Scorpio-N Level 2 ADAS

The top-of-the-line Z8L variant of the Scorpio-N now comes equipped with Level 2 ADAS - offering features typically seen in more expensive SUVs. These systems aren't just bells and whistles: they enhance driver awareness, reduce fatigue, and add an extra layer of safety.
The suite includes essentials like Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking, which detect obstacles and apply brakes automatically in emergencies. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go allows the vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the car ahead, even in slow-moving traffic. You also get Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist, ensuring the vehicle stays in its lane and alerts the driver if it drifts.
Other intelligent features include Traffic Sign Recognition (which reads road signs and alerts the driver), High Beam Assist, and Smart Pilot Assist for semi-autonomous highway driving.
Segment-first ADAS Features

In a first for any Mahindra internal combustion engine (ICE) SUV, the Scorpio-N also introduces Speed Limit Assist - which warns the driver of road-specific speed limits and lets you match them effortlessly while using cruise control. Another standout feature is Front Vehicle Start Alert, which notifies the driver when the vehicle ahead begins to move, using sound, visuals, and haptic cues - ideal for dense city traffic.
These additions reinforce the Scorpio-N's status as one of the safest SUVs in India, backed by its 5-star Global NCAP crash test rating.
Z8T Variant: Premium Features, Smarter Pricing

Filling the gap between the Z8 and Z8L trims, the new Z8T variant has been launched as a feature-rich and value-packed option for those seeking luxury without stretching the budget too far.
It comes with an attractive set of premium features:
- 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels
- Sony 12-speaker sound system
- Front camera with parking sensors
- Ventilated front seats
- Electronic parking brake (EPB)
- 6-way powered driver seat
- Auto-dimming inside rear-view mirror (IRVM)
