In order to keep up with the market needs, Mahindra has upgraded the Scorpio N SUV with three new features, improving comfort and driving experience. The new additions include ventilated front seats, a wireless smartphone charger with a cooling pad, and an electrochromic IRVM. The brand has also introduced a high gloss black finish on the centre console.
It is worth noting that these new features are being offered with the higher-spec Z8 variants only. Having said that, the Scorpio N Z8 Select and Z8 only receive the wireless charger and high sheen finish on the centre console, while the top-spec Z8L also gains auto-dimming IRVM and front seat ventilation function.
