Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. has unveiled its newest SUV, the ‘All-New Scorpio-N’ in South Africa.
The All-New Scorpio-N has been designed by Pininfarina, Italy and Mahindra India Design Studio (MIDS), Mumbai and engineered by the teams at Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) near Chennai and Mahindra North American Technical Center (MNATC) in USA, and manufactured at Chakan, Pune, the All-New Scorpio-N is truly a global product. It will not yet be available in Mzansi but following its local reveal, the Scorpio-N will embark on a comprehensive local testing programme, before coming to showroom floors in 2023.
Bigger, bolder, more powerful, sophisticated, and laden with safety and technology, the Scorpio-N nomenclature was carefully chosen to represent the fact that it raises the game to the power of N. The signature wheel arches have been made even more muscular taking inspiration from the sinewy silhouette of a swimmer. A metallic Scorpio tail element is seamlessly integrated into the beltline, swinging all the way to the top of the window, giving the Scorpio-N more of a sting. The commanding nature of design effortlessly translates into the front as well. The Scorpio character is omnipresent as the tall, stacked taillamp design creates a commanding stand on the rear, as in the front.
The All-New Scorpio-N comes with a new third-generation body-on-frame platform, claimed by the manufacturer to be the class-leader in terms of structural rigidity, off-road capability and on-road manners. The Scorpio-N is powered by a TGDi mStallion (Petrol) engine with 149.14 kW of power and 380 Nm of torque, and mHawk (Diesel) engine with 128.6kW of power and 400 Nm torque, offered in both 6-speed Manual and Automatic Transmissions, and 4X4 as option.
The All-New Scorpio-N greets passengers with top notch craftmanship – rich coffee-black leatherette upholstery, a command seating position, center console encased in robust metal finished dual rails, advanced infotainment system and more. The interiors of the Scorpio-N are designed and fettled to offer a highly sophisticated sensation, delighting the driver and passengers alike.
