The Mahindra Scorpio has been turning heads on Indian roads for over 20 years. What makes it such a fan favorite? Its muscular stance, no-nonsense performance, and the ability to handle anything you throw at it—from city streets to rocky trails.
And with every new version, Mahindra just keeps refining the recipe. The latest Scorpio models now mix tough-as-nails utility with creature comforts and tech that modern drivers crave.
Design
Let’s talk about presence. The Scorpio has always looked like it means business. That big grille? Iconic. The sharp projector headlamps, strong bumper, and pronounced hood lines scream power and purpose. It’s like the SUV equivalent of a bodybuilder in a well-cut suit.
Modern touches like LED DRLs, alloy wheels, and roof rails bring it up to speed visually. It’s rugged, yes—but also stylish enough to park outside a five-star hotel. Whether you’re heading to a mountain trail or a mall, the Scorpio fits right in.
Cabin
Step inside and you’ll find a cabin that’s equal parts practical and plush. The Scorpio can seat 7 to 9 passengers depending on the variant, so there’s room for your whole crew—and then some. The legroom and headroom across all rows make long road trips feel like a breeze.
Mahindra has stepped up the interior game with premium fabric seats, an intuitive dashboard, and a host of tech upgrades.
Think automatic climate control, a touchscreen infotainment system, and controls right on the steering wheel. The Scorpio’s cabin isn’t just a place to sit—it’s a place to relax.
Engine
Under the hood, it’s all muscle. The 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engine packs 140 bhp and 320 Nm of torque. Translation? You’ll feel the grunt whether you’re overtaking on the highway or crawling over a rocky trail.
The 6-speed manual gearbox delivers power smoothly, making both city commutes and mountain adventures manageable.
Its suspension setup is tailored to absorb shocks and potholes with ease. Thanks to its high ground clearance and rigid chassis, you’ll feel confident whether you’re driving through city potholes or riverbeds in the wild.
