As reported earlier, Mahindra has upgraded its 'Micro-Hybrid' technology to ‘Intelli-Hybrid’ and has employed it in the Scorpio. This has resulted in the Scorpio (with ‘Intelli-Hybrid’) now being priced at Rs 9.74 lakh (ex-showroom, Navi Mumbai). Apart from the change in the nomenclature, the new system also reduces fuel consumption by assisting the engine with electric power during acceleration. This is done by reusing the recovered brake-force energy. Apart from this, the system also performs the idle start/stop function, which was present in the older tech. The ‘Intelli-Hybrid’ tech is available on the entire 2.2-litre mHAWK MT range of the SUV.
