Mahindra is about to launch the new generations of the XUV500 and therefore the Scorpio in 2021. The XUV500 is slated to launch by March 2021, followed by the Scorpio. Now, newly leaked documents reveal the carmaker has trademarked the name ‘Scorpion’.
Mahindra earlier filed a trademark for the name ‘Scorpio Sting’. one among these might be for a special variant within the lineup. The SUV has borne the name ‘Scorpio’ for quite 15 years in India. Since this is often just a trademark, there are chances it’s going to not be used in the least .
The new Mahindra Scorpio will undergo an entire makeover. a replacement or an updated version of this ladder frame chassis is predicted onboard. the form of the SUV has been revised heavily for the primary time.
The outgoing version is predicted to get on sale with the upcoming Scorpio. the prevailing engine is already BS6 compliant, so it’ll need no changes. The new model will feature petrol and diesel engines that debuted with the new Thar. The new 2.0-litre turbo petrol and a couple of .2-litre all-aluminium diesel producing 150PS and 130PS, respectively, will power the new Scorpio. Transmission options will include a 6-speed AT and a 6-speed manual transmission
The Scorpio will feature a bigger touchscreen infotainment system, a replacement alloy wheel design, and a number of other other highlights. On the security front, it’s expected to urge six airbags, rear parking camera, and vehicle stability management (VSM) on the top-spec variants.
The Mahindra Scorpio currently retails for Rs 12.42 lakh to Rs 16.27 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Expect the new generation, which might be launched around mid-2021, to command a premium over this.
