As well, mileage dropped from 7.8kmpl in city to 6.8 kmpl
What are you observations? Is this normal or i need to take to garage to get it checked.

I have a diesel automatic and it runs at 15km/hr without acceleration. Not sure about the petrol one... please get it checked at the service centre.

The creep speed in typical automatic cars is 8kmph to 10kmph. Isn't 15kmph too high speed without pressing accelerator pedal.
Does Scorpio-N automatic accelerate too much and needs more braking in bumper to bumper traffic because creep speed is 15kmph?

I have been waiting for 2 weeks to get Scorpio-N automatic drive in Hyderabad. It looks like dealerships are not that interested in selling Scorpio-N and do not have a test drive car readily available also.
I will remember to test creep speeds in my test drive to make sure I don't feel too uncomfortable due to 15kmph creep speed.

Are there any discounts on Z8L? I've booked Thar Roxx AX7L but still confused between Scorpio N and Roxx

15km/hr is the top speed if the vehicle is running on a plain road, when you remove the brake it starts with 5km/hr and gradually the speed increases. If you don't apply brakes at all and without acceleration the speed will go upto 15km/hr.With my experience of driving Scorpio N from last two years, I found it very useful in bumper to bumper traffic in Bangalore. This is when I am alone in the car. I drive a diesel AT 4xplore. But please check it when you go for a TD.
Cheers

There was discount of ₹40k on Z8L petrol or diesel Scorpio-N last month. I have taken test drive of Thar Roxx and XUV700 on the same stretch of road which has plain Tarmac, small potholes, 50 meters of very bad road.

On plain tarmac and small potholed road, Thar Roxx performed good and suspension was able to absorb the undulations.
On 50 meters road with bad potholes, even though I slowed down in Thar Roxx there was more side to side movement (typical of BoF cars). MY2023 XUV700 test drive performed better on this stretch.
I am awaiting Scorpio-N test drive to take it through the same road so I can conclude which Mahindra to buy.

There is a Select Motors Tata showroom nearby and I went there just to check Harrier about 2 weeks back. Test drive Harrier has some issues and has been standing outside the showroom for 2 weeks now. The Tata SA is responsive, but does not know when the car will be fixed. This again lowered my confidence of going with Harrier as an alternate. I will stick to Mahindra for now..

Creep on ScorpioN AT Diesel works on two speeds:

• Crawling speed is 08kph when one starts from 0kph. Even while driving if you stop the car completely, wait for a few seconds, and then move, it will crawl at 8kph
  
  
• Crawling speed is 14kph when the vehicle is slow (never hits 0kph) but it keeps moving at low speeds

These two different crawling speeds from the same engine and AT gearbox a simple yet clever feature; very helpful in different traffic conditions.

Some dealers are offering about ₹40k discount on on-road price on Z8L variants.
I saw feedback in XUV700 thread that the ventilated seats in XUV700 AX7L are not that effective as say Hyundai/Kia.

Question for new Z8L owners:
1. How effective are ventilated seats on Z8L?
2. I got to test wireless charger in Thar Roxx test drive of 20 minutes and my phone gained 10% charge during this time. How good is wireless charger on Z8L?

Thanks for the detailed explanation on the 2 crawl speeds available on Scorpio-N diesel AT. The 2 different crawl speeds definitely will be lot more useful in bumper to bumper traffic as well as in slow moving traffic scenarios.

Hi Team,
What is the latest software version available for the infotainment (Z8)? Of late, I see the reverse cam doesn't come up (sometimes, 4 out of 10 times) when reverse gear is engaged. I haven't faced this issue previously and only observing from past 10-15 days.
Mine is Jan'2024 model and had version of 10.27.64 which was updated during my first service. I remember getting a call on my mobile last month, while I was on long drive asking for the update, could not proceed with it as I was on drive.
Can this be an issue with software version or so, has anyone faced this issue recently? Thanks!

I purchased a Scorpio N a couple of months ago from Ananth Cars (Mysore Road, Bengaluru), and yesterday, I got a call from the showroom regarding a complementary 2N/3D stay in any of the Club Mahindra resorts, which can be availed within 6 months. However, in order to receive the voucher, I need to attend a 30-minute briefing in their showroom along with my family.

Has anyone received similar calls? Is it genuine and worth paying a visit or is it just some sort of marketing trick to sell a Club Mahindra membership or something like that?

Well they say you have won something. They say it's complementary. But instead of just sending you a digital coupon they ask you to personally visit them and sit through a min 30 mins meeting.

Of course it's a sales pitch. Shoot out a mail to Mahindra keeping the dealership CRM in cc and ask about if there is an ongoing offer where you get this hotel stay complementary when purchasing Mahindra cars (I am not aware of it).

If it isn't there then ask them to explain how Club Mahindra guys know that you have purchased the car and if the dealership is selling this information for profit.

At the very least you will have some fun out of it.

I have got the dreaded DPF clogged warning along with the check engine light but this time there isn't any option to do the manual park regen. While searching online I discovered that the soot levels might be higher than the threshold for a park regen, so I drove around for 30 mins with rpm between 2000 to 3200. The warning is still there and the option to do a manual regen is still not showing up.

A blog by mahindra has this chart-


But the warning my car has is a solid check engine light with a solid DPF clogged indicator, which is not present in the chart.

Any ideas on how to clean the DPF in this situation or will I have to go to the ASC?

This is not a feature - it's just how the transmission is programmed to not downshift to 1st.

When you start off from 0, it's in first gear and hence it crawls at idling RPM in 1st gear, which is 8kmph.
When you slow down after having reached 2nd gear or beyond, it doesn't shift back to 1st gear, and instead uses the torque converter to go back to idle RPM in 2nd, which is 14KMPH.

You can shift to Manual mode any time and downshift to 1st whenever you want (in heavy traffic) so that it doesn't keep trying to go to 15kmph. This will save your brakes and give you better FE in crawling traffic.

With the updated version of Scorpio N getting auto-dimming IRVM, has anyone tried to retrofit this onto the previous versions (2022-23 models) of N?

I checked with the Service Advisor during a recent service and he mentioned non-compatibility. I am yet to talk to a tech at the service center on this though.

They would need a splitter in couplers and then it can be connected coupler to coupler.

It depends on the will of service center to address it.

[Mr.Fawlty]

Requesting some suggestion from fellow N owners...

I'm in my 8th month and just short of 8k KMs with my white Z8 Manual 4x4.

Now, I'm about to set off on a fairly longish trip in a couple of weeks - estimated 3k KMs roundtrip. I should also be approaching the 10k KMs/annual service mark half way into the trip. I'm leaning towards getting the service at that point; service center availability will not be a constraint, I will just be needing to set aside a day. But, here's the thing: my DEF level's currently at 32%. The SN being my first Mahindra and BS6.2 diesel vehicle, I'm lacking in experience with DPF, DEF and likes, and have no clue if ~30% DEF level (my usage of the SN will be minimal in the interim) will be sufficient to cover the trip until the service.

So that gets me wondering which of the following would be wise -
1) Stick to the plan, assume 30% should be good for the next 1500KMs; top up during the 10k KMs service
2) Do the full service (incl. DEF top up) before starting - I do feel this may be alarmist
3) Top up on the way if it drops below a certain threshold?

Please let me know your thoughts. And, in general, a 68% DEF consumption for about 8k KMs - is that normal usage?
