Mahindra Scorpio N Launch Tomorrow: Here’s What We Know So Far

So far, we have details about its variants, engine specifications, dimensions, and most of the features

Mahindra is all set to launch the Scorpio N tomorrow. We have most of the details of the SUV, while we’re awaiting its prices. It will be the first time that the Scorpio is manufactured from the SUV maker’s Chakan (Pune) plant. 

So, here are all the details that we know so far: 

Scorpio N Variants

The SUV will be offered in five grades: Z2, Z4, Z6, Z8, and Z8L. The Z8 and Z8L variants can be had with the choice of six and seven seater configurations. The base-spec Z2 7-seater variant will not be available with the optional automatic gearbox. The automatic and 4WD option can be had right from the second-to-base Z4 variant. 

Scorpio N Looks

In comparison to the outgoing Scorpio, the new version gets a complete overhaul. The butch old-school styling is evidently seen here, maintaining its tall-boy silhouette. Exterior highlights include the C-shaped LED DRLs, LED projector headlamps, a stepped-up roofline, and tall tail lights. 

Scorpio N Engines

The Scorpio N will be offered with 2.2-litre and 2-litre turbo-petrol engines. The base-spec variants will get the 132PS diesel engine, while the top-end will get the 175PS engine with an optional 4WD. There won’t be a petrol variant with the 4WD option. Both the engines will get 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions. 

Scorpio N Off-road Specs

The 4WD variants of the SUV will carry the ‘4XPLOR’ suffix. The Scorpio N’s off-roading capabilities will be aided by features such as shift-on-fly, low and high-range gearbox with four pre-set traction modes for different terrains, rear mechanical locking differential, front brake locking differential, hill descent control, and off-road statistics on infotainment. 

Scorpio N Dimensions

The Scorpio N will be 4,662mm long, making it almost as lengthy as the XUV700. In terms of width and height, it’s bigger than the XUV as well as the Safari. 

Scorpio N Interior And Features

The Scorpio N follows a dual-tone black and brown interior theme for the cabin. The climate control unit and switches, look identical to the Thar. The SUV will also get dual tone leatherette seats, which are expected to be exclusive to the top-end variants. 

In terms of features, here’s a list of what all has been confirmed

• LED projector headlamps

Scorpio N Safety

Just like the XUV700, we’re expecting a good crash test safety rating for the Scorpio. Here are the safety features that it will get: 

Scorpio Classic

The outgoing version of the SUV will be retained, but will be sold as the ‘Scorpio Classic’. It will further get some minor cosmetic upgrades, including tweaked bumpers, a new grille, dual-tone alloys, and possibly, some new colours. The Classic will be available only in two variants: base S3+ and top-end S11. The Thar and Scorpio N’s 130PS 2.2-litre diesel engine will be available here.
