I looked at multiple other cars as alternatives but in the end, two incidents helped me to finalise my decision.

BHPian vivekgk recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

A bit of history

I’ve always been a vehicle enthusiast for as long as I can remember.

The desire to own an SUV hit me soon after I had started driving cars. Just a few months after, I had sharpened my skills as best as I could on our family’s ageing M800 and began test driving every car I could, under the false pretence of replacing it.

Here’s a pic we took just before she was sold. We had given her a late-life makeover, with a repaint and conversion to Type-3 lights.

On one of those trips, I was enticed onto a used Mahindra Bolero by a very eager sales guy. It was a 2008 or 2007 model SLX, and “crude and noisy” as it was, I was hooked the moment I put it in First and felt the initial push off the line. No car I’d driven till then had felt so alive at idle speeds, and I could go through the gears till third with no throttle input. I loved the tall driving position, the tough feeling and the DI Turbo engine. My dad drove it too, and loved it, as he had always been keen on Jeeps, and this one was a limo compared to the Taxis we used in Idukki. but “better sense” prevailed and we got an Indigo instead as it could be bought new in our limited budget.

I always loved the shape of the Indigo, especially the CS model. This pic was taken about 2 weeks after delivery.

Fast forward to 2016, when we were upgrading again, and this time around, with a higher budget, I was keen on buying a crossover or SUV. Sadly, even the base Scorpio M2DI was way out of our budget. The TUV300 was a good contender, and I loved the tall big SUV driving position. I also loved the taller Nuvosport despite the oddball looks, as it had a nicer stereo, more comfortable leatherette seats and a 100 bhp engine on all variants. Sounds crazy, but there was a certain cuteness and appeal to its unconventional styling, for me at least. My family hated it though. At the time, we wanted a proper family car like the Indigo, to be driven by Dad and myself, and also had to be suitable for my mom who couldn’t really get onto the high seats of the TUV.

Here too, “better sense” prevailed, as the Brezza and Ecosport diesels cost nearly the same as a Bolero or a TUV, and the crossovers were miles ahead in every parameter, and also easier to drive and easier to get in and out of.

The final decision was heavily influenced by my family, who wanted to go with the safer choices. It was a sensible decision and the Ecosport gave me 6 years and 40K kms of awesome performance and sharp handling, and was with me through thick and thin. We had fun.

The Ecosport after 6 years and 40K kms. Before the sale, I had the whole car dented, touched up and polished.

Trials and Tribulations of Replacing the Ecosport TDCi – Part I

It was only because I needed an automatic car that I decided to move on, in 2021. The car was now 5 years old, and had covered about 35K. My employer had a staff loan policy that would allow a new car loan only once in 5 years. As 5 years had passed, this would be the year in which I could start looking for a replacement for the Ecosport. I started reading up on potentials, with the sole criterion being that it should be an AT. If it was big, I could replace the Ecosport altogether, or if it was small, I could add it alongside. I test drove every car that I could.

If you’ve ever owned an Ecosport TDCi, you’d know that it is one of the hardest cars to find a replacement for, because it’s so damn awesome and competent. Few cars could match the dynamics and the value proposition at the time. This was a car that you could drive like hell on any kind of roads, with not a peep from the excellent suspension or the engine, and still get very decent mileage. Now, it’s a bit easier, with the Taigun and Kushaq giving it a run for the money.

The XUV500 would be a good upgrade, but the prices for the AT variants were sky-high, even in the used market. Still, I made enquiries about the XUV500 W7 AT, and I think it was while I was getting my Ecosport evaluated by Mahindra dealer that FoMoCo decided to cut and run from India. Ford prices dropped overnight, and the market was flooded with mindless panic sellers and greedy dealer-sharks. I even thought about getting an automatic Ecosport or Figo/Aspire to compliment my car.

Then, Mahindra launched the XUV700 at mouthwatering launch prices. It was unbelievable. I joined the rat race and paid the dealer in advance to reserve me an XUV700 Petrol AX5 AT in Silver. It was unbelievable value for the price.

The XUV700 site allows you to see models of all variants and colors. Since I never had a look at the car I’d booked, this is all I had.

It was out of my budget, but I very naively thought that:

  • I could get a good price for the Ecosport by the time the XUV was delivered, and
  • That I could save a bunch on road tax as I was eligible for the newly announced BH registration scheme.

Neither of these happened. I couldn’t sell the Ecosport at a reasonable price, and it would be a year before prices finally recovered. The maximum I was being offered at the time was 5.75 lakhs.

