The Mahindra Scorpio N, one of India’s most popular SUVs, is set to receive a major upgrade with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) Level 2 capabilities and a panoramic sunroof. This move aligns Mahindra with global safety trends, enhancing the Scorpio N’s appeal in the competitive SUV market.
Next-Gen Safety: What ADAS Level 2 Brings to the Scorpio N
Mahindra’s latest social media teaser hints at lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automated braking—key components of ADAS Level 2. This semi-autonomous tech reduces driver fatigue on highways and enhances collision avoidance, making the Scorpio N one of the safest vehicles in its class.
Unlike basic ADAS systems, Level 2 allows for hands-off steering in certain conditions, a feature previously seen only in Mahindra’s XUV700 and XUV 3XO. Expect these upgrades in the top-tier Z8 variants, appealing to safety-conscious buyers.
Open-Air Luxury: The New Panoramic Sunroof
Currently, the Scorpio N has a single-pane sunroof, but Mahindra is upping the ante with a panoramic sunroof for select trims. This upgrade transforms the cabin experience, flooding it with natural light and giving passengers a more open, airy feel—perfect for long drives and urban commutes alike.
Unchanged Power: The Scorpio N’s Trusted Engine Lineup
Mahindra isn’t tweaking what already works. The Scorpio N continues with two proven engine options:
- 2.0L Turbo-Petrol (200 HP, 380 Nm) – Smooth acceleration and refined performance.
- 2.2L Diesel (172 HP, 400 Nm) – Ideal for torque lovers and off-road enthusiasts.
Both engines come paired with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, ensuring versatility for different driving styles.
Loaded with Premium Features
Even before these upgrades, the Scorpio N was packed with amenities, including:
✔ Dual-zone climate control – Personalized comfort for driver and passenger.
✔ Ventilated front seats – Keeps you cool on hot days.
✔ 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay – Seamless smartphone integration.
✔ 12-speaker Sony sound system – Studio-quality audio on the go.
✔ Wireless charging & rear USB-C ports – No cable clutter.
Adding ADAS and a panoramic sunroof makes it even more competitive against rivals like the Tata Safari and Hyundai Alcazar.
Safety Gets Smarter
The current Scorpio N already includes:
- Six airbags
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill Descent Control
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
With ADAS Level 2, it gains automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and lane departure alerts, making it one of the most secure SUVs under ₹25 lakh.
Will Prices Rise?
The Scorpio N currently starts at ₹13.99 lakh (ex-showroom), going up to ₹25.15 lakh for the top-end Z8 L Carbon variant. The ADAS and panoramic sunroof will likely be limited to higher trims, possibly pushing the top variant closer to ₹27 lakh.
Final Verdict: A More Sophisticated Scorpio N
The Mahindra Scorpio N has always been a favorite for its muscular design, go-anywhere capability, and rugged charm. Now, with ADAS and a panoramic sunroof, it’s evolving into a tech-savvy, safety-focused family SUV without losing its adventurous spirit.
