Mahindra Scorpio Lifestyler vs Toyota Hilux: What's Different, Price Gap
Two car companies make pickup trucks for people who like adventure.
Mahindra is an Indian company.
Toyota makes cars all over the world.
Mahindra showed what its new pickup, the Scorpio Lifestyler, looks like.
Toyota already sells a pickup called the Hilux.
The big news is not how they look — it is the price.
The Mahindra Lifestyler will probably cost about Rs 19.79 lakh.
The Toyota Hilux costs about Rs 31.99 lakh.
That is nearly Rs 12 lakh more.
So the Mahindra truck is much cheaper for people in India who want this kind of pickup.
Mahindra has revealed full design details of its Scorpio Lifestyler pickup.
The Scorpio Lifestyler is expected to start at around Rs 19.79 lakh in India.
The Toyota Hilux starts at Rs 31.99 lakh, nearly Rs 12 lakh more expensive.
The price gap, not the styling, is cited as the biggest surprise for Indian buyers.
