Mahindra Scorpio N completes 3 years: Why it remains a top SUV pick in India
The Mahindra Scorpio-N now gets Level 2 ADAS with 10 safety features on its top-spec Z8L variant. It's been three years since the Mahindra Scorpio N stormed into the Indian SUV market, and it hasn't slowed down since. Launched in June 2022 as the successor to the original Scorpio, the SUV arrived at a time when Indian buyers were increasingly seeking rugged, feature-packed, yet relatively affordable utility vehicles.
