Hyundai i20 N-Line vs Mahindra Scorpio Classic Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Hyundai i20 N-Line starts at ₹9.27 L and the Mahindra Scorpio Classic at ₹13.37 L, a difference of ₹4.10 L ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹4.55 L. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The Hyundai i20 N-Line uses a 998cc Petrol making 118bhp@6000rpm and listed torque with Automatic/Manual. The Mahindra Scorpio Classic uses a 2,184cc Diesel making 30bhp@3750rpm and listed torque with Automatic/Manual.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Hyundai i20 N-Line number is for the Petrol Automatic/Manual and the Mahindra Scorpio Classic number is for the Diesel Automatic/Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

What one gives that the other does not: The Hyundai i20 N-Line adds Side Airbag, Curtain Airbag, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Rear Camera. The Mahindra Scorpio Classic adds Side Stepper, Chrome Grille, Projector Headlamps, Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel and Diesel Mileage ARAI. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Hyundai i20 N-Line if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹4.10 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Mahindra Scorpio Classic if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Hyundai i20 N-Line offers Side Airbag.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
