Mahindra has finally introduced the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) in the popular Scorpio N SUV. This new update makes the Scorpio N even more advanced, safe, and tech-loaded. With the price starting at Rs 21.35 lakh (ex-showroom), this new variant is targeted at customers who want both power and modern safety features in one package.

- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Forward Collision Warning
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Traffic Sign Recognition

These systems use cameras and sensors to monitor the road and surroundings, helping the driver stay alert and safe. Until now, this feature was only seen in higher-end vehicles. But Mahindra is bringing it to the mass market with the new Scorpio N.

The design of the Scorpio N remains bold and muscular, just like before. There are no major changes on the outside, which means it still carries the tough and premium SUV look.
Some key highlights:
- Big chrome-finished grille
- Stylish LED headlamps

It still has the commanding road presence that buyers love. The addition of ADAS has not affected the styling in any way.

- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Dual-zone climate control

The dashboard now includes more advanced driver controls to support ADAS features.
