What the Z8S Turbo Petrol MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Z8S Turbo Petrol MT comes to ₹18,98,758 on the road in Itanagar and ₹21,64,295 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹2,65,537 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 ₹17.79L ex-showroom this is the eighth of 27 Scorpio-N variants by price, ₹11,000 above the Z4 Diesel AT. It is also the cheapest of the 4 ways into Z8S: the same features as the Z8S Diesel MT for ₹1.00L less. Stepping up to Z8 from here starts at ₹2.07L more and buys tyre pressure monitor and dual-zone climate control among 6 additions. Worth knowing that the Z8 is not sold with the Turbo Petrol with the 6-speed manual, 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 MT?
- ₹17.79L, ex-showroom. That makes it 8th of 27 by price, ₹11,000 above the Z4 Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol MT?
- Expect ₹18,98,758 in Itanagar and ₹21,64,295 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹2,65,537 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 Z8S Turbo Petrol MT have?
- The Turbo Petrol, 203 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 12.2 km/l.
- What features does the Mahindra Scorpio-N Z8S Turbo Petrol MT get?
- The features 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 MT miss out on?
- The Z8 above it adds tyre pressure monitor, dual-zone climate control, auto headlamps, auto-folding wing mirrors and 2 more, for ₹2.07L 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 answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
