The Mahindra Scorpio N range has been expanded with the addition of an automatic transmission variant of the Z4 version. This new variant fills the gap between the base manual versions and the higher-spec automatic models. It gives a cost-effective alternative for customers who desire the convenience of an automatic transmission without moving into the range-topping segment. Here’s what it gets.
Mahindra Scorpio N Z4 AT: Price
The new Scorpio N Z4 AT is priced at ₹17.39 lakh for the petrol version and ₹17.86 lakh for the diesel, both ex-showroom. These figures make it a more affordable automatic option compared to the previously available Z6 Diesel AT, which costs ₹18.91 lakh, and the Z8 Select Petrol AT, priced at ₹19.06 lakh.

Mahindra Scorpio N Z4 AT: Features
The feature list in the Z4 AT variant includes essentials and a few modern conveniences. It comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The SUV features cruise control, a rear passenger USB-C port, and a monochrome instrument cluster display.
The driver gets very much of the same convenience features: electrically adjustable outside rear view mirrors, seat height adjustment and lumbar support. The SUV also provides a rear wiper, washer, defogger, and an anti-pinch feature that works on the driver’s window, which adds practicality.
Mahindra Scorpio N Z4 AT: Safety
Safety has been taken care of with a robust array of features for this class. The Scorpio N Z4 AT features an electronic stability program (ESP), hill hold and hill descent control, anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake distribution (EBD), and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes. ISOFIX child seat mounts are also offered, so it is a worthy option for family buyers.
