The long awaited Mahindra Scorpio N 2025 has finally been introduced and it brings a new level of excitement among SUV enthusiasts in India. With its bold yet sophisticated styling, state-of-the art features, powerful performance coupled with unmatched technology, the new Scorpio N is here to set new benchmarks for what a modern Indian SUV should be.
The new Mahindra Thar is a new product inspired by the Thar of old and is contemporary but retains connects to the original design of the legend. Fan of off-roading, highway cruising or just fancy a dominating road presence, the Scorpio N 2025 seems prepared to satisfy all kinds of cravings.
Not only has Mahindra improved the aesthetics on the outside, they have also worked hard to bring the interiors up to the levels modern customers are coming to expect. The result: a perfect marriage of strength and elegance. Let’s dive into all that’s new with this beast from design tweaks to engine performance and pricing.
Tough Looks and Fashionable Design
The 2025 Mahindra Scorpio N is bigger, bolder and looks more aggressive than ever before. Its intimidating presence is accentuated by the characteristic front grille in gloss black with chrome highlights, that comes flanking next to the surprisingly sleek LED headlamps equipped with dynamic turn indicators. The bumper looks more carved and the side integrated LED fog lamps contributes to the sporty look.
The men are now filling up extra-large pitchers of sweet tea with crushed ice washed in and, the SUV is also good fare on 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels that not only give it road presence but- as has been known to happen in the real world- offer a well-damped drive through all terrains.
The squared wheel arches, strong character lines and chrome door handles add to its upmarket feel. To the rear, the Scorpio N gets a roof mounted spoiler, an integrated rear wiper and LED tail lamps, giving the new Scorpio N a completely contemporary appearance, while still maintaining its brawny genetics.
Premium Cabin with Smart Features
Get inside the 2025 Scorpio N and you are immediately hit by the premium lift Mahindra has achieved. Cabin has a more luxurious feel, with the dual-tone dashboard, the soft-touch materials, the leatherette upholstery (top trims). The cabin is simple but attractive, with plenty of stowage areas, a perched driving position and large, well-padded seats that are very comfortable on long drives.
I the middle of the dashboard is a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system that can pair wirelessly to both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A half-digital instrument cluster provides various information such as navigation, fuel economy and tyre pressure monitoring.
The new Scorpio N also comes equipped with connected car technology through Mahindra’s AdrenoX platform that enables features such as remote locking, geo-fencing, tracking of the vehicle and even voice command features in regional languages.
Power-Packed Performance Under the Hood
Mahindra still provides the Scorpio N 2025 with its old-school powerplants. Customers have the option to go with either a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine and a 2.0-litre mStallion turbo-petrol engine. The petrol version develops around 200 PS and 380 Nm of peak torque, and the oil version offers two levels of tuning- 130 PS for lower trims and up to 175 PS for higher trims.
6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic are the transmission choices for both engines. 4XPLOR intelligent 4WD system makes its way into the higher models enabling off-roading enthusiasts to conquer any terrain. Metro streets or mountain trails you will be better prepared for those moments where you need to be doing what you love.
New & improved soft-ride suspension for both comfort and stability. The stout body-on-frame platform also makes the Safari Storme ideal for Indian roads and tough terrain. It feels fun, but also like it’s hardly breaking a sweat, as both controls are well-judged unit.
High Safety and Advanced Driver Assistance
In terms of safety, Mahindra has raised standards on the 2025 Scorpio N as the SUV gets 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Hold Assist, and Hill Descent Control on the higher trims. The car is based on a high-strength steel structure and complies with the new regulations for safety.
The key talking point, however, has to be the fact that the top-of-the-line trim also gets ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features. Those include lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. This is a big step for Mahindra in democratizing high-end safety tech.
Fuel Economy and Driving Modes
Given its size and power, the Scorpio N also has reasonably good fuel economy. Diesel manual version does around 18-19 kmpl while the petrol version can offer close to 14-15 kmpl in mixed driving conditions.
Mahindra has also included multiple drive modes (Zip, Zap, Zoom) in some of the versions, which drivers can use to tailor performance to the road conditions and the way they are driving.
These make changes to throttle responses, steering weight and if optioned, automatic gearshifts, to give a sportier or thriftier driving experience depending on preference. This gives the SUV flexibility whether you’re in the city or out on the highway with it.
Pricing of Mahindra Scorpio N 2025
The Mahindra Scorpio N 2025 is offered in several different options, for those that have a limited budget and those who demand luxury features. The base petrol is priced at roughly ₹13.50 lakh (Ex-Showroom); the top-end diesel automatic 4WD is priced at ₹24 lakh (ex-showroom).
Taking into account the features on offer, design upgrades and tech we think the pricing does come across as competitive especially when rivals like the Tata Safari, Hyundai Alcazar and MG Hector Plus are factored in. The Scorpio N is effectively priced to be a value-for-money stand on the mid-size SUV segment.
Conclusion
It is the Mahindra Scorpio N 2025, with a clear inspired designing of this iconic SUV. It retains the rough-and-ready appeal, and all of the off-road capability, but now there’s a good dose of sophistication, technology and comfort too. With its fascinating design, strong powertrains, feature-rich cabin, and updated safety suite, it is the perfect vehicle for city business people and adventure-seekers.
Mahindra has upped the game in this segment, what with introducing ADAS features and connected car tech. The 2025 Scorpio N feels high-end, looks high-end, and offers a driving experience that demands the centralizing position that a leading-edge SUV should enjoy.
If you’re in the market for a sporty fashionable capable and modern SUV with feet-on-ground practicality and off-road muscle, the new Scorpio N is definitely worth a consideration.
