A group of adventure-seekers from South Africa have embarked on an epic journey with Mahindra to unleash the power of N by visiting seven of the natural wonders of Southern Africa behind the wheel of the all-new Mahindra Scorpio-N. This adventure is the third and final installment of a trilogy of adventures that Mahindra created to showcase its new range of models, including the Scorpio-N and XUV700.
In each installment, a group of adventurers took different vehicles to unique and exciting destinations, while filming their experience. The first adventure saw Mahindra trek across some of Southern Africa’s most challenging terrain in the new Pik Up Karoo Dusk, Karoo Dawn, and Karoo Storm. The second adventure saw a group of friends challenge each other to participate in outdoor experiences in the Western Cape, all behind the wheel of the brand-new Mahindra XUV700. In this series, the XUV700 became the vehicle that allowed them to “Explore Active Living.”
The third and final adventure is perhaps the most ambitious yet, as a formidable team of adventurers will seek to conquer some of the best adventure wonder routes in Southern Africa, all behind the wheel of the Mahindra Scorpio-N. It is no coincidence that the Scorpio-N is the star of the final installment, having recently launched to the South African public in the Western Cape.
The Scorpio-N is an all-new, built-from-the-ground-up model that has been improved to an exponential level, with its unmissable design, thrilling performance, intuitive safety, capability for everyone, sophisticated technology, and comfort. Packed with state-of-the-art engineering, including double wishbone front suspension, Pentalink rear suspension, mechanical rear differential lock, and electronic brake locking differentials, the Scorpio-N is the perfect body-on-frame SUV built for personal exploration and adventure. And at the heart of the 4×4 models lies the 4XPLOR terrain response system, which can turn any novice into a confident and seasoned 4×4 driver on any terrain.
The team started their journey on the world-famous landscape and breathtaking vistas of Richtersveld. Their adventures have been captured in the first episode, which will be aired on the Mahindra YouTube platform from this week. The series continues for six more episodes covering other famous parts of Southern Africa, including South Africa’s longest 4×4 trail, the Namakwa Eco Trial. It will also pass through the Kalahari and Africa’s Kingdom in the Sky, Lesotho.
The team this week found themselves taking on Moolmanshoek in the Free State. This popular 4×4 destination offers large granite outcrops, steep ravines, and narrow paths that the off-road guide travels on horseback ahead of the vehicles and often provides guidance to the drivers through the sunroof of the descending Scorpio-Ns. After completing the Moolmanshoek adventure, the team still plans to cross a part of the Namib desert, the oldest desert in the world, before heading to Lesotho.
