CarTell take
We haven't driven the Scorpio yet. On paper, confirm ANCAP testing status before signing. Test the third row with the people who will actually sit there. The Scorpio is happiest off-road or towing; on-highway manners trail a Prado or MU-X.
Why consider it
- $48,990 drive-away buys body-on-frame 4x4 hardware with low range, a rear diff lock, seven seats and Level 2 ADAS, all under a 7-year 150,000 km private warranty.
What to know
- ANCAP rating is not yet published for MY26 and the previous car scored zero stars in 2023, the ride is firm on-road, and the third row is best for kids only.
Who it suits
Trail-led families wanting a body-on-frame seven-seater with low range and lockers from $43,990, camper-tow rigs needing 2,500 kg braked and a 5,155 kg GCM, and value buyers cross-shopping a Prado or MU-X.
