What the Z8S Turbo Petrol AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Z8S Turbo Petrol AT comes to ₹20,53,108 on the road in Itanagar and ₹23,40,504 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,87,396 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 ₹19.26L ex-showroom Delhi this is the 12th of 27 Scorpio-N variants by price, ₹44,000 above the Z6 Diesel AT. The same Z8S kit starts at ₹1.47L less as the Z8S Turbo Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to Z8 from here starts at ₹60,000 more and buys tyre pressure monitor and auto climate (single zone) among 7 additions. Worth knowing that the Z8 is not sold with the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Where the cabin changes character: a 12.3in screen and a full digital cluster, six airbags, LED projectors, connected tech with Alexa, an emergency call button and the first alloy wheels.
Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol AT?
- ₹19.26L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 12th of 27 by price, ₹44,000 above the Z6 Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol AT?
- Expect ₹20,53,108 in Itanagar and ₹23,40,504 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,87,396 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker 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 Z8S Turbo Petrol AT have?
- The Turbo Petrol, 203 PS, with the 6-speed torque-converter auto. The maker's figure for it is 12.1 km/l.
- What mileage does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol AT really return?
- 2 independent publishers have measured it at around 8 to 9 km/l. The certified figure is 12.1 km/l, so plan your running costs on the measured range rather than on that.
- What features does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Headlamps (LED projector), Rear parking camera, Sunroof (Single-pane), Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Connected car tech and Hill descent control.
- What does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol AT miss out on?
- The Z8 above it adds tyre pressure monitor, auto climate (single zone), dual-zone climate control, auto headlamps and 3 more, for ₹60,000 more. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the Z8 is not sold with this one.
- Is the Z8S 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 version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
