The Mahindra Scorpio has been spotted testing multiple times now. In recent times we even say the Mahindra Scorpio undergoing tessts catch flames. Nobody was hurt in that incident and that is why we know companies do exhaustive tests on their cars so that such eventualities do not occur with customers in the real-world. The final production vehicle is expected to be coming at the 2020 Auto Expo next year.

Mahindra Scorpio 2020 fire

Mahindra Scorpio was the car that changed the fortune of the company and would make Mahindra go from making trucks, tractors and other commercial vehicles to making superb and segment-leading cars. The car is now one of the best SUVs in the country and to keep this streak going and we will soon see the Mahindra Scorpio 2020. Mahindra and Mahindra have started working on this new-gen offering that will take on the new BSVI emission norms scheduled to come in effect in April 2020 which is why we spotted the car in Chengalpattu last month and this past week we spotted the car on test in Coimbatore.

There is news that the new car uses some very unexpected ways to save weight. Scroll down to find out how?

Mahindra Scorpio 2020 Specifications

The new Mahindra Scorpio 2020 will be a spec enhancement over the others. The Scorpio will get the new 2.0-litre engine that Mahindra is developing. Thus, this engine will be BS6 compliant. The platform will be all-new too. This will result in a weight reduction making the car lighter by 80 Kgs. This will be mainly because the 2.2-litre mHawk engine which was used previously is used no more.

The car will disc brakes on all four tyres, more electronic aids and the weight of the SUV will be going down.The car will feature 4-wheel drive systems. These will work along with both manual as well as an automatic gearbox. There will be many segment firsts in terms of features in the new Scorpio. We will have to wait for an announcement or disclosure for the same to know more.

Mahindra Scorpio 2020 Design

The design – let’s start with the exterior. The car’s design will not change much. The tough, no-nonsense front which everyone loves, will continue to be on the same lines as the Scorpios of the past. We expect it to now get a full LED headlight cluster for starters and also a completely new bonnet with more muscle. The Mahindra could get bigger wheels too.

The Mahindra Scorpio 2020 will be plusher on the inside. The car will be more feature-loaded too. Expect better seats, a completely redesigned dashboard with a bigger touchscreen, a new instrument cluster which provides more information and most importantly more space in the back. We expect the Mahindra to now provide flat-folding seats too.

Mahindra Scorpio 2020 Dimensions

Below is an image that shows the car’s front and is a familiar design. We can see Mahindra giving the Scorpio a new headlight design, a bigger grille and new bumpers too. The car will also get a redesigned hood and the pillars will become thicker. This will improve the safety of the car. The car’s design will overall become more pedestrian-friendly and will also have a more aggressive look to it.

The digital rendering of how this car might look reveals that the car has become more premium than before. This due to a longer overhang behind the rear wheel. To add to this there also a lot of chrome treatments at various places. Somehow this reminds a lot of the new generation Toyota Fortuner

Mahindra Scorpio 2020 Safety

The Mahindra Scorpio 2020 is a car that is known for its rugged nature.  Along with that it also has a Ladder on Frame chassis. This gives the car a lot of body roll which brings down the safe feel of the car. As the new car has a revised platform this might be brought to some control but it will not get rid of it completely. The other safety features might include the addition of more airbags and proper seat belts. It might also get a speed warning and a seatbelt warning as the other Mahindra cars get. Therefore the Safety of the car will increase due to these factors.

Mahindra Scorpio 2020 Mileage

The mileage of this car is good for the amount of weight this car pulls. The driving style and engine condition will definitely see some effect on the mileage. The BS6 engine will have some changes in mileage figures. The 2020 Car will be longer in dimensions and this might seem to have some effect but on the other hand, they have a lighter chassis which will result in some weight reduction and improve mileage.
