Codenamed Z101, the new Mahindra Scorpio N is built on a new body-on-frame platform and will be equipped with modern features and the latest technology in addition to new design both externally, and internally.

The LED twin-pod projector headlights are a new addition to the Scorpio-N and so are the C-shaped LED fog lights. The hood gets strong lines accentuating its SUV stance. There's also a gentle dash of chrome at the front, as well as on the side of the door handles. The black cladding and the silver highlights add to the overall rugged appeal of the SUV, while the chrome accents on the beltline add a touch of premiumness.

The heart of the new Mahindra Scorpio-N would be powered by the same powertrain options from the Mahindra XUV700, and so it would get the new 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine and a 2.2-litre, four-cylinder, diesel engine. Expect the company to offer a slightly lower state of tune with both engine options. The transmission on the new Mahindra Scorpio-N is expected to be paired with a 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox options with the diesel and petrol, as well as a four-wheel-drive system, possibly with the top-spec variants.
