Mahindra has introduced the Scorpio-N Z8T Diesel MT 2025, a refreshed variant in its popular SUV lineup, bringing new features at a lower price compared to the earlier Z8L trim. Despite being positioned as a “new” model, the Z8T is essentially a renamed and upgraded version of the previous top-end manual diesel variant.

The Scorpio-N Z8T Diesel MT 2025 is priced at ₹20.69 lakh (ex-showroom) for the 2WD manual diesel variant. This marks a ₹9,000 price reduction compared to the earlier Z8L model, while adding additional convenience features.
