The teaser, shared across the brand’s social media platforms, shows illuminated lane markings with the tagline “Power always stays on course”, clearly hinting at lane keep assist functionality.
This marks a significant tech upgrade for the rugged SUV, aligning it with Mahindra’s more premium offerings like the XUV700 and Thar Roxx, which already feature ADAS capabilities.

While the full list is yet to be revealed, the Scorpio N is likely to receive:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane keep assist and lane departure warning

These additions will complement the existing feature set, which includes an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Sony 12-speaker audio, dual-zone climate control, and 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat.
No Changes Under the Hood
Mechanically, the Scorpio N will remain unchanged. It will continue to offer:
- 2.0L turbo-petrol engine (203 PS, up to 380 Nm)
- 2.2L diesel engine (up to 175 PS, 400 Nm)
