Mahindra’s all-new Scorpio has been spied testing again but the new images show key design details that weren't seen previously. While the first set of spy shots had shown that the new Scorpio will get an upright nose and grille along with a new front bumper design (to meet upcoming pedestrian safety norms), these new images confirm a well-contoured bonnet, a criss-cross pattern for the grille, a more sharply raked front windshield and the larger doors to better fit the longer wheelbase. The extended wheelbase means that the next-gen Scorpio is expected to have a roomier cabin.
The new images also show
that the rear bumper is thicker than the current model’s and the boot can be
accessed via a side-hinged door, confirmed by the handle on the left side.
Mahindra's North American Technical Centre in Detroit, United States, where the
new SUV was conceptualised, has made sure that the new Scorpio retains the
outgoing model’s muscular and SUV-like overall design.
A set of interior spy
shots told us that the next-gen Scorpio (codename: Z101) will come with a new
dashboard that is capable of housing a large touchscreen infotainment system.
But whether Mahindra will equip the new Scorpio with the Alturas G4’s 8.0-inch
infotainment system or the 7.0-inch unit from the XUV300 and Marazzo is still
unknown. The images also showed that the Scorpio and the Marazzo are expected
to share quite a few interior bits – from the instrument cluster to the
steering wheel and control stalks. Recent government norms will also see all
variants of the next-gen Scorpio getting forward-facing seats for all three
rows.
Mahindra is expected to
showcase the all-new Scorpio at the 2020 Auto Expo, before it makes its way to
showrooms. When it arrives in India, the next-gen Mahindra Scorpio will rival
the upcoming seven-seat version of the MG Hector and Tata Harrier (showcased as
the Buzzard at the 2019 Geneva motor show), along with other SUVs like the
upcoming Ford and Maruti Suzuki models. This will bring more choices for the
Mahindra suv lovers as the new mahindra 2020 is the sport that no one wants to
miss and that also with all the new and exciting features which the people are
getting. This will also bring a lot of competition for the existing suv and they
will have to bring something new in the market which could make them stand
better.
