Here's a look at the SUV's design and interiors
The Scorpio-N follows Mahindra's modern design philosophy and exudes a butch SUV appeal.
It flaunts a sculpted bonnet, a chrome-slatted grille, projector LED headlights, bumper-mounted C-shaped DRLs, silvered skid plates, dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels, and vertically stacked LED taillamps.
Inside, the SUV features a spacious six/seven-seater cabin with a dual-tone dashboard, premium leather upholstery, a powered driver's seat, and a single-pane sunroof.
It packs an 8.0-inch infotainment panel with Amazon Alexa integration and a 12-speaker 3D Sony sound system.
Specifications
Engine and transmission options available with Scorpio N
Under the hood, the Scorpio N boasts a 2.0-liter petrol engine that delivers 198hp of maximum power and 380Nm of peak torque and a 2.2-liter diesel motor that produces 173hp/400Nm.
A six-speed manual or a six-speed torque-convertor automatic gearbox are available, along with an optional '4Xplor' all-wheel-drive system for off-roading enthusiasts.
It's worth noting that Mahindra recently increased the SUV's prices by up to Rs. 39,300 to counter the rise in input costs.
