If you’ve been waiting for a more budget-friendly automatic SUV, Mahindra has some great news for you. The Scorpio N, one of India’s most popular SUVs, is now available with an automatic gearbox starting from the Z4 trim, making it more accessible to buyers looking for convenience without breaking the bank. Earlier, if you wanted the automatic variant, you had to go for the higher Z6 or Z8 trims, which were more expensive.
With the new Z4 automatic variant, Mahindra has brought the starting price of the Scorpio N AT down to ₹17.39 lakh for the petrol and ₹17.86 lakh for the diesel (ex-showroom). That’s a significant drop compared to the previous automatic entry points – the Z6 diesel AT at ₹18.91 lakh and the Z8 Select petrol AT at ₹19.06 lakh. So, in simple terms, the Z4 automatic models are now ₹1.05 lakh to ₹1.67 lakh cheaper!
Scorpio N Z4: Engine and Gearbox Options
The Z4 automatic trim comes with two powerful engine options:
-
2.0-litre mStallion Turbo-Petrol:
-
Power: 203hp
