Mahindra Scorpio has been a C-Segment SUV since it was first launched 20 years ago – Its new gen Scorpio N will move up a tier into the D-segment

Mahindra launched the first Scorpio on June 20th, 2002 – about 20 years ago. Since its launch, it has enjoyed a cult following which is preserved even today. On its 20th anniversary month, Mahindra will launch the new gen Scorpio, which is being referred to as Scorpio N – ‘Big Daddy of SUVs’.

Over the years, Mahindra has given multiple updates and facelifts to the Scorpio. But now, it will get its biggest update yet. This time around, Scorpio is taking a giant leap in the form of a whole new car, in a whole new segment and wearing a whole new premium suit.

Ahead of launch, Mahindra has officially revealed the first images of 2022 Scorpio. Exteriors has been more or less revealed, except for the rear design.

Interiors are still not revealed. New Scorpio retains the boxiness of old Scorpio with an increase in length, width and height. We have come to like the upright and bold front bonnet, new grille, side profile, and the overall sense of immenseness that it radiates.

Features and Pricing

In terms of safety, the SUV will get ABS, EBD, TCS, ESP, TPMS and up to 6 airbags. Mahindra is also expected to give some driver assistance systems on the Scorpio too. Mahindra also boasts that it will be very safe and we expect it to perform well in crash test. This will be a big improvement, especially when we consider that the old Scorpio scored a 0 star rating in the Global NCAP crash test.

Mahindra Scorpio will be the only one in the segment to come with a combination of rugged ladder-frame chassis and a 4X4 system. Following Mahindra’s recent pricing strategies, we expect it to be priced very aggressively, atleast at the time of launch this month. Petrol Scorpion could get a launch price of Rs 12 lakh, while diesel Scorpio N 2022 could be priced from Rs 13 lakhs – on road.