Further, The Gods in our God’s Own Country decided that offering the BH registration would mean less tax money for them to splurge on their whims and took the stance to continue to charge the highest road tax rates, for possibly the worst roads in the country. Oh, and Mahindra had raised the ex-showroom prices of the AX5 P AT variant by 1.69 lacs when my booking had “matured” and the car was at the dealer.

I got another sticker shock when I was informed that the road tax, insurance and other fees/charges would be charged at the revised ex-showroom price, and the 1.69 lacs would be given as a discount on the final invoice price. This put the car totally out of my reach, unless I made some really bad financial calls and liquidated some of my “never sell” assets. So I ended up having to cancel the XUV booking. I was really disappointed, and didn’t even have the heart to go and see the vehicle in the yard.

On a better note, I also got transferred to my hometown of Thiruvananthapuram, and the move and settling in kept me busy for a while. But then the “New Car” bug bit me again after having to drive around in Tvpm’s slow morning and evening traffic in the Ecosport and its bloody long, heavy clutch.

I briefly toyed with the idea of retaining the Ford and getting a small automatic car for my daily use but ended up selling it in the end. I had stopped driving it at about 39500 kms, so that I could truthfully claim that it had run under 40K.

I think that it helps a prospective buyer rationalise the purchase a bit more. And seeing that 40K rollover when you’re driving it is always a nice experience, and I wanted to save it for the next owner, as a sort of a premium. In the end, I think it was a good decision to sell the Ecosport, as it would lose even more value if I waited till 2023, and I’d have even less in hand after closing its loan.

I borrowed my Dad’s Nano AMT for the time being, till I could buy the next car. This helped me immensely, as I was effectively de-acclimating myself some of the fancy stuff that I had got used to with the Ecosport. Features like Keyless entry and Go, the Start button, Climate control, sharp steering etc.

Dad’s Nano in Persian Rose shade. I’ve only seen three cars in this shade. It’s a much more vibrant shade IRL.

This time around, thanks to a healthy revision in my employer’s staff loan policy and some improvement in my financial situation, I had a larger budget. After reading several articles here about lateral upgrades, I also began to consider used cars as an option, which really broadened my options, like this NRI-used 2019 XUV500 W11(O) AT that had only covered 24K kms. But the asking price was waaay- too much, something that was the norm in the used car market, esp. with dealers. The guy was polite and friendly to deal with though, I gotta say.

I think that the last facelift of the XUV500 is the best version of it. Love the wheels, and the front grille.

Trials and Tribulations of Replacing the Ecosport TDCi – Part II

Choosing the Variant and Colour

Around this point, the new ScorpioN was launched, and my “Big SUV” senses perked up. This time around, I had decided that my basic starting point would be a proper auto gearbox and a fun-to-drive engine, within my budget. Considering that, I decided to book the ScorpioN Z4 AT, which was the most affordable AT variant. I would be missing out on many “nice to have” features, but there was the mHawk/mStallion engines and 6 speed Aisin TC combo, that I had loved in the XUV700.

I opted for diesel because even though my running would be lower, I would be using it more in the city, and diesel would be the more frugal option there. It was about 2 lacs out of my estimated budget, so the booking was more out of FOMO than actual ability to buy the car at that point. I figured that I might as well book it, since I could always just cancel it (again) if I couldn’t arrange the funds. I booked through the dealer.

Unlike my previous purchases, I was breaking a couple of my own rules regarding car buying. Firstly, I was booking a newly launched car, as opposed to something that has had the niggles worked out, especially from an Indian brand. Secondly, I didn’t take detailed test drives, as the vehicle was never available. I trusted TBHP fully this time and took the plunge. As for the variant, I had booked the Z4 AT D Black. My wife had almost convinced me to book the Silver one as it would be easier to maintain, but when the dealer called to finalise the color and variant, I said, “Colour? Yeah, I’d like Ssssiiiill… Siiillll….. Black.. Definitely Black. Yeah…”, and then grinned at my wife. She definitely wasn’t happy.

I was second-guessing my choice of the Z4 variant and colour for a time, But then, our own Cyrus Dhabar did a video on Powerdrift, and said the magic words… “I don’t think you need to buy the top-of-the-line Scorpio to get the full experience anymore…” and recommended the Z4 variant.. and finished off by saying, “Whatever you do though, buy one in Black..” the comment is at 6:10.

