It gets 10 smart features like warning in case of frontal collision, auto-adjusting speed according to traffic, keeping the vehicle in its lane, giving information about speed limit, and alerting you if the vehicle in front starts moving.
All these features not only make driving safe but also make long-distance trips comfortable. This safety technology has previously been seen in Mahindra’s XUV700 and Thar Rocks and is now available in Scorpio N as well.
