What’s New in the 2025 Mahindra Scorpio-N?
Mahindra has given its best-selling SUV a serious tech upgrade. Here’s everything that’s new this year:
🔸 Level-2 ADAS Technology

- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Lane Departure Warning & Lane Keep Assist
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Front Vehicle Start Alert
This makes the 2025 Scorpio-N not only one of the safest SUVs in India but also the first Mahindra ladder-frame SUV to feature such advanced driver aids.
New Z8T Variant – The Balanced Performer
To bridge the gap between luxury and value, Mahindra has introduced a brand-new Z8T variant.
This trim sits neatly between the Z8 and Z8L, offering a perfect blend of tech and comfort.
Key highlights of the new Z8T:
- 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels
- Ventilated front seats
- Six-way powered driver seat

This variant is designed for those who want a premium experience without the top-spec price tag.

Why the 2025 Scorpio-N Is a Game-Changer

A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- ADAS and advanced features are exclusive to top trims.
