Mahindra Scorpio N Adventure edition revealed

New Delhi: The Scorpio N has been a strong product from Mahindra stable for a few years now, and it is even sold internationally in Australia and South Africa. The brand is completing 20 years in the South African market and has just launched a special edition of the Scorpio, the Scorpio N Adventure. This special edition is based on the Z8 trim, and here’s what the 7-seater SUV gets. 

Mahindra Scorpio Adventure: what’s different? 

The Mahindra Scorpio N Adventure gets a host of upgrades which will aid the SUV in off-road conditions. The regular bumpers have been replaced with steel bumpers (front and rear) that not only improve approach and departure angles but also have recovery points integrated into them. Additionally, there’s a metal skid plate and belly plate to protect the mechanicals from hard impacts during driving and the Scorpio N Adventure comes fitted with a steel roof rack as standard. Mahindra claims that the suspension has also been raised and while the standard Z8 variants ride on 255/60 R18 road tyres, this edition rides on 265/60 R18 all-terrain tyres. The Tow bar is standard on this SUV, while optional on other models of the Scorpio N in South Africa.

Mahindra Scorpio N Adventure powertrain highlights:

In South Africa, the Scorpio is only offered with the 2.2-litre diesel engine and the 6-speed automatic transmission. The diesel mill produces a healthy 175hp and 400Nm and is available with either 2WD or 4WD. The Scorpio N Adventure comes with four-wheel drive as standard and gets a Shift-on-the-fly 4WD system along with 5 traction modes(Normal, Snow, Mud & Rut, Sand). 

Mahindra Scorpio N Adventure price:

Priced at 6,44,499 South African Rand (Rs 29.5 lakh), the Scorpio N Adventure costs more than the higher spec Z8L which is priced at 6,08,199 South African Rand (Rs 27.8lakh), but it is important to note that it does get a raft of factory-fitted off-road upgrades.
