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 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).
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).
