Based on the new and previous spy pictures, the new Mahindra Scorpio would feature a multi-slat front grille with the company’s logo in the middle. The upcoming SUV would also come equipped with LED projector headlamps. However, they might be provided in the higher-end trims.
The new Mahindra Scorpio would continue to have the tallboy stance that has been a part of the SUV ever since it was introduced in the market. It will be based on the same platform which underpins the Mahindra Thar. We wouldn’t be surprised to see a set of new LED taillamps on the new Scorpio. Some of the other features would include a roof-mounted rear spoiler with an integrated high stop taillamp, rear wiper, side-opening tailgate, multi-spoke alloy wheels, and more.
