Mahindra Scorpio N Teased With ADAS, Expected To Launch Soon
Reportedly, the Mahindra Scorpio N could be updated with a panoramic sunroof as well
Mahindra has dropped a teaser of an upcoming feature for the Mahindra Scorpio N, which we believe is the addition of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Reportedly, the Scorpio N could also come with a panoramic sunroof as part of this update. These two new features could be limited to the higher variants of the SUV. Let’s take a look at what is shown in the teaser:
What Is Seen In The Teaser?
The teaser is a very short video clip showing an empty highway with the lane lines highlighting themselves. Adding the tagline to it, ‘Power Always Stays On Course’, it's clear that the new upcoming feature is nothing but an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
While we still have to wait for the official release to know the exact features, the Scorpio N will likely be equipped with a full suite of level-2 ADAS features borrowed from its stablemate, the XUV700 and Thar Roxx. This will involve features such as lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning and more.
Other Features
Besides a panoramic sunroof likely replacing the existing single-pane unit, the updated Scorpio N will continue with its other features such as analogue dials with a 7-inch multi-info display, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 6-way power adjustable driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, dual zone auto AC, push button start/stop and a 12-speaker Sony sound system.
In terms of safety, along with the new ADAS suite, the updated SUV will carry on with existing features such as 6 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), front and rear parking sensors, driver’s drowsiness detection, hill hold and hill descent control, all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
