Rohit Shetty ji, is gaadi ko udaane ke liye aap ko ek nuclear bomb ki aavashyakata hogi… #BigDaddyOfSUVs #MahindraScorpioN https://t.co/wfmVihUvoE — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) May 21, 2022

He tweeted, “Rohit Shetty ji, is gaadi ko udaane ke liye aap ko ek nuclear bomb ki aavashyakata hogi.” While Anand Mahindra has not been very clear about the crash test rating that the new Scorpio-N has received, he has cleverly given a hint at the car’s build quality. Also, in another teaser of the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio-N, the automaker is quoting, “The New Mahindra SUV Makes Even Crash Dummy Feel Safe.”

All of these statements hint at a 5-star crash test rating for the new-gen iteration of the SUV. The Scorpio-N is supposed to come loaded with a slew of safety features. The list is likely to include multiple airbags, 360-camera, traction control, electronic stability program, reverse parking sensors and more. If at all Mahindra decides to go the XUV700 way, the new Scorpio-N will further feature ADAS tech.

Talking of specifications, the vehicle will supposedly be hitting the market with two engine choices - a 2.0-lite mStallion turbo-petrol motor and a 2.2-litre mHawk turbocharged diesel engine. Buyers will have the option to settle down with either a 6-speed stick shift or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. In the new rendition, the SUV will continue to boast great offroading credentials with the optional 4x4 drivetrain, comprising a low-ratio gearbox, transfer case, and a locking rear differential.
