New Delhi: Mahindra has launched an updated version of its popular SUV, the Scorpio N, with several long-awaited features requested by customers. The new Scorpio N is priced between Rs 13.69 lakh and Rs 25.49 lakh (ex-showroom). While the engine options remain largely unchanged, the company has focused on enhancing the cabin experience and adding more advanced technology features.
Which feature was most awaited?
Till now, panoramic sunroof has not been available in Scorpio N. This was considered its biggest shortcoming. The company has removed this in the 2026 model. Panoramic sunroof is now provided in the top variant. Along with this, features like a 540-degree camera system, transparent chassis view, and blind view monitor have also been added. These features will make driving easier, especially in off-roading and crowded places.
What new experience will the driver get?
As soon as you sit in the cabin, the first thing you see is the big display. Compared to earlier, a 12.29-inch infotainment system has now been provided. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster has been installed in front of the driver, in which different display modes are available. Mahindra has not completely relied on touch controls. Physical buttons for important functions are present as before, which will make it easier to use in a moving vehicle.
How much did the exterior design change?
If we look at it at first glance, the new Scorpio N looks the same as before. The company has not tried to change its identity. Changes are limited to selected parts only. The higher variants are now fitted with newly designed 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. Apart from this, the front profile and body line have been kept the same.
Is there any new technology in the engine?
No changes have been made in the mechanical part. As before, the SUV will come with 2.0-liter turbo petrol and 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engines. Both engines are available in a choice of 6-speed manual and automatic gearboxes. According to the need, customers can choose both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options.
What will be its impact on the market?
Competition in the full-size SUV segment is continuously increasing. In such a situation, Mahindra has strengthened the list of features without making any major change in the price. This may make the challenge of Scorpio N more difficult for Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector Plus. For those customers who do not want to go for the Toyota Fortuner, it will remain a strong option as before.
