The earlier spy images of the new Scorpio have also confirmed new features such as a large touchscreen infotainment system (possibly run on Mahindra’s new AdrenoX UI), dual-zone climate control, electric sunroof, roof-mounted speakers, an analogue instrument cluster, new dual-beam LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels and rear disc brakes.
Besides, it is also expected to get connected car technology, wireless Apple Carplay & Android Auto, Alexa voice assistant compatibility, height-adjustable driver's seat, keyless entry with push-button start, multiple airbags, and much more.
The new Scorpio is likely to be driven by Thar’s 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-liter petrol engines, albeit in a higher state of tune. It will come mated with 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions, with rear-wheel and four-wheel drivetrain options.
Mahindra is expected to launch the new Scorpio in early 2022. Expect it to be priced between Rs 12.6 lakh to Rs 19 lakh (ex-showroom). While the Scorpio doesn’t have any direct competitor in the Indian market, it can be seen as a rugged alternative to the compact and mid-sized SUVs like Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster, Nissan Kicks, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, Tata Harrier, and MG Hector.
