Mahindra has raised the cost of its famous SUV—the Scorpio-N—in India. The price hike ranges from Rs 600 to Rs 39,300, depending on the variant.

Mahindra Scorpio-N: Mechanical and Other Key Details
The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and the 2.2-litre diesel engine are the two powertrain options offered by the Mahindra for the Scorpio-N. In the entry-level versions, the diesel engine produces 300Nm and 130bhp. It can, however, produce up to 173bhp and 300–400Nm in the higher-spec variants. Meanwhile, the 2-litre turbo-petrol motor generates 197bhp and 370Nm/380 Nm of performance figures. The standard gearbox is a 6-speed manual, but some of the more powerful diesel and turbo-petrol units are also available with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Although the SUV comes standard with rear-wheel drive (RWD), the 173bhp diesel model is available with a four-wheel drive (4WD) option.
The SUV has five core variants: Z2, Z4, Z6, Z8, and Z8L, and is available in two six-seater and seven-seater configurations. An 8-inch touchscreen, cruise control, an electric sunroof, a 12-speaker Sony 3D surround sound system, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, ESC, hill-hold assist, and a 360-degree camera are among some features of the SUV.
A few new Mahindra vehicles will likely make their way to India this year. Here are some of the upcoming Mahindra cars in India:
Mahindra Thar 5-Door
The five-door Mahindra Thar is scheduled to go on sale this year. It will be available with the same powertrain options as its three-door predecessor, including a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine. However, market reports suggest that Mahindra may adjust or upgrade these engines to boost output. The SUV will most likely be available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. Modifications like a 10-inch touchscreen, a refreshed armrest, a reworked steering wheel, and speakers mounted on the roof are expected to be included.
Mahindra XUV.e8
This year, the Mahindra XUV.e8, the brand's brand-new electric SUV, will also make its way to the Indian market. It will have the company's INGLO platform, which can deliver up to 175kW of fast charging. Although the exact specifications remain unknown, the car is said to have a wheelbase of 2,762mm and a length of around 4,740mm. More specific details about the car will likely be disclosed closer to its launch.
