Mahindra & Mahindra is expanding the Scorpio N lineup once again, this time with a new premium variant aimed at tech-savvy buyers. Called the Z8T, this upcoming variant builds on the popular Z8 trim and introduces a set of advanced driver assistance systems, electronic parking brake, and more comfort-focused tech to the mix. With this, the Scorpio N continues to evolve as a feature-rich SUV that caters to a wide range of preferences and budgets.
Lineup
The Scorpio N will now be available in three distinct ranges, each catering to a different type of buyer. Here’s how the updated lineup looks:
| Range | Variants |
|---|---|
| Entry-level | Z2, Z4 |
| Mid-range | Z6 |
| Premium | Z8S, Z8, Z8T, Z8L |
Each of these trims will continue to offer a wide choice of powertrains and drivetrains including:
- Petrol and diesel engine options
- Manual and automatic gearboxes
- Six-seater and seven-seater layouts
- Two-wheel-drive (2WD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) versions
So whatever your driving needs or preferences are, Mahindra wants to make sure there’s a Scorpio N for you.
Features
The Z8T variant is essentially a Z8 with more convenience and tech. It inherits all the Z8 features and adds two key updates:
- Electronic parking brake
- Auto-hold function
These additions make city driving and stop-and-go traffic situations easier to manage. The Z8T is a clear step up for buyers who want that extra layer of tech and comfort without going all the way to the top-spec Z8L.
Z8L Variant
Speaking of the Z8L, this flagship trim takes things a notch higher by introducing Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While the Z8T focuses on convenience, the Z8L is built to impress those who want the latest in safety and automation.
Here are the 10 new ADAS features coming to the Scorpio N in its 2025 version:
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) – covers vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go (AT only)
- Smart Pilot Assist (SPA) (AT only)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
- Speed Limit Assist (SLA) (AT only)
- High Beam Assist (HBA)
- Front Vehicle Start Alert (FVSA) (AT only)
It’s worth noting that some features are limited to the automatic variants, which is expected considering the level of system integration required.
Premium Experience
With these updates, Mahindra is clearly targeting buyers looking for more than just power and road presence. The Z8T and Z8L variants are about offering a more complete, tech-driven ownership experience.
Whether it’s safety, driver aids, or everyday convenience, these new trims expand the Scorpio N’s appeal in the premium SUV segment. And while official pricing hasn’t been confirmed, expect a slight premium over the existing Z8 variant for the Z8T, and a notable jump for the fully loaded Z8L.
