Is Mahindra Scorpio Perfect Balance of Power and Comfort?

The Mahindra Scorpio N then meets or exceeds the majority of our high standards. It's more luxurious, potent, roomier, and—above all—creates a pleasant transition for Mahindra buyers from the tough and rugged Thar to the more urban-focused XUV700.

 

Design

The Scorpio N has fog lights and C-shaped LED DRLs in addition to its distinctive chrome grille that divides the LED projector headlamps on the outside. The new dual-tone alloy wheels, the integrated spoiler, and the vertically stacked LED tail lamps are additional highlights.

The Scorpio N's interior includes drive modes, dual-zone climate control, and an electric sunroof. AdrenoX-linked car technology, a Sony music player, and a new touchscreen infotainment system are also included. Customers can also select from configurations with six or seven seats in addition to captain seats in the second row.

 

Specifications

 

Engine

There are two engine options available for Mahindra Scorpio N: a 2-litre turbo-petrol engine that produces 203 PS/up to 380 Nm, or a 2.2-litre diesel engine that can produce 132 PS/300 Nm or 175 PS/up to 400 Nm depending on the variant selected.

 

Gearbox

A 6-speed manual gearbox is the standard gearbox for both of these engines. An automatic 6-speed gearbox is also included with the more power diesel and petrol engines.

 

Performance

When pushed, the nearly 200-horsepower Scorpio N feels swift as well. When you combine that with the enormous weight and size of the vehicle, pushing this three-row SUV is like sitting atop a Sisyphus boulder that is falling down a hill. The Scorpio Petrol Automatic achieved 0 to 100 kmph in 10.44 seconds.

 

Features

There are many features and equipment options available with the new Scorpio N. This Z8 top trim comes with a Sony sound system and an eight-inch touchscreen. It also has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. There is a large sunroof, two-zone automatic climate control, automatic headlamps and electric ORVMs, a front and rear camera with parking sensors, and automatic climate control.

 

Variants

There are four main variations to choose from: Z2, Z4, Z6, and Z8. Mahindra provides it in seven colours: Grand Canyon, Dazzling Silver, Red Rage, Royal Gold, Everest White, Napoli Black, and Deep Forest.

 

Safety

Six airbags, ABS and ESP, hill hold functionality, ISOFIX anchor points, all-four disc brakes, and a driver drowsiness alert ensure safety.

 

Pros

• The overall quality of the ride stays fairly flat.
• Amazingly smooth and quick automatic gearbox

Cons

• Third-row seating is cramped, but ideal for kids.
• Excludes a few necessary components.
• High-end models are expensive.

 

Price

The base model of the Mahindra Scorpio N costs Rs. 13.26 lakh, while the top model costs Rs. 24.54 lakh (average price ex-showroom).

 

Overall

The Scorpio-N is undoubtedly a great option if you're searching for a sturdy ladder-frame SUV that is manageable on rough roads but also easy to drive in urban areas.
