Watch the all-new Mahindra Scorpio-N getting built at the factory [Video]

Mahindra Scorpio-N is definitely gaining a lot of popularity in the Indian market. The new SUV remains sold out for the next few months. While Mahindra is yet to deliver the first Scorpio-N in the Indian market, the brand is building a lot of units so that the deliveries can start in the coming few weeks. Here is a video that shows how the Mahindra Scorpio-N is manufactured.

The Mahindra Scorpio-N is based on a ladder frame. The process starts by making the body panels from sheets of metal. The metal is stamped using hydraulic robotic arms to give the desired shape. All the panels are then welded together using robots to form the body of the vehicle.

The body is then dipped in primer or the base layer of the paint to ensure that there is no rusting on the body in the future. Then it is sent to the automatic painting booth. The paint on the body is done completely by the robots and there is no human intervention here. The use of robots ensures consistent paint quality.

The body then reaches the assembly line where workers put in all the upholstery and add the infotainment system, wiring, steering, seats and other such parts. The body is then fixed on the ladder frame of the car. The engine remains attached to the chassis and the body is aligned perfectly to merge them together.

The final touches include the addition of the logos to the car. While it is not shown in the video, all the cars also go through a quality check to ensure consistent quality.
