These are three popular options, which hold a strong position in terms of power, comfort and safety. These SUVs show their capability in highway cruising, overtaking and long journeys. Scorpio N is known for its muscular design and raw power, Safari focuses on comfort and safety, while Fortuner is considered the king for reliability and premium feel. Come, let us know about these three.<\/p>\n
Scorpio N is available with 2.0L turbo petrol (203 PS) or 2.2L diesel engine. It feels powerful on the highway, can easily cruise at a speed of 100-120 km\/h. Overtaking is easy and the road presence is amazing. Real-world highway mileage can range from 14-16 kmpl in diesel, although slightly less in petrol.<\/p>\n
Its suspension handles bad roads well, but some users find the seats a little hard. Features include ADAS, 360 degree camera and good safety. Prices start from around \u20b913.49 lakh and go up to \u20b924 lakh, making it a value for money option.<\/p>\n
Safari has 1.5L or 2.0L diesel engine (170 PS, 350 Nm). It is most comfortable on the highway. The ride is plush, straight-line stability is excellent and body roll is minimal. Long drives do not cause fatigue. Mileage in diesel is claimed by ARAI to be 15-16.8 kmpl, in reality you will get around 15 kmpl on the highway.<\/p>\n
The third row is also quite usable in this 7-seater. Safety has 5-star rating and 6-7 airbags. Features like ventilated seats and terrain response mode make highway driving fun. Prices start at \u20b913.3 lakh, making it a budget-friendly option. The company has now introduced it with petrol engine also.<\/p>\n
Fortuner can be bought with 2.8L diesel (204 PS, 500 Nm) or 2.7L petrol engine. It gives the most stable and powerful feel on the highway. With 500 Nm torque, overtaking is quite effortless. Body-on-frame construction provides confidence on long trips.<\/p>\n
Mileage in diesel is around 14-15 kmpl on the highway. Reliability is best, service network is strong across the country, but the price starts from \u20b9 34 lakh and goes up to \u20b9 50 lakh, which makes it costlier than other SUVs. The interior is premium, but advanced features like sunroof are missing in it.<\/p>\n
Our advice:<\/strong> If the budget for highway runs is \u20b9 20-30 lakh and you want power and road presence, then Mahindra Scorpio N is a good option. Tata Safari will be good for family comfort and better safety-mileage. If money is not an issue and long-term reliability is what you want, the Toyota Fortuner is still the SUV with the best road presence. You can choose any one of these SUVs as per your need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
