Mahindra Scorpio N has been an extremely successful product for the Indian SUV manufacturer. It was launched in the market a few years ago and has been doing well in terms of numbers too. However, when compared to other SUVs in this price range, the Scorpio N did miss out on a few features. It looks like Mahindra has silently updated the higher variants of the Scorpio N and is now offering more features than before.
The Z8 and Z8 L top-end variants of the Scorpio N SUV now come with a wireless phone charging pad with a cooling function. Phones that support wireless charging often tend to heat up, and with this cooling function, the phone heating issue is expected to be resolved to some extent. This feature is available in the Z8 Select, Z8, and Z8 L variants. The color of the center console of the Scorpio N is also offered in a gloss-black finish.
The other major change or feature update in the Scorpio N is the ventilated seats. The top-end Z8 L variant of the SUV now offers features like frameless auto-dimming IRVMs and ventilated seats. This feature is becoming common among SUVs and cars in India, and after the XUV700, the Scorpio N also offers this feature.
Ventilated seats are extremely useful during Indian summers, and we are thankful that Mahindra has finally decided to offer this feature with this SUV. At the moment, there is no official statement from Mahindra about the price change. However, the variants that got the feature updates are expected to see a price hike of Rs 17,000 to Rs 20,000.
