Mahindra Scorpio N Z8 Select – What All It Offers?
For beginners, the new Scorpio N Z8 Select variant exclusively comes with the XUV700’s Midnight Black body shade, which sweetens the formidable appeal of the SUV. Besides that, it borrows many design elements from the higher-end variants, ensuring the presence of LED headlamps, taillamps, and 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
Inside, it continues to feature the same black-and-brown cabin theme as the Z8 L variant with leather upholstery. It is only available in a 7-seater configuration.
Regarding features, the Z8 Select comes packed with necessities like an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, connected car tech, built-in Alexa support, an electric sunroof, six airbags, ESC and all-disc brakes.
Compared to the range-topping trims, it misses out on the push-button start, dual-zone climate control, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, 12-speaker SONY sound system, power foldable side mirrors, powered driver’s seat, and driver drowsiness detection.
