Z2 or Z4, and what each costs
Where you start
Z2
From ₹13.69L to ₹14.19L ex-showroom Delhi
The honest base: the full 5-star body, dual airbags, four speakers and steel wheels. Halogen lamps and manual AC tell you where the money went, and there is no phone mirroring at all.
- Turbo Petrol 6-speed manual₹13.69L
- Diesel 6-speed manual₹14.19L
The step up
Z4
From ₹15.57L to ₹18.03L ex-showroom Delhi
The everyday kit step, and the first one you can plug a phone into: the 8in screen gains wired Android Auto and CarPlay, plus cruise control, a height-adjust seat with lumbar, a rear wiper and roof rails.
Our take
Keeps ₹1.88L, and gives up only cruise control and wired CarPlay / Android Auto
Buy the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z2 and keep the ₹1.88L: the Scorpio-N Z4 only adds small touches like cruise control, wired CarPlay / Android Auto and height-adjustable driver seat. Nothing there changes the car.
What Z2 to Z4 costs on the road
What you pay for this step depends on where you register it: ₹2,01,160 to ₹2,49,220 on the road, against the ₹1,88,000 the price list shows.
Why the road figure moves, and by how much
Road tax is charged on what the car costs, so moving up a trim moves the tax up with it. The ₹1,88,000 is the distance between two price tags; the road figures add the tax and the charges that difference attracts.
The rate is your state's to choose, and they do not choose alike, so this one step is worth ₹48,060 more in one place than in another. Of the 25 states we can price this step in, Gujarat and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest.
Only the rate where the car is registered applies to you, so hold a dealer's quote against your own state's figure rather than the range. The range is still worth knowing: it is why two owners can quote this step to each other, differ by ₹48,060, and both be right.
