The new generation Mahindra Scorpio’s exterior has been revealed in the latest teaser. Mahindra has shared that the Scorpio’s successor will be called the ‘Scorpio-N’. Mahindra has already confirmed that its launch is scheduled for June 27.

Mahindra has given the SUV a major design overhaul. Where the previous iteration had a boxy 90s’ vibe, the Scorpio N features clean lines, softer edges and a posh stance. That said, it still retains the typical Scorpio design traits which includes the kink around the C-pillar, stepped roofline, identical roof rails and taillights running into the roof-integrated spoiler. Modern bits on the SUV include LED lighting all-around, machine-finished alloy wheels, and the carmaker’s latest logo.

Mahindra will offer the Scorpio-N with the XUV700’s 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines. While a 6-speed MT will come as standard, there will be an optional 6-speed automatic transmission on offer as well. The carmaker will be providing both petrol and diesel versions of the SUV with a 4x4 option.

We expect Mahindra to price the Scorpio-N from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) onward. It will rival similarly priced compact SUVs such as the Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, Kia Seltos, and MG Astor.
