What the Z8 Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Z8 Diesel MT comes to ₹21,16,108 on the road in Itanagar and ₹24,12,426 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,96,318 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹19.86L ex-showroom this is the 13th of 27 Scorpio-N variants by price, ₹60,000 above the Z8S Turbo Petrol AT. It is also the cheaper of the two ways into Z8: the same features as the Z8 Diesel AT for ₹1.55L less. Stepping up to Z8T from here starts at ₹52,000 more and buys front parking sensors and wheel size (18" against 17") among 8 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the Z8T starts at ₹20.65L.

Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8 Diesel MT?
- ₹19.86L, ex-showroom. That makes it 13th of 27 by price, ₹60,000 above the Z8S Turbo Petrol AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8 Diesel MT?
- Expect ₹21,16,108 in Itanagar and ₹24,12,426 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,96,318 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8 Diesel MT have?
- The Diesel, 175 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 15.9 km/l.
- What features does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8 Diesel MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Tyre pressure monitor, Dual-zone climate control, Headlamps (LED projector), Rear parking camera, Sunroof (Single-pane) and Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto.
- What does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8 Diesel MT miss out on?
- The Z8T above it adds front parking sensors, wheel size (18" against 17"), speakers (12 against 6), Sony premium sound system and 4 more, for ₹52,000 more. That is the cheapest way into the Z8T though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹79,000 more.
- Is the Z8 the right Scorpio-N to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Mahindra Scorpio-N which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
