The SUV is one of the most popular models on sale currently and still commands a high waiting period

Mahindra Scorpio N

Mahindra Scorpio N has completed its first anniversary in India, today (on June 27). The SUV carries on the much revered ‘Scorpio’ nameplate in a completely new avatar, signified by the ‘N’ suffix. It’s a brand new model from scratch but carries the genes of its nameplate - a tall SUV with rough and tough credentials and the ability to dominate the roads with its performance and presence. 

Here’s a recap of the Scorpio N’s year in India:

Strong Safety Score! 

Mahindra Scorpio N Global NCAP

In December 2022, Mahindra Scorpio N received a full 5-star safety rating in the global NCAP crash tests. The SUV received five stars for adult occupants’ protection and three stars for child occupants’ protection. The footwell area and bodyshell was rated stable and capable of withstanding further loadings. Since the Scorpio N was tested as per the updated crash test protocols, it also passed the side barrier impact, side pole impact, and ESC tests. 

No Feature Upgrades

Mahindra Scorpio N

Given how well-equipped it is, there is no surprise that the Scorpio N has received no feature upgrade. It continues with an electric sunroof, an 8-inch touchscreen system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Sony sound system, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charger, and 6-way powered driver’s seat. 

Safety is covered by front and rear cameras, up to six airbags, hill-assist control, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ESC (electronic stability control). 

Waiting Period

Mahindra Scorpio N

The Mahindra Scorpio N still commands a waiting time of up to a year in several cities. The SUV maker has confirmed that it will soon increase its production capacity over the coming months, which will subsequently reduce its waiting period. However, on an average, a Scorpio N buyer will have to wait around six months or more. 

Minor Recall

Mahindra Scorpio N

In November 2022, Mahindra recalled certain batches of the Scorpio N and XUV700. The reason was due to a suspected defective rubber bellow inside the clutch bell housing of the manual variants. This would have resulted in performance concerns. Around 6,618 units of the Scorpio N were suspected of the flaw, which Mahindra replaced free of cost. 

Faux Controversy

Mahindra Scorpio N Waterfall

There was a video which went viral, showing a Scorpio N owner parking his SUV under a waterfall. The video showed that the water was leaking through the sunroof, which raised several questions about the fit and finish. 

Future Changes

Mahindra Scorpio N

The Scorpio N is still a relatively newer model and is unlikely to get any upgrades anytime soon. However, when it is upgraded, we can expect the inclusion of radar-based ADAS technology. It might be updated to offer six airbags as standard when the new mandate comes into effect later this year. In terms of pricing as well, we expect the Scorpio N to get dearer come 2024.
