Similarities Between the Xylo-Scorpio and Superb-Passat

The Xylo and Scorpio come from M&M. The Skoda Superb and Volkswagen Passat are from the same Volkswagen Group.
There exists some similarities between the two pairs of cars, from the same or more or less same manufacturing stables.
The Xylo's powerplant is the old Scorpio's 2.6 L CRDe engine, now
sliced down to 2.5 L /112 bhp/ 24kgm. It has lots of leg room for its
rear seats and the overall interior space is cavernous as compared to
the Scorpio. All Scorpios (but for the M2DI) now come with the 2.2 L
/120bhp/ 28.5 kgm, m Hawk engine that are more peppier than the Xylo's
engine.
The Skoda Superb in India comes with the old 1968 cc/ 140 bhp/32.6 kgm
@ 1750rpm, PD (pump duse) Passat engine, which is a little bit sluggish
vis a vis the 1968 cc/ 138 bhp/ 32.6kgm @1750 - 2500rpm, new common
rail diesel engine of the Passat. The latter is peppier. The mid range
punch in the Superb engine though is more perceptible.Again here the
Skoda Superb offers much more rear seat legroom and space vis a vis the
Passat.
This is a comparo between just phased out engines, finding place post
retirement in its sibling, a newer and just introduced model that offer
more interior space

very true anjan, absolutely what we are seeing is the phased out engines are finding their place back on new body with both the cases from mahindra and VW group.But we might expect new top end model from mahindra for xylo with its newer mhawk engine.IMO

A good comparison anjan. Nice find.

I would add the price too. Old engine + more space+less price for Xylo and Superb. New engine + less space+ more price for Scorpio and passat.
