Mahindra Scorpio-N Adventure (2024) Price & Specs

Mahindra has finally released official images of its Scorpio-N Adventure special edition. Here’s how much this off-road-ready 7-seater SUV costs in South Africa…

While we’ve known about Mahindra South Africa’s Scorpio-N Adventure special edition – as well as its sticker price – for several months, the Indian automaker’s local division has only now released official images of this off-road-ready derivative.

Pictured on Mahindra’s stand at NAMPO 2024 in Bothaville, the Adventure-badged model is positioned at the very top of the 5-strong Scorpio-N range, priced at R644 499, making it the brand’s most expensive vehicle. That’s despite it seemingly being based on the Z8 4×4 derivative (R573 199) rather than the top-spec Z8L 4×4 variant (R608 199).

So, what sets the Adventure – a nameplate used for a similar limited-edition variant added to the previous-generation Scorpio line-up in 2021 – apart from the standard model? Well, in its marketing material, Mahindra describes the special-edition variant as being “designed for those who seek the ultimate off-road experience”.

It thus adopts what the brand calls “made-for-purpose” steel off-roading bumpers, all-terrain tyres, hiked suspension and underbody protection. In addition, the Scorpio-N Adventure gains a roof rack manufactured from machined steel and finished in black powder-coating, as well as black-plastic fender extensions.

The steel front bumper incorporates foglamps.

The black steel bumper up front has integrated recovery points (plus foglamps, though now sans daytime running lights), as does the rear item. Round back, a tow bar is included as standard. From what we understand, the Adventure’s alloy wheels are wrapped in 265/60 R18 all-terrain tyres (as opposed to the narrower, road-biased 245 and 255 rubber used by other derivatives).

However, Mahindra has yet to release the new 4×4 model’s seemingly improved approach, breakover and departure angles, nor its exact ground clearance. Furthermore, some marketing material shows the Adventure wearing dual-tone alloys, while the model displayed at NAMPO sports black wheels (along with bumper-mounted spotlamps).

This marketing image shows the Adventure on standard Scorpio-N wheels.

As with all other derivatives in the Scorpio-N portfolio, the Adventure model employs Mahindra’s 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel “mHawk” engine. Here it drives all 4 wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard. Peak power is listed as an unchanged 128 kW, while maximum torque again comes in at 400 Nm (the latter on tap from 1 750 r/min).
