The all-new Mahindra Scorpio-N has been launched at a starting price of ₹ 11.99 lakh for the entry level petrol MT, going up to ₹ 19.49 lakh for the top-spec diesel-MT variant (all prices, ex-showroom, India). Bookings will officially open on July 30, 2022, and the Scorpio-N automatic line-up’s prices will be revealed on July 21.
The brand has said the prices announced are only for the first 25,000 bookings. The new Scorpio-N is a significant step up over its predecessor, in terms of price and positioning; the latter will be renamed the Scorpio Classic and continue to be sold alongside the new model.
The Scorpio-N comes with the 2.0 turbo-petrol and the 2.2 diesel, the latter being in two states of tune.
The 203hp petrol engine produces 370Nm and 380Nm in the manual and automatic variants, respectively. The 2.2 diesel engine, in its lower state of tune, produces 132hp and 300Nm of torque, while in the higher state of tune, it makes 175hp and 370Nm (manual)/400Nm (automatic). Like the XUV700, the 175hp, 2.2 diesel Scorpio-N gets three on-road drive modes — Zip, Zap and Zoom — where peak power is produced only in Zap and Zoom modes. In Zip mode, the power is limited to 138hp.
All three engines come with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, while the higher-spec diesel and turbo-petrol engine can also be paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
The Scorpio-N comes with rear-wheel drive as standard, but the higher-spec diesel variants can also be had with a four-wheel-drive. In terms of off-road hardware, it gets mechanical locking rear differential, ESP-based brake locking front differential, an independent front suspension system and a five-link rear suspension.
The Scorpio-N also gets four terrain modes — Normal, Grass/Gravel/ Snow, Mud/Rut, and Sand — for Mahindra’s new 4 XPLOR 4WD system with a low-range mode.
