The new image shows the front and the side of the SUV. To start with, the entire silhouette of the Scorpio looks muscular, butch, and modern. The sporty bumper and a large front grille (with stylish chrome bars) give it a tough yet modern appearance. It is accompanied by wide headlamps and functional roof rails. The wheel arches are squared-off with silver alloy wheels. The A, B, and C-pillars are housed in one casing while the blacked-out D-pillar forms a box of its own. Overall, the SUV has a boxy feel and a bullish character. While we are not sure if this is a leaked image of the next-gen Scorpio, if the actual model resembles this version, Mahindra might have yet another winner on its hands.

The Mahindra Scorpio is powered by a 2.2-liter diesel engine that outputs 140 hp and 320 Nm of peak power and torque respectively. This engine is paired with a sole 6-speed manual transmission. The higher trims also get a 4×4 drive system. The upcoming SUV might get the convenience of an automatic transmission. It might feature Mahindra’s 1.2-litre direct injection turbo petrol engine that makes 150 hp. Currently, the Mahindra Scorpio does not have any direct rivals. However, in the mid-size SUV space, the popular SUV will have to compete with the likes of the Creta and Seltos, depending on the customer’s needs.
