He was looking for an SUV with features and Scorpio N was ticking all the check boxes. He mentions in the video that he personally liked the type 2 Toyota Fortuner and the current generation Fortuner was looking premium than rugged. Scorpio N on the other hand was looking way more imposing and muscular although not as much as the Scorpio Classic. It was offering more features that too at a very competitive price. The owner likes to do off-roading and that is why he went with the 4×4 version. The owner mentioned that he wanted to buy the Black colour but his father wanted to go with the Everest white shade. He had booked the Scorpio N online when the bookings had started and got the SUV at introductory prices.

The top-end Scorpio N z8 L 4×4 version of Scorpio N had cost him Rs 28.28 lakh on-road. Owner found that Scorpio N was offering more in terms of features when compared to a Toyota Fortuner Legender. He also felt that the Legender or Fortuner is overpriced and Scorpio N is currently a value for money product. Even if the Fortuner was priced at Rs 35 lakh, ex-showroom, he would have still opted for Scorpio N for the features and premium looks. The owner felt that the interiors on Fortuner look dated. He is now planning to take the Scorpio N to extreme off-roading sessions to test its capabilities.

Mahindra Scorpio N is available with both petrol and diesel engine options. It should be noted that 4×4 option is only available with diesel engine. The petrol version of the SUV is powered by a 2.0 litre turbocharged mStallion engine and the diesel version uses a 2.2 litre mHawk turbocharged engine. Both petrol and diesel engine options are available with manual and automatic transmission. Price for Mahindra Scorpio N starts at Rs 11.99 lakh, ex-showroom. The manufacturer is most likely to increase the price for the SUV next year.
