In comparison, power output of XUV700 diesel variants is in the range of 155 PS / 185 PS. Existing Scorpio also utilizes a similar approach, wherein the base model has 120 PS whereas other variants make 140 PS.
Power output for ScorpioN petrol variants will be uniform at 170 PS. In comparison, power output of Thar and XUV700 variants is 150 PS and 200 PS, respectively.
