The Scorpio-N broke reservations records in India, reaching 100,000 in less than 30 minutes. It is a genuine Mahindra SUV that builds upon the game-changing tradition of the original Scorpio. In South Africa, customers have been waiting for it with equal fervour. Global standards were followed in the design and engineering of the All-New Scorpio-N. The Scorpio-N raises industry benchmarks in all important categories, including performance, capability, technology, sophistication, ride and handling, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), interiors, appearance, and, most importantly, safety. The All-New Scorpio-N was the first body-on-frame SUV to receive a 5-star rating under the new crash-test guidelines adopted by the Global New Car Assessment Programme (GNCAP) on July 1, 2022.
The Scorpio-N was conceived and built at a cost of R3.4 billion, which includes the setup of a top-notch, highly automated manufacturing line, and is produced at the state-of-the-art plant at Chakan, Pune.
The third-generation body-on-frame architecture for the All-New Scorpio-N has been built to give real SUV characteristics while making sure every drive is safe, comfortable, and exhilarating.

Outstanding presence
With the Scorpio-N, machismo is elevated to a whole new level. The sinewy shape of a swimmer served as inspiration for the even more muscularization of the trademark wheel arches. To give the Scorpio-N more bite, a metallic Scorpio tail piece is effortlessly incorporated into the beltline and swings up to the top of the window. The front effortlessly carries on the design's imposing quality. Because of the tall, stacked taillamp design, which provides a commanding position on the back as well as the front, the Scorpio character is everywhere. Six different body colours will be available for the All-New Scorpio-N: Grand Canyon, Red Rage, Dazzling Silver, Everest White, Deep Forest and Napoli Black.
High-quality interior design
The interior of the All-New Scorpio-N is just as fascinating as the exterior. The Scorpio-N welcomes passengers with exceptional craftsmanship, including rich coffee-black leatherette upholstery, the best-in-class command seating position, a centre console enclosed in sturdy metal-finished dual rails, a cutting-edge infotainment system, and more, raising the bar on premium-ness. The Scorpio-N's interiors were created with a sophisticated aesthetic in mind, satisfying both the driver and passengers.
Fantastic performance
The All-New Scorpio-N is designed for anyone searching for a cutting-edge, real SUV. The Scorpio-N is a third-generation body-on-frame vehicle built on our new platform and boasts class-leading structural stiffness, off-road prowess, and excellent on-road qualities. A mHawk (Diesel) engine with 128.6 kW of power and 400 Nm of torque powers the Scorpio-N. It is available with either a 6-speed automatic transmission or 4X4 as an option.
A good conscience
In its segment, the All-New Scorpio-N has the lowest CO2 emissions. This has been made possible through wise product development and skilled engineering from the beginning. Additionally, a number of environmentally friendly technologies have been utilised in metallurgy and component optimization, such as the most recent dip paint (CG 800 CED coating), low RRC tyres, and LEDs, which can cut overall energy consumption by 10%. In addition, M&M has consciously embraced a number of environmentally responsible manufacturing techniques in line with Mahindra's objective of achieving carbon neutrality.
Ability to "Go Anywhere"
With the help of 4XPLOR, a cutting-edge intelligent terrain management system, the All-New Scorpio-N is built to dominate any terrain. With only a touch, the Scorpio-N can switch from its 2WD mode to a powerful, all-terrain 4WD beast thanks to its electric shift-on-the-fly 4Wheel Drive System. Additionally, the Scorpio-N has Zip, Zap, and Zoom drive modes to accommodate the driver's mood. You may use Zip for comfortable riding, especially in traffic, Zap for the performance you would expect from a Mahindra SUV, and Zoom to turn it up for an even more exciting and thrilling ride.
Brittle with technology
