About Scorpio-N Bigger, bolder, more powerful, sophisticated, and laden with safety and technology, the Scorpio-N nomenclature was carefully chosen to represent the fact that it raises the game to the power of N.

Thrilling performance [gallery columns="1" size="full" link="file" ids="25615,25614"] Scorpio-N is engineered for those looking for a new-age authentic SUV. Built on our new third-generation body-on-frame platform, the SUV boasts class-leading structural rigidity, off-road capability and exemplary on-road manners.

Unmissable presence The Scorpio-N takes forward the machismo factor to a whole new level. The signature wheel arches have been made even more muscular taking inspiration from the sinewy silhouette of a swimmer. A metallic Scorpio tail element is seamlessly integrated into the beltline, swinging all the way to the top of the window, giving the four-wheeler more of a sting. The commanding nature of design effortlessly translates into the front as well. The Scorpio character is omnipresent as the tall, stacked taillamp design creates a commanding stand on the rear, as in the front.

Premium crafted interiors The new four-wheeler is absolutely captivating on the inside, as on the outside. It greets passengers with top-notch craftmanship – rich coffee-black leatherette upholstery, best-in-class command seating position, centre console encased in robust metal finished dual rails, advanced infotainment system and more, taking the premium-ness to the next level. The interiors of the vehicle are designed and fettled to offer a highly sophisticated sensation, delighting the driver and passengers alike.

Additionally, the penta-link rear suspension features the segment-first watts link mechanism to offer confident ride and handling attributes. The steering setup is remarkably smooth and responsive for a vehicle in its category, and all four disc brakes ensure exhilarating yet safe drive.

‘Go Anywhere’ Capability [gallery columns="1" link="file" size="full" ids="25617,25619"] The vehicle is designed to rule all terrains with the 4XPLOR, first-in-class intelligent terrain management technology. With a mere touch, the electric shift-on-the-fly 4Wheel Drive System transforms the Scorpio-N from 2WD mode into an all-conquering, capable 4WD beast. The Scorpio-N also gets three drive modes to match the driver’s mood: Zip, Zap and Zoom. Zip for smooth riding especially through traffic, Zap for true Mahindra SUV performance and, Zoom to amp it up for more engaging and exhilarating ride quality.

Bristling with Tech The SUV scores high on technology, offering an unmatched value proposition for urban and tech-savvy customers looking for engaging with their SUV to the next level.
