Mahindra South Africa has introduced a limited edition model of its Scorpio SUV. Here’s how much the S11 Adventure costs and what you get for your money.

Mahindra South Africa has given its Scorpio an offroad pack and says its limited-edition S11 Adventure is aimed at “families who would like to live large and explore all that South Africa has to offer.”

“The Scorpio is the first choice for families looking for a large SUV with proven off-road credentials and trusted durability,” says Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.

“With the limited-edition Scorpio S11 Adventure, we have managed to add even more features that make the design more appealing and improve the Scorpio’s go-anywhere credentials.”

So, what do you get? The new Mahindra Scorpio S11 comes with offroad bumpers, all-terrain wheels and tyres as well as Adventure badges on the sides and rear.

These bumpers aren’t just for show and Mahindra says they increase the approach and departure angles, useful for offroad expeditions. The new front bumper also features anchor points on the chassis, meaning serious 4×4 fanatics can fit recovery gear such as high-lift jacks or an electric winch. All Mahindra Scorpio S11 Adventure models offer 195 mm of suspension travel and 165 mm of ground clearance.

The rear bumper comes with a tow bar as standard and there’s provision for recovery points and jack points too. These tyres are an upgrade from the standard 235/65R17 road-biased rubber and the new 245/65R17 all-terrain tyres look chunky enough to take on some serious offroading.

The Mahindra Scorpio S11 Adventure features the same upgrades that the S10 received in 2020, with more engine power coming from the 2.2-litre mHawk turbodiesel and automatic 6-speed gearbox. Outputs of 103 kW and 320 Nm are on offer and the vehicle is able to shift from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive at speeds of up to 100 kph.

Inside, the Mahindra Scorpio S11 Adventure comes with electronic climate control, power steering, cruise control, a new 7-inch infotainment system that’s CarPlay/Android Auto compatible as well as a reverse camera.

How much does the Mahindra Scorpio S11 Adventure cost in South Africa?

The new model is available at dealers across Southern Africa at a starting price of R416 999. All models are sold with a 5-year / 90 000 km service plan and 4-year / 120 000 km comprehensive mechanical warranty.
