We recently spotted the BS6 Mahindra Scorpio undergoing testing. Now, the Indian carmaker has revealed the specifications of the BS6 Scorpio on its official website, however, the price announcement has been deferred due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The BS6 Scorpio loses out on the S3 base variant and is now only offered in four variants: S5, S7, S9, and S11. It is powered by the same 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine that continues to put out 140PS of power and 320Nm of torque. Mahindra has discontinued the 120PS/280Nm version of the 2.2-litre diesel engine. Mahindra has also pulled the plug on the 2.5-litre diesel engine (75PS/200Nm) that powered the S3 variant of the BS4 Scorpio.

While the S5 variant of the BS6 Scorpio is offered with a 5-speed manual transmission, the S7, S9, and S11 variants come with a 6-speed manual gearbox. With the BS6 upgrade, the SUV also loses out on its 4WD (four-wheel-drive) option.
