“The new Scorpio Automatic has been designed to make driving an effortless experience.”
 
Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M), India’s leading automotive brand with a growing global presence launches the Scorpio Automatic in Egypt. The Scorpio Automatic incorporates a fully automatic 6-speed gear box and the powerful 2.2 litre mHawk engine.
Mahindra made its debut in Egypt with the launch of the diesel and petrol versions of its Scorpio SUV in 2008, in partnership with the Bavarian Auto Group.
 
“We are delighted to expand our product range for the Egyptian market to include the Scorpio Automatic. With in-built intelligent driving modes for an effortless drive and a wide array of smart features, the Scorpio Automatic offers an even greater competitive edge in its segment. Egypt is a strategic market for us and we are soon going to enhance our current product portfolio with the launch of several new products”, said Pravin Shah, Executive Vice President, International Operations, Automotive Sector, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.
 
“Moreover, the Bavarian Auto Group, our partner in Egypt, has extensive expertise in assembly and distribution of world class automobiles and will help us further consolidate our presence in the region,” he added.
 
The new Scorpio Automatic has been designed to make driving an effortless experience. The car’s intelligent driving modes provide greater vehicle control in a variety of conditions, be it stop-and-go traffic, slippery roads or steep inclines. Moreover, the Automatic is powered by the technologically superior mHawk engine which ensures a smoother drive and better fuel efficiency.
 
The vehicle has a fully electronically controlled automatic gearbox which results in shorter shift times and hence, improved drivability. The Scorpio Automatic is also remarkably low maintenance due to several advantages. The transmission is permanently sealed and does not require an oil change throughout its life. It also incorporates an adaptive strategy to maintain optimum shift quality through the entire life of the transmission. An inbuilt overheat self-protection strategy and a high self-diagnostic capability are additional benefits.
