Top 5 Expectations about the new Mahindra Scorpio
Mahindra Scorpio has remained one of the most iconic cars sold by Mahindra in the Indian car market for quite some time now. People are a fan of its looks, functionality and the rural sector is a great consumer of this SUV. There is also no real competition to this SUV from other car manufacturers. Buying a Scorpio makes a statement itself like no other car in India as of now. Do you know the top 5 expectations about the new Mahindra Scorpio?
New Design and Exteriors
The next generation Mahindra Scorpio will also get new body panels and come with a similar upright stance which is a trademark of this SUV since the early times. Pedestrian Safety norms will also be taken care of well by the new design of the Mahindra Scorpio.
The tail-end of the vehicle will be short and stubby, with a near-vertical tailgate. We expect the taillights to be LED units, and there will probably be ‘Scorpio’ lettering on the tailgate, which is quite a popular design detail among modern SUVs. The loading lip on the prototype models is quite low, which should make it easy to load luggage.
Better Safety and Platform
The Mahindra Scorpio next generation has already been spotted testing a couple of times in India as of now. The main feature of the next generation Mahindra Scorpio is that the new SUV is based on the next-generation Thar’s ladder-frame chassis. Mahindra Thar has already scored a 4-star rating in the Global NCAP tests so this chassis is pretty well built and sturdy.
Better Interiors
Like all the modern launches, the next generation Mahindra Scorpio will come with fairly simple interiors but with all the modern features. A fresh dashboard layout with touchscreen infotainment system is expected to make an appearance on the inside.
The new Mahindra Scorpio is also expected to share a lot of interior components with the Mahindra Marazzo which will keep the prices of the new generation quite competitive. The next generation Mahindra Scorpio’s interiors has been conceptualized and shaped at Mahindra’s North American Technical Centre in Detroit, United States, and engineered and developed at the Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai.

Better Performance
One of the major update will come in the form of the all-new 2.2L mStallion turbocharged petrol engine. It’s the same powertrain that does duty in the new Thar, but it will be tuned for generating higher power output. The 2021 Mahindra Scorpio petrol version will also be available.
There will also be an updated 2.2L turbo diesel engine on offer. It will produce power around 160bhp with 350Nm of torque. While the oil burner will come with a new 6-speed manual gearbox only, the gasoline unit will be offered with both manual and torque converter automatic transmissions. TGDi engines may also be available.
New Names
Recently, the home-grown carmaker registered new names for the next-generation Scorpio in 4 different formats (Scorpio Sting, the Sting, Sting and Scorpio Sting). The ‘Mahindra Scorpio Sting’ nameplate could be used for the SUV’s all-new model. If reports are to be believed, the carmaker will continue to sell the current generation model alongside the new one.
