Mahindra Scorpio-N CARBON Review: Mahindra has once again made its mark in the SUV segment with the launch of the Scorpio-N Carbon Edition. Known for its robustness, power and off-road capabilities, the Scorpio-N now gets an aggressive all-black Carbon Edition that further enhances its appeal. But does it live up to expectations? Let’s find out.
Design and Exterior
The Scorpio-N Carbon features a bold and muscular design, enhanced with a matte black finish that gives it a stunning and premium look. Black alloy wheels, dark chrome grille and smoked-out LED headlamps further enhance its aggressive stance. The ‘Carbon’ badging on the side panels and tailgate differentiates it from the standard Scorpio-N model.
Interior and Features
Stepping inside, the all-black interior theme with carbon fibre inserts immediately grabs attention. The premium leatherette upholstery, soft-touch dashboard and ambient lighting give a luxurious and sporty feel. The infotainment system remains the same, with a 10-inch touchscreen, AdrenoX connected car technology and premium 3D Sony sound system. Features like dual-zone climate control, wireless charging and ventilated seats enhance comfort.
Performance and Engine
Under the hood, the Scorpio-N Carbon gets the powerful 2.2L mHawk diesel engine and the 2.0L mStallion turbo petrol engine, which offer impressive performance. The 187 bhp diesel and 200 bhp petrol variants offer strong acceleration and effortless highway cruising. The 6-speed manual and automatic gearbox options, along with 4X4 capabilities, make it a beast on and off road.
Ride and Handling
The Scorpio-N has always been known for its strong suspension and high ground clearance. The Carbon version continues to offer excellent stability, comfortable ride quality and better handling in rough terrains. The 4XPLOR terrain management system makes it even more capable in extreme conditions.
Safety Features
Mahindra has equipped the Scorpio-N Carbon with advanced safety features including 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Hold Assist and a 360-degree camera. The high-strength body structure enhances its crash safety, making it one of the safest SUVs in its class.
Verdict: Is it worth it?
The Mahindra Scorpio-N Carbon is the perfect choice for those who want a strong, powerful and stylish SUV with a premium touch. Its bold looks, strong performance and advanced features make it an attractive package. However, its premium price and slightly harsh ride quality may not appeal to all buyers. If you love adventure and want an attractive SUV with unmatched road presence, the Scorpio-N Carbon is definitely worth considering.
