Engine Code:
REV116 (This designation likely refers to a specific engine variant or generation of Mahindra's diesel engines, possibly related to the mHawk series or older DI/TCIC engines, depending on the exact model year and market for the REV116 variant.)
Horsepower Range:
Typically ranges from approximately 100 HP to 140 HP for various Scorpio iterations, depending on the engine and tuning. The REV116 variant specifics would be detailed within the manual.
Torque Range:
Likely in the range of 200 Nm to 320 Nm, depending on the engine variant. Specifics for REV116 are within the manual.
Fuel Type:
Diesel (primarily for Scorpio models)
Injection System:
Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) is prevalent in newer Scorpio models, especially those associated with mHawk engines. Older models might use Direct Injection or Turbocharged Intercooled Direct Injection (TCIC).
Layout:
Typically Inline-4 cylinder diesel, longitudinally mounted.
Type:
Likely a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission as standard on many Scorpio variants. The REV116 manual will specify for its covered models.
Type:
Automatic transmissions have been offered on certain Scorpio generations and variants. Manuals often cover both if available.
Drivetrain:
Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) is standard on most Scorpio models. Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) or All-Wheel Drive (AWD) options are often available, particularly on higher trims or specific variants.
Length:
Varies by generation and specific variant, but generally in the range of 4400mm - 4650mm.
Width:
Typically around 1800mm - 1850mm.
Height:
Around 1900mm - 2000mm, contributing to its SUV stance.
Curb Weight:
Generally in the range of 1800kg - 2100kg, depending on configuration.
Gross Vehicle Weight:
Typically over 2500kg.
Global Ncaps Rating:
Earlier generations often had lower safety ratings in global crash tests. Later models have seen improvements, but specific ratings vary by market and year.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is typically standard on most later models.
Ebd:
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) is often paired with ABS.
Airbags:
Driver and front passenger airbags are common. Side and curtain airbags may be available on higher trims or specific variants.
Build Type:
Body-on-frame construction provides inherent structural rigidity.
Rollover Protection:
Features like a high ground clearance and sturdy chassis contribute to its off-road capability but also necessitate attention to roll-over dynamics, which the manual will address in handling and stability.
Features:
Varies significantly by model year and trim. Can range from basic AM/FM radio with CD player to touchscreen infotainment systems with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, and USB ports in later models.
Features:
Later models may include features like parking sensors, reverse cameras, and cruise control. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are less common on earlier Scorpio generations.
Options:
Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming on higher trims of newer models.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, for diesel engines. Refer to the manual for specific intervals for the REV116 engine.
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 10,000 km to 20,000 km, or more frequently in dusty conditions. The manual will provide exact guidance.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 20,000 km to 40,000 km for diesel vehicles. Manual will confirm.
Engine Oil:
Typically API CI-4 or API CJ-4 grade, SAE 15W-40 or 5W-40 diesel engine oil. The manual will specify the exact grade and viscosity for the REV116 engine.
