Mahindra & Mahindra has launched the made-in-India Scorpio-N SUV in the South African market. The new generation Mahindra Scorpio-N is available in three variants - Z4, Z8 and Z8L and prices start from 465,000 Rand to 590,000 Rand (about Rs. 21.95 lakh to ₹27.82 lakh). The new Scorpio-N will be sold alongside the older generation Scorpio in South Africa, much like in India.
The Mahindra Scorpio-N for South Africa is available only with the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine which develops 172 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with only a 6-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged petrol engine and the manual transmission are not on sale in the market. The Scorpio-N gets rear-wheel drive as standard on the SUV, while 4x4 is available as an option. Mahindra is also offering only the seven-seater version of the model.
