Anand Mahindra Takes Delivery Of Scorpio N SUV - Asks Netizens To Help Name It

While it is more likely that the model delivered to Anand Mahindra is most likely to be the top-spec 'Z8 L' trim, we are not sure about other details such as engine, transmission and drive layout of the SUV. Apart from that, the SUV delivered to Anand Mahindra sported the 'Red Rage' exterior colour.

Speaking about the Mahindra Scorpio N, the automaker recently commenced the deliveries of the Scorpio N SUV in India and the automaker has prioritised the deliveries of the top-spec Scorpio N 'Z8 L' variant of the SUV in the country. In addition to that, Mahindra is planning to deliver around 20,000 units of Scorpio N SUVs by the end of this year.

While 20,000 units of Scorpio N SUV may seem like a decent figure within this short time frame, in reality, as the automaker had received more than 1 lakh bookings for the Scorpio N SUVs, Mahindra needs to further speed up the production of the Scorpio N to keep the waiting period a bit lesser. At present, the waiting period for the Scorpio N SUV stretches as long as 2 years for a few variants.

Speaking about the waiting period, the booking amount for the Mahindra Scorpio N SUV in currently capped at Rs 21,000 and the prices for the Mahindra Scorpio N SUV for the first 25,000 SUVs start from Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for the base 'Z2' variant with the petrol engine and manual transmission. On the other hand, the top-spec 'Z8L' trim with a diesel engine, an automatic gearbox, and a 4WD system is priced at Rs 23.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

The new Mahindra Scorpio N SUV is available in 7 different exterior colour options - Napoli Black, Everest White, Deep Forest, Royal Gold, Red Rage, Dazzling Silver, and Grand Canyon.

Coming to the powertrain, the new Mahindra Scorpio N SUV comes with two engine options. Moreover, the diesel engine is available in two states of tune and the base diesel engine produces 130bhp of peak power and 300Nm of peak torque from its 2.2-litre turbocharged engine, whereas the higher spec model produces 172.5bhp of peak power and 400Nm of peak torque.

However, the peak torque in the top-spec diesel powertrain with the 6-speed manual transmission is limited to just 370Nm. Coming to the petrol engine option, the 2.0-litre, turbocharged petrol engine puts out a mammoth 200bhp of peak power and 370Nm of peak torque. Apart from that, the gearbox option includes both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions for both petrol and diesel engine options.
