Both have stylish look
Although the Scorpio Classic keeps the original Scorpio design language, it has been modernised with new additions to keep it from looking dated. Along with the bonnet scoop and kinked roof, it still has the same tall and imposing stance. The Scorpio N, on the other hand, has a distinctive design that gives it a more threatening appearance. Nevertheless, it keeps some of the Scorpio’s original design cues, like the side-hinged tailgate and kinked roof.
Which one produces higher output?
A 2.2-liter diesel engine with 130 bhp at 3,650 rpm and a peak torque of 300 Nm between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm is an option for the Scorpio Classic. It has a 6-speed gearbox as its only transmission.
The 2.2-liter diesel engine in the Scorpio N, on the other hand, produces a higher output of 172 bhp at 3,500 rpm and a peak torque of 370 Nm between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm. The torque output rises to 400 Nm when coupled with the six-speed torque converter automatic transmission, which operates between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm. A 4×4 drivetrain is also offered with this engine variant. The less powerful models have a peak torque of 300 Nm between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm and 130 bhp at 3,750 rpm.
Scorpio with turbocharged petrol engine
Additionally, the 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine that powers the Scorpio N is also an option. Depending on whether the buyer chooses the 6-speed manual transmission or the 6-speed torque converter, the engine’s peak torque output is either 370 or 380 Nm between 1,750 and 3,000 rpm.
