In its new avatar, the SUV looks enticing with its six vertical slats front grille having the Mahindra logo in the centre, chrome accents all over the body, a bold front facade and a simple yet classy rear profile. In other words, the maker has presented the Scorpio N with a completely new appearance compared to its predecessors. It needs to be mentioned here that the old model of Scorpio will also be sold along with the new-gen model under the name “Scorpio Classic”.

Not only the exterior, but the interior of the new-gen Scorpio also gets a fantastic job done by the design and styling experts at Mahindra. The SUV comes with a host of advanced features like a fully digital instrument cluster, dual front and rear camera, a wireless charger, a multifunction steering wheel, a jewel knob for driving modes, a large instrument cluster, second-row captain seats, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with inbuilt navigation.

Some of the key infotainment system features include Amazon Alexa built-in, what3words (w3w) – Alexa enabled, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto TM, Sony 3D Immersive Audio with 12 speakers and a dual-channel subwoofer.

Under the hood, the big daddy of the SUVs gets two engine options – a 2.2L diesel engine and a 2.0L petrol engine. The 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol engine is capable of generating 200 HP of power along with 370 Nm of torque when paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox and 380 Nm if you choose the 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Coming to the 2.2L mHawk diesel engine, it is available in two states of tune. The low-end option generates 130 HP of maximum power and 300 Nm of peak torque, while the top-end option is good for 172 HP of maximum power. Like the petrol engine option, the high-end diesel engine option also generates two values of maximum torque – 370 Nm with a 6-speed gearbox and 400 Nm with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Talking about the safety features, Mahindra Scorpio-N comes equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control (TC), hill hold & descent control, ABS with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), 6 airbags, vehicle dynamic control, roll-over mitigation, brake disc wiping, electronic brake prefill, ISOFIX, and i-SIZE compatibility.

Mahindra Scorpio-N is also available with a very advanced 4×4 system known as 4XPLOR. Based on the level of traction on the surface, the SUV’s onboard computer will automatically activate or deactivate the 4×4 system, but it can also be controlled manually.

The 4×4 model of the Scorpio-N comes with 2 transfer cases – 4H and 4L and drivers can manually choose one of them via dedicated buttons. There’s also a dedicated differential lock making this SUV kind of a proper off-roader. The 4×4 model also gets four terrain modes – Normal, Grass/Gravel/ Snow, Mud/Rut, and Sand.
