Reports say that the new Mahindra Scorpio will get a proper compact-SUV shape. A smaller Scorpio might look a bit weird, right?
We believe that the 2020 Scorpio will give a tough competition to the upcoming Tata Harrier. The Harrier is going to launch in initial months of 2019 to take on the likes of Scorpio, XUV 500, Jeep Compass and more. However, the Harrier will be the costliest Tata car in India. So, expect it to come with a huge list of features.

The CRDi gets a 5-speed transmission only and the mHawk engine gets a 5-speed MT and optional 6-speed MT in the higher variants. Earlier, it used to offer an automatic transmission, which was discontinued. In the new Scorpio, we expect a new Automatic gearbox to also come. The top-spec S11 variant also gets a 4WD system.