A long wait and distractions

But the long waiting period (>6 months as per the booking site) gave me too much time and I continued to worry about whether to spend this much on a car, when it wasn’t very sensible. I was getting the same advice from friends and family as well, to not spend so much, especially with the markets moving rapidly to EV. Most of my driving would be through congested traffic, and the commute was less than 10km per day.

So I began compiling a list of alternatives. The only hard and fast rule was that had to be a proper AT. But then, I test drove an IMT Kia Seltos, and it was alright. To top it, it was the HTK+ variant, which was well equipped, and had everything including a sunroof and a nice audio system. It was what a top end Creta would have been like, 5 years ago, and it is a variant that I would recommend to anyone. So, I had to include it in the list.

I particularly liked the Sonet Diesel’s TC, the Venue Nline’s DCT, and the Taigun 1.0’s TC. The Taigun in particular, really impressed with it’s Euro handling that reminded me of the Ecosport, and it’s tiny TC engine, esp in Sports mode taught me that the Germans weren’t to be underestimated.

I had also driven the Astor CVT. It is a really nice family car and has the classiest interiors, but its very ordinary engine disappoints on performance. If they had put the 1.5 turbo from the Hector in it, it would be much better. I also didn’t like the styling that much. I’m sure there are people who like the opulence it offers, but I think it lacks cohesiveness. It’s not that the Chinese can’t make good-looking cars. The BAIC BJ40 for example, looks awesome.

I also tested the Harrier, but the XMA variant was very under-equipped and more expensive than the ScorpioN by more than a lakh. The SA then recommended that I try the Nexon EV. As I said, it was very compelling, especially with the year-end offers. The negatives were the styling which I wasn’t that fond of (the rear), fear of battery replacement costs down the lane, and the idea that it was a very expensive, sub-4m car after all, at a price not too less than the ScorpioN.

Since the delivery date was supposed to be in Jan-Feb 2023, I also included the yet-to-be-announced Jimny and the XUV400 in the list.

The sensible thing to do would be to buy a hatch or a Crossover. The Sonet, for example, had a great diesel engine, creamy AT gearbox, was powerful and was loaded to the gills with features, all well within my budget. With my small commute, I could even go for the Nexon EV, which would be massively more economical. The Taigun with the 1L TSI and the quick 6-speed TC was wonderful to drive.

All of these were more sensible and practical than a too big, heavy, BOF SUV, which was overkill for my usage. But try telling that to my SUV-crazy brain which was constantly picturing myself driving The Beast everywhere… Even while I was driving the Nano through the city streets and narrow lanes, I would be mapping out whether a Scorpio would fit that road and figuring out the best path through.

Call of the Beast…

But in the end, two things happened that made the decision for me.

  • One fine December morning, I was driving through congested traffic, and in my RVM, I saw a Black Fortuner, approaching very fast. Way too fast, on the right lane. Before I could think “Where the heck is he going to go in this mess?”, I saw the traffic on the right lane part magically with two loud honks from the fearsome beast, and it had passed through like a hot knife through butter, with the gap closing behind it! I kept replaying that scene in my mind, and replaced the Fortuner with me on my ScorpioN, sitting in the driving seat like those Jarls from Skyrim (one of my fav games).

  • The second incident was when the dealer called me a fine day, and told me that my booking would be delivered by December end. Some sweet and sour interactions with the dealership followed, regarding the timing of the full payment, as well as the pricing for insurance.

Love at First Sight…

On the Saturday afternoon of Dec 17th, My SA, Mr. Sunildutt called me and delivered the awesome news that my own ScorpioN was finally here. The vehicle was being unloaded on the NH Bypass and would be brought to the showroom that evening. I thanked him, and asked him to confirm as soon as it had arrived.

I left work a bit early (A load of Thanks to my Boss) and reached the dealership at about 6 pm, where I was treated to my first sighting of her…

It was easy to spot her, as she was the only one wearing the black steel rims.

I immediately got a flashback of Sri. Behram Dhabar and his all-Black Scorpio INTERCEPTOR with the Black steel rims and no Side-Step…

You can also see the red Z4 in the back. I was meaning to ask about it to my SA, but totally forgot about it.

It looks awesome from head-on. The new logo matches the front very well, much more than the old oval.

The rear isn’t my favourite bit. But the high tail lamps mean fewer chances of them getting damaged in traffic. The Z4 comes with the rear wash/wipe and defoggers, which was an essential bit for me.

One clever bit is that the panel with the rear wiper is a separate plastic piece, which means that the rear wiper can be added to a lower variant, without replacing the rear windshield.

I think this is important, with Mahindra’s tendency to strip off features from lower variants. The XUV700 AX3 no longer has rear wash/wipe as standard.

