Talking about the overall design of the new Scorpio-N, it is very different from the earlier generations. At the front, it gets a vertically slatted grille with chrome and a muscular bonnet with strong character lines. The hood scoop is no longer there and it also gets new twin-pod projector LED headlights and the C-shaped LED DRL units shaped like a scorpion’s sting.
The interior gets a coffee brown and black theme that's constant across the cabin which looks good and unique. It houses vertically-oriented air-con vents and the eight-inch infotainment system with AdrenoX connected car tech with built-in Alexa that uses a Snapdragon SD6 processor for 70+ connected car features. It also gets a 12-speaker Sony system with 3D immersive audio.

The 4x4 drivetrain features a low-range gearbox and mechanically locking differential. Moreover, the Scorpio-N will get frequency selective dampers similar to the XUV700. Penta Link Rear suspension with first in segment WATT’s Linkage will give the Scorpio-N better handling.
Talking about the dimensions, the Scorpio-N measures 4,662 mm in length, 1,917 mm in width, and 1,857 mm in height. The wheelbase has now gone up by 70 mm to 2,750 mm.

The Scorpio-N is offered with two engine options and two transmission choices. There is the 2.2-litre mHawk turbo diesel engine which offers two separate states of tune depending on the variant. The base variant Z2 produces 130 bhp of power and 300 Nm of torque, while in the Z4 and upper variants the diesel motor puts out 172 bhp with 400 Nm of torque.
