Mahindra & Mahindra today announced the launch of the Scorpio‑N Z8T ADAS variant, marking the first time the model offers Advanced Driver‑Assistance Systems (ADAS). Priced at ₹21.35 lakh (ex-showroom), the Z8T sits above the existing Z8 trim but below the flagship Z8L, providing a balanced mix of premium features and cutting‑edge safety tech.
Key ADAS Features in Z8T:
-
Lane Keep Assist (LKA) to help maintain the vehicle’s position
-
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) for automatic speed adjustment
-
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
-
Blind‑Spot Detection (BSD) with lane‑change assist
-
Driver Drowsiness Alert for enhanced on‑road vigilance
These systems leverage a combination of radar and camera sensors, bringing Level 1 autonomy to the Scorpio‑N—a segment first for Mahindra’s midsize SUV.
Design & Comfort Upgrades:
Beyond ADAS, the Z8T variant retains Scorpio‑N’s signature rugged styling and premium cabin:
-
LED matrix headlights and DRLs
-
18‑inch alloy wheels with renewed dual‑tone finish
-
Leatherette seats with adjustable driver’s memory function
-
10.25‑inch touchscreen infotainment with connected‑car features
-
Panoramic sunroof, 360‑degree camera, and four‑zone climate control
Powertrain & Performance:
The Scorpio‑N Z8T continues to be powered by Mahindra’s 2.0 L mStallion petrol engine (200 PS/380 Nm) or the 2.2 L mHawk diesel unit (132 PS/300 Nm), both paired with a 6‑speed manual or automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between rear‑wheel drive or 4×4 configurations, depending on their preference for capability and efficiency.
Why Z8T Makes Sense:
-
Enhanced safety: ADAS reduces driver fatigue and accident risk
-
Competitive pricing: Undercuts some international rivals offering similar tech
-
Feature-rich: Balances luxury and practicality without jumping to top‑end trim
-
Segment leadership: First midsize SUV in India to bundle ADAS at this price point
Mahindra expects the Z8T to attract urban families and tech‑savvy buyers who value both flagship safety features and off‑road readiness.
