SUVs are currently all the rage in the country, and one of the most popular models is the Mahindra Scorpio-N. This full-size ladder-on-frame SUV from the country’s largest SUV manufacturer has taken the hearts of enthusiasts by storm, and people can’t get enough of it. The car has also gained significant fame on social media, with many individuals using it to gain a larger following. Some owners showcase its macho road presence, while others highlight its off-road capabilities. Recently, a few videos featuring a white Scorpio-N have gone viral on the internet, showcasing the SUV climbing stairs, which is a rare sight.

The videos have been shared on YouTube Shorts. In the first video, the white Scorpio-N can be seen ascending a set of stairs in front of closed shops, and it later reverses off the stairs. Similarly, the second video also shows the same Scorpio-N climbing stairs, but this time the video was recorded at night, and the location of the stairs is different.

These videos demonstrate that the new Mahindra Scorpio-N is a highly capable SUV that can easily tackle significant obstacles on the road. However, it should be noted that performing such acts can potentially damage the vehicle’s suspension, so it is not advisable to attempt them. Additionally, it is important to emphasize that these stunts were performed in public places, which is also something that should be avoided. Although the places seen in the videos appear isolated, engaging in such acts should be discouraged.

Regarding the Scorpio-N itself, the SUV offers two powertrain options. The first is a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that delivers a maximum power output of 198bhp and 380Nm of torque. The second option is a 2.2-litre diesel engine that generates a maximum power of 173bhp and 400Nm of torque. Both engines are available with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the SUV is equipped with a 4WD system known as Mahindra’s 4Xplor system.
