Mahindra Scorpio N : The Indian auto community has been in a tizzy ever since Mahindra has introduced the all new Scorpio N.
Renowned to be rugged and a dominator on rough roads, the Scorpio brand has and always will be the synonym to power and strength.
But with the new Scorpio N, Mahindra has boldly stepped into a new territory: A place where go-anywhere off-road chops are mixed in with a premium, luxury-inspired design.
Be it the formidable mountains or the glitzy urban jungles, the Scorpio N’s raw muscle combined with its elegant presence gives it a seamless edge wherever you take it.
It’s not just a utility vehicle now — it’s a full-on lifestyle SUV ready to take on both the outdoorsy and comfortable crowd.
Bold and Premium Design
The Mahindra Scorpio N looks dignified at the first glimpse. It has a completely new design language that looks rugged but upmarket.
The large signature grille with chrome slats along with sharp LED projector headlamps and the bold DRLs give the SUV a robust and contemporary front look.
It also has a sculpted hood, accentuated character lines and flared wheel arches, all of which adds to its butch character.
However, that’s not what makes it unique, and that is the fact that unlike other off-road trucks, the Scorpio N sports a luxury persona.
Dual-tone alloy wheels, roof rails and some nice upmarket-looking chrome inserts -it all adds a touch of urban charm to the design and its high stance and meaty shoulder line ensures that on no road will it ever blend into the crowd.
Plush Cabin with Jampacked Features
Step inside, and you’d be forgiven for being taken aback by how upmarket the interior of the cabin feels. Mahindra has spared no effort in ensuring a premium feel.
On the inside, it is further enriched with dual-tone interior finish, soft-touch materials, leatherette upholstery, and a neat dashboard layout.
It comes with a large touchscreen infotainment kept on the blow by AdrenoX with smartphone connectivity, connected car features and voice commands.
There is also a fully digital instrument cluster on offer on the top-end version, dual-zone climate control, a Sony 3D sound system and a powered driver’s seat that contribute to the luxury quotient.
As rugged as it looks, the Scorpio N never forgoes on comfort, smugly offering very good seating (up to the 2nd, the 3rd not being bad either).
It comes in 6- and 7-passenger configurations, perfect for families and road trippers.

Dhakad Off-Roading System and Beast of an Engine
The key selling point of the Scorpio is that it’s a tough performer. It is available in two engine options 2.0L turbo-petrol engine and 2.2L diesel engine.
They’re both sophisticated, responsive and provide plenty of oomph. Diesels in particular are known for making lots of torque, which comes in handy off-road.
But what makes the Scorpio N a proper dhakad SUV is its 4X4 system, offered with the diesel mill.
This smart 4XPLOR system adapts to various terrains, such as mud, sand and snow and rock.
Its body-on-frame chassis, high clearance and robust suspension layout enables the car the versatility to tackle tough terrains with ease.
Its ability to hill descent control, hill hold assist, mechanical differential lock and terrain modes that make it the off-roader segment leader — all while never feeling the slightest bit unstable.
