Scorpio N becomes the third Mahindra in her garage
Since the manufacturer started its deliveries in November, we’ve seen the new Mahindra Scorpio N reach many popular garages across the country. Most recently, bold/boudoir model and activist Resmi R Nair, has taken home a top-spec Scorpio-N 4×4 in Black. The SUV comes as a gift from her husband, on their 16th anniversary. It also stands notable for being the third Mahindra in their garage.
The couple has bought the Z8L 4WD Diesel Automatic variant in Napoli Black shade, which had an introductory price of Rs 23. 90 lakh, ex-showroom back in the day! Remember the 25,000 units bearing these prices getting sold out in just under 1 minute? Well, this is one of them! The couple took delivery of their SUV from Pothens Mahindra, Kollam, with OTR prices touching Rs 30.75 lakh.
Resmi Nair is quite popular among subscription-based art/boudoir content consumers, as a promising model and streamer. The 34-year-old has a strong presence on various Indian and global content platforms, streaming/ fan apps and on mainstream social media platforms. She is also one of the most prominent women’s rights activists in Kerala and co-founder and spokesperson of the ‘Kiss of Love’ movement that had once created much social buzz. Resmi is as much known for her passion for travelling and road trips as she is for her work. This is just where the new Scorpio N could comfortably fit in as the ‘Look no more, I got this!’ buy.

The Scorpio N is the third Mahindra to join this garage. The couple already has two Mahindra XUV 500s- a top-of-the-line variant of the MY 2019 car and an older mid-spec, and the former was previously used for multiple road trips across India. (Resmi also owns a previous-gen BMW 320d) With the Scorpio N entering the party, road trips are now going to be even more engaging and equally comforting. The 4×4 variant could offer a huge upper hand here, with its advanced 4XPLOR terrain modes and capable 4-wheel drive system.

New Mahindra Scorpio N: A Quick Look At It
Mahindra Scorpio N (proto codenamed Z101) is an absolute departure from the Scorpio that we’d seen previously, in terms of the way it looks, drives and rides. Major improvements have been brought about on the platform and the powertrains. Scorpio N comes with the choice of two engine options- 2.2 L mHawk diesel and 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol. Manual and automatic transmissions are offered as well. The engines are both carried over from the XUV 700, but retuned to better suit the new Scorpio’s overall character. Available variants include Z2, Z4, Z6, Z8 and Z8L. 4WD system is offered just on the Z8L diesel trim.
Overall cabin experience has also improved tremendously. The living space is now more roomy, practical, feature-packed and convenient. Adrenox-powered infotainment system, sunroof, voice commands, wireless charger, rear AC vents, dual-zone climate control, selectable driving modes, Sony premium audio etc are available. Safety is another good thing about this SUV. Recently, Scorpio N secured a jaw-dropping 5-star safety rating in Global NCAP crash tests.
Mahindra killed it with the prices. Though introductory and limited to the initial batch of 25,000 units, the prices for the manual, automatic and AWD variants delivered VFM proportions that one would have a hard time believing, especially considering this to be a D-segment SUV!
