After numerous spy shots and teasers, the all-new Mahindra Scorpio N is finally here. The Scorpio name is very well associated with Mahindra and after the massive success of the Mahindra XUV700, they add another big upscaled SUV to their portfolio. The car does borrow plenty of its sibling features but does stay true to itself as a whole. Stay tuned for all the live updates from the launch of the new Mahindra Scorpio N.
While the Mahindra Scorpio N is all-new, the design does reflect the hints of the older Scorpio in an upgraded style
The interior of the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio-N has already been revealed, and the three-row SUV is expected to be well equipped with features like 8-inch touchscreen infotainment, 12-speaker Sony sound system, dual-zone climate control, LED lighting, wireless charging, powered driver's seat, six airbags and a 360-degree camera.
Being based on the same ladder-frame underpinnings as the Thar, the Mahindra Scorpio-N is expected to get a host of rugged 4x4 gear. This should include a mechanical 4x4 system with a low range transfer case, off-road modes, front brake locking differential and a rear locking differential.
The diesel engine option in the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio-N will be the 2.2-litre mHawk unit. This motor is expected to be available in two states of tune with lower-spec variants putting out 132PS and 300 Nm, being offered with a six-speed manual and rear-wheel-drive only. The top-spec variants of the Mahindra Scorpio-N will get this diesel in a higher 175PS tune with torque outputs increasing to 370Nm when paired with the manual and 400 Nm with the six-speed automatic. The petrol engine seems to be a straight lift from the one in the Mahindra XUV700. The 2.0-litre motor puts out 200PS and 370 Nm with the six-speed manual and 380 Nm with the automatic.
