Best Scorpio-N variant – Specifications
In terms of powertrain options, the Z8 is offered in a total of six combinations. You get the 2.0-litre mStallion engine that is capable of making 200bhp & 370Nm of torque. You can opt for a six-speed manual or an automatic torque converter gearbox. However, you don’t get an option of 4×4 with the petrol mill.
Moving ahead to the diesel engine, you get the 2.2-litre mHaWk engine with a higher state of tune. The engine is capable of making 172bhp & 370Nm of torque.

Should you buy it?
Mahindra Scorpio Z8 starts at a price of Rs 20.35 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for the petrol manual variant and Rs 22.65 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for petrol automatic variant. The prices for diesel start at Rs 21.29 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) and go to Rs 26.77 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for the 4×4 automatic variant. The Z8 offers a great overall package of all the nifty features and tech that is available in the top variant.
