Mahindra has finally launched the 2022 Scorpio N at a price of Rs 11.99 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. It is made available in both petrol and diesel engine options. What's interesting is that the Indian carmaker is offering 4WD too as an option, however, that is limited to the diesel trim only.
Mechanically, the Scorpio N is powered by the same 2.0L Stallion petrol motor and 2.2L diesel motor that is available in Thar and XUV700. In the petrol mode, it generates 200 bhp on tap with a peak torque of 370 Nm. This motor is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard and a six-speed torque converter automatic as an option. Also, in petrol auto, the peak torque sticks to 380 Nm.
The oil burner will be made available in two tunes - the lower trims producing 130 bhp/300 Nm and higher variants generating 173 bhp/370 Nm (MT), and 400Nm (AT). Like the petrol, the diesel engine too gets a 6-speed manual transmission as standard and a six-speed torque converter as an option. The RWD set-up is offered as standard on this one but customers can pick the optional 4WD too.

Interestingly, the 4WD configuration will be made available right from the Z4 trim which is second to the base variant. Both Z4 and Z6 get 4WD as an option but only with a manual transmission. Sadly, Mahindra isn't offering 4x4 with the petrol motor. The carmaker is also offering three drive modes with the Scorpio - Zip, Zap and Zoom.
Mahindra Scorpio is offered in five trims - Z2, Z4, Z6, Z8 and Z8L. Both the Z8 and Z8L will be available in 6 and 7-seater options to the customer while the rest gets 7-seat as standard only. The captain seats really are a nice touch as even the premium offering, XUV700 does not get it.
