..... but its fun........ make sure no one streets as "Safari lays behind in breaking..... it pulls to left on sudden breaking"

I am owning Safari since 2002 (4 changed), having driven BMW X5, Q7 and VW T, I strongly feel Safari is the best for indian Roads....

At for the price range of 8-10 lakhs , Tata Safari is teh best SUV you can get

I think both SUV are 19-20. Bust Tata Safari is best than Scorpio. Tata Safari have good mileage than scorpio and another thing is look. So my personal vote is tata safari is best.
So, you have to think about both vehicle and have to take good decision.
Best of luck..
and Congratulations for new car...

Why does everybody compare the Mahindra Scorpio with the Tata Safari? I think the Scorpio should be compared only with the Tata Sumo.

The Scorpio is not a true Sports Utility Vehicle.

Here are some basic characteristics that one expects from an SUV

1. 4 wheel drive: The Scorpio does not have it while the Safari does.

2. High ground clearance: At 185mm the ground clearance of the Scorpio is lower even than the Maruti SX4 sedan (190mm) not to mention the Ford Fusion (198mm). The Safari has an immense 205mm which is well in the league of international SUVs.

3. Spare wheel on tail gate: No doubt this is cosmetic but even this is missing on the Scorpio. Instead it has a fake air scoop on the bonnet. How juvenile.

The shape, wheel base, (bouncy) ride quality etc of the Scorpio are all very similar to the Sumo and hence I feel this would be the right comparison. No doubt the Scorpio has a better look than the Sumo but park them side by side and take a look from the front, back and sides and the similarities will be all too obvious.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Tata Safari is a true blooded SUV unlike the Mahindra Scorpio.

Suv

safari is truly suv 140ps power, 205 ground clearance, highway mileage is 15

scorpio is not suv bec 180 ground clearance, 120bhp power, pure milage 12.5, nothing 4x4 option

suv requirement - 1) have to above 200 ground clearnce
2) have to above 125bhp power
3)4x4

so finely scorpio is muv and safari is suv

Safari range starts frm 7.5 to 15 and scorpio 4rm 7 to 13.

Safari is the bst 1 cauz its having surprising power under its hood and till 10.5 u will get with reverse camera, music system, and 4x4 it has grt offroading capability whereas at ur budget u will gt scorpio bt wt no reverse cam, and it also has mst uncomfortable cabin and 3rd row siting.
Their r also a SUV like xuv and aria to check ouT.