I inspected all around the Beast and also took a peek inside. The gearshift is the same as the top models, but the trim around it is black instead of Silver.

They should have used a rubber boot for the handbrake, as there seems to be too much bunched up material there. It sometimes gets caught and prevents the handbrake from going all the way down.

I did sit in the driver’s seat, took some pics of the dash as well, and tested out the touchscreen, which felt reasonably responsive.

The greyscale MID display and the gauges looked good, and I was altogether impressed. This pic was actually taken later on the delivery day, as the pic I originally took wasn’t clear.

The sticky bits are from my kid checking out the screen. After being used to the mostly text-based SYNC screen on the Ecosport, this is a huge improvement.

As the big boxes with the side steps and wheel caps were inside, I couldn’t try out all the seats.

How I upgraded from a 2016 Ford EcoSport to a Mahindra Scorpio N, Indian, Member Content, Mahindra Scorpio N, Ford Ecosport

The Z4s came with 245/65R17 Bridgestone Ecopia tyres, while the Z8Ls all had MRF. The big discs and calipers require at least 17-inch wheels for proper clearance.

I left after about half an hour, after arranging for a visit on the next day. Incidentally, as I was leaving, they were delivering another Z4 D AT.

I approached them and congratulated the new owner and his family. Apparently, their car had reached a week before.

I returned on Sunday with the family and we all had a good long look at everything. The exterior and interior were blemish-free and other than the dust and dirt, the vehicle was fine.

The switch gear is straight from the XUV300 and 700. They have a nice feel, but I think the headlight switch is a bit too small, considering it will see frequent use. I prefer the Euro-style headlamp switch dials.
Also note that there is a fog lamp switch provided, even though there are no fog lamps on this model. Good to have when I eventually get them fitted…

We left that day very satisfied, and I went to the showroom on Monday and completed the payment formalities. I spoke to their insurance person as well as the accessories person, and arranged for some basic accessories for about 11K, including mudflaps, door-sill covers, and steel pedal covers.

A Word about Insurance

The dealership had given a quote of Rs. 97K for full coverage insurance. I obtained an NCB certificate from the previous insurer for my Ecosport with 50% NCB. I had also taken a quote from Policybazaar.com, which was Rs. 49K from United Insurance, as well as my previous insurer and SBI General, who could give me a staff discount. I was also willing to take a voluntary deductible of Rs. 10000/-.

With those quotes with me, I was able to negotiate with the dealer’s insurance team. They were insisting that even though their quote was higher, they would be able to provide easier and faster cashless claims. I contended that even so, it was not worth the huge difference, and insisted that they bring down the amount. By the evening, they had finally agreed to Rs. 54K, which included Zero Dep, Return to Invoice, Engine Protection, Tyre Protection, Consumables Coverage, as well as PAI cover for the driver and passengers, with a voluntary deductible of Rs. 7500/- only. I agreed, and the registration process was started off the next day after completing the payment formalities.

D-Day – Finally

Due to the Christmas weekend, the registration process was delayed by several days, and it was only on Dec 26th evening that the vehicle was readied. For “auspicious” reasons, the delivery was arranged for Wednesday, 28th December at 3 p.m.

As it was a month end, I couldn’t get a full day off. The 7D mats and 17-inch wheel caps that I had ordered online had arrived, and I went to the showroom first thing in the morning to drop them off, with instructions to have them fitted by delivery time along with all the accessories.

The car was ready on the showroom floor, looking all shiny and new, but I couldn’t take any pics as I had forgot my phone in the car. Damn.

My family and I reached the dealership in time, with a cake for the showroom staff, who gave us a warm welcome. The SA, Sri. Sunildutt took me aside and sat down and explained all the documentation that he was handing over, with separate covers for keeping with the car, and to be kept in safe custody. He also setup my ID with the With You Hamesha app for customer care and service, on my phone.

The accessories person was impressed with the 7D mats and the wheel caps, which were suiting the car really well. Here’s the driver footwell with the mats and the accessory pedals fitted. They look and feel much nicer than the stock plastic.

We were asked if we would like an unveiling function with a red cape and pop-crackers and all that, which I graciously declined. Then, it was Delivery Time…

How I upgraded from a 2016 Ford EcoSport to a Mahindra Scorpio N, Indian, Member Content, Mahindra Scorpio N, Ford Ecosport

I was filled with childlike glee and excitement and grinning from ear to ear. The car looked awesome, and the deep black really stood out.
