In 2022, Mahindra introduced the Scorpio N, the generational replacement for the wildly successful Scorpio. The Scorpio N was novel in every way, including its design, functionality, and platform. Alongside its predecessor, which is marketed as the Scorpio Classic, the Scorpio N is currently one of the best-selling Mahindra SUVs. 19 months after the first production-spec Scorpio N left the factory, Mahindra has now reached a new production milestone with the 1,00,000th vehicle leaving the Chakkan facility.
Journey Thus Far
Even before it was released, the Mahindra Scorpio N attracted a lot of attention thanks to multiple spy photos of the SUV that appeared online. Within the first half hour of opening the order books, Mahindra had over one lakh reservations for the SUV. Ever since, the Scorpio has been plagued by protracted wait times even as it strives to boost its output. Ultimately, Mahindra was able to build one lakh SUVs in 2024.
Mahindra hasn’t made any big changes to the Scorpio during this time, but the SUV has continued to make news for recalls, changed features, or received a higher crash test safety rating.
Mahindra recently changed the feature list for the mid-spec Scorpio N model, which also became more expensive following the 2023 price increase. These modifications will take effect for all Scorpio N orders placed after 2024.
Features & Safety
Along with adding more features, the Mahindra Scorpio N now has an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, dual-zone air conditioning, and wireless phone charging. In addition, a single-pane sunroof and a 6-way power driver’s seat are included.
Up to six airbags, electronic stability control, hill-assist control, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are among the safety features.
Powertrain Selections
Mahindra provides two engine options for the Scorpio N: a 2-liter turbo-petrol engine (203 PS/ up to 380 Nm) and a 2.2-liter diesel engine (generating 132 PS/ 300 Nm or 175 PS/ up to 400 Nm). Both come with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission option. Four-wheel-drive (4WD) drivetrains are an additional option for the more potent diesel engine versions.
Value and Competitors
The cost of the Mahindra Scorpio N ranges from Rs 14 lakh to Rs 24.54 lakh. It competes with the Hyundai Creta/Alcazar and Tata Harrier/Safari.
