Mahindra launched the all-new Scorpio-N in June this year. It has been a blockbuster hit product for the company with more than one lakh bookings on the first day itself. Now, adding another feather to its cap are the latest Global NCAP crash test ratings. The Scorpio-N becomes the third Mahindra SUV to score a full 5-star rating after the XUV300 and the XUV700.

It is worth noting that the Scorpio-N is the third SUV to be crash-tested following the updated protocols of Global NCAP just like the Skoda Kushaq and Volkswagen Taigun. The Mahindra Scorpio-N was tested in its basic safety specification fitted with dual front airbags and ABS. It doesn’t get ESC and side curtain airbags as standard across all the variants.

According to Global NCAP, the lack of three point seatbelts affected the child occupant protection result, limiting it to only three stars. Alejandro Furas, Secretary General of Global NCAP, said, “Global NCAP congratulates Mahindra on its continuing commitment to safety, achieving five stars for adult occupant protection under our new, more demanding crash test protocols.”
