Mahindra has teased the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio SUV ahead of its launch in India. The 30-second teaser video barely reveals the silhouette of the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio SUV.
Apart from that, the teaser partially reveals the twin-pod LED projector headlamps and LED fog lamps used in the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio.
However, numerous spy shots of the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio that has been doing rounds in the internet reveal much more than the silhouette and headlamps of the SUV.
The latest teaser from Mahindra could be part of Mahindra’s plans to launch the new-gen Scorpio on the 20th anniversary of the Scorpio in June.
Analysing the spy shots of the new Mahindra Scorpio, it is clear that the latest iteration of the 7-seater SUV looks at least a size bigger than the current generation model. In fact, the new Mahindra Scorpio does look slightly bigger than the recently launched Mahindra XUV700.
Though the upcoming new-generation Scorpio does feature an all-new design language with more aggressive design elements, the SUV does take a lot of inspiration from the outgoing Scorpio with the inclusion of design elements such as the upright front-end, boxy twin-pod headlamps, and signature six-slat grille.
In addition to that, the new 2022 Mahindra Scorpio does seem to have taken a few design traits from Mahindra’s existing XUV lineup of SUVs.
Under the skin, the new 2022 Mahindra Scorpio is likely to come equipped with a rugged body-on-frame chassis and powered by Mahindra’s tried-and-tested 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel unit and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
However, these engines are more likely to come in a lower state of tune compared to the engines in the Mahindra XUV700 SUV. Apart from that, the upcoming 2022 Mahindra Scorpio also likely come with both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission as options.
We also expect Mahindra to equip the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio with a sophisticated shift-on-fly four-wheel-drive system and this four-wheel-drive option is more likely to be available on the top-end variants of the SUV.
Also, the interior of the new Mahindra Scorpio was recently spied and the new spy shots reveal a drastically improved interior. According to the spy shots, the interior of the new Scorpio takes lots of cues from the Mahindra Thar and Mahindra XUV700.
We also expect the top-end variants of the new Mahindra Scorpio to feature a majority of the tech and features from the Mahindra XUV700. This will include features such as a large landscape-oriented touchscreen infotainment unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, fully digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, memory seats, wireless charging pad, cooled glovebox, and much more.
Though Mahindra may offer many features from the XUV700, we do not expect the new Scorpio to feature the much-hyped Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
We also expect Mahindra to price the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio aggressively with a starting price close to Rs 12 lakh to Rs 13 lakh mark in order to position the SUV below the Mahindra XUV700.
