Mahindra Scorpio-N price increased by Rs. 1 lakh

After almost half a year of its launch, Mahindra has increased the prices of the Scorpio-N. The new version of the ladder-on-frame Scorpio, which has been positioned above the Scorpio Classic, is now dearer by Rs 15,000- Rs 1.01 lakh. The new prices with the hikes across the entire range of Scorpio-N are now into effect from today.

Introductory prices now ends

This increase in prices was inevitable, for the previous prices in which the Mahindra Scorpio-N was introduced were introductory. Mahindra had already indicated the increase in the prices across the entire range of Scorpio-N, which have finally come into effect in January 2023.

The Mahindra Scorpio-N was launched in Q3 2022 and instantly set the sales charts on fire, with waiting periods soaring up to 1 year. Mahindra launched the Scorpio-N with two engine options – a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine. The petrol engine produces 203 PS of power output, while its torque output is 370 Nm for manual variants and 380 Nm for automatic variants.

The majority of sales are coming from diesel-powered variants, though. The 2.2-litre diesel engine claims 132 PS of power and 300 Nm of torque in the lower-spec variants. However, in the higher-spec variants, the same engine produces 175 PS of power, with the claimed torque outputs of 370 Nm for the manual variants and 400 Nm for the automatic variants. Both the petrol and diesel engine options are available with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options, with the diesel engine also available with an optional four-wheel drive system on selected variants.
