The new Mahindra Scorpio Pik-Up features a bolder front-end that looks powerful. The new Mahindra Scorpio Pik-Up has basically inherited the 2015 Mahindra Scorpio’s fascia. This is to say that the workhorse gets new toothed grille with chrome inserts, double-barrel headlamps with LED eyebrows, new fog lamps, reshaped lower air intake and the more aggressive bumper.

The new Mahindra Scorpio commercial vehicle gets an entirely revamped interior, also constructed with parts picked out from the inventory of the new Mahindra Scorpio. The dashboard, steering wheel, centre console, air vents and instrument panel are fresh. The equipment list includes a 6-inch touchscreen infotainment system with satellite navigation. Tunisia will get the new Mahindra Scorpio Pik-Up in Single Cab and Double Cab versions. In other markets, Mahindra offers cab-chassis versions as well.

Detailed specifications of the Tunisian-spec Mahindra Scorpio Pik-Up aren’t out yet. In other international markets, the pickup truck (with tub) measures 5,175 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width and 1,860 mm (single cab)/1,915 mm (double cab) mm in height. It uses the 2.2-litre mHawk CRDe four-cylinder diesel engine that produces 103 kW (140.04 PS) and 320 Nm of torque.
