In terms of the petrol engine on offer, the Scorpio N leads the Fortuner. Despite being down on displacement, the engine of Scorpio makes more power and torque, and by the virtue of being turbo petrol will be punchier too.

Despite being down on displacement by a good 500-600cc, the Scorpio N diesel manages to hold its own in the power and torque figures when compared on paper with the Fortuner. Although given the track record of Mahindra diesel engines, real-world performance should be a lot closer than what the on-paper specs suggest.
