It is unclear if the 2016 Mahindra Scorpio will be available with an automatic transmission.

It is likely that the Mahindra Scorpio special edition will be offered with the 2.2-litre mHawk four-cylinder diesel engine in the same state of tune as the standard variants. The motor is capable of producing 120 bhp at 4,000 rpm and 280 Nm of torque between 1,800-2,800 rpm. It is unclear if the special edition will be available only with the five-speed manual gearbox or if it will extend to include the six-speed automatic transmission as well.
