Built to tackle the toughest roads and the heaviest downpours, the Mahindra Scorpio Floodbuster (2016) is a diesel SUV that lives up to its name. Designed for Philippine conditions, this body-on-frame workhorse combines rugged durability with genuine seven-seat practicality.

Under the hood, a 2,490cc turbo diesel inline-4 engine delivers 105 PS at 3,800 rpm and a stout 258 Nm of torque at just 1,800 rpm, making low-speed grunt readily available. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this car feels confident on highways and in urban stop-and-go traffic. The independent coil spring front suspension with anti-roll bar and multi-link coil spring rear setup helps maintain composure even on uneven surfaces.
