The arrival of the Mahindra Scorpio N has attracted a ton of customers, even those who are already using another SUV.
A Skoda Kushaq owner has put his SUV on OLX in order to buy the new Mahindra Scorpio N. Now, the Kushaq is a mid-size SUV that a lot of people took a liking to because of the peppy and powerful engines. Most people who bought the Kushaq were the ones looking for a car with great driving capabilities. But the Scorpio N offers something totally different. It is a much more rugged SUV with a ton of off-roading kit and powerful engine options. Hence, people flocking to the Scorpio N is understandable. But there are other reasons too.

Skoda Kushaq Owner Selling His SUV To Buy Mahindra Scorpio N
A certain Santosh Dandge has shared his ordeals with the Kushaq on social media quite extensively. He lists out several issues with his SUV including a hard clutch, poor AC performance, and rattling noise from the doors. What is even more frustrating is the fact that he went to the service centre 6-7 times but the issues were not resolved. He mentions that cost-cutting by localisation is the cause of these problems and there is nothing that the service centre professional can do about it. Hence, he decided to sell his SUV and posted it on OLX. He wishes to buy the new Mahindra Scorpio N instead.

According to his OLX listing, he has driven the SUV for 16,000 km, and installed brand new alloy wheels, leather seat covers, parcel tray, LED lights, black roof, floor mats, and a 4-year premium maintenance package. It is the 1.0-litre petrol manual and the asking price is Rs 11.50 lakh. With so many issues with the SUV, the chances of anyone going for it look bleak.
