Mahindra is all set to introduce the long-awaited new-gen Scorpio SUV in the country. In fact, the company has started teasing the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio. Likely to be introduced in June 2022, the new Scorpio has been spotted testing numerous times. This time, the clear exterior pictures of the new model have been leaked on the Internet.
Codenamed Z101, the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio is claimed to “redefine industry benchmarks in the D-segment SUV category.” In pictures, the new Scorpio looks as big as the new XUV700. It retains the original boxy design, which is loved by many in the country.
The 2022 Mahindra Scorpio gets an upright front with a signature grille with six vertically stacked chrome slats and new Mahindra logo in the centre. There is a chrome bar that runs above the grille and merges in the neatly designed headlamps. The headlamps look stylish with two projector units.
It comes with a massive bumper that has three separate enclosures. The air dam has honeycomb mesh design and is placed at the centre, and there is a faux skid plate on the lower part of the bumper. The spotted model looks like a mid-level variant. It features two separate sections at each corner for the fog lamp units. The teaser shows that the fog lamp housing are outlined with C-shaped LED daytime running lamps.
The SUV has strong character lines that run across the length of the SUV. There is a striking kink on the rear door that moves upwards and strong chromed window lone. The spotted model has body coloured door handles; however, the top-end variant could get chromed door handles. The SUV is grown in size, which is also evident from the larger glasshouse.
At the back, the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio gets a completely new tailgate design. It features a vertically placed tail-lamps and a side hinged rear door. The SUV features a completely re-designed lower bumper that accommodates brake lights, chrome treatment and silver finished skid plate.
The previous spy images reveal that the new Scorpio will have forward facing seats in the third row instead of the jump seats. One can access the third row seats by tumbling down the second row seats via a lever. The SUV will be equipped with high-end features like a digital analogue instrument console, a large touchscreen infotainment system with the latest smartphone connectivity, HUD (Head-Up Display) unit, sunroof, rear AC vents, wireless charging, height adjustable driver seat and others.
For safety and security, the new Scorpio will get up to 6 airbags, a 360 degree camera, ABS with EBD, ESP with traction control, tyre pressure monitoring system, cruise control and rear disc brake.
The 2022 Mahindra Scorpio is likely to share the engine options with the new Thar and XUV700. It will be offered with two engine options – a 2.0L mStallion turbo petrol and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel. The oil burner is likely to come in two states of tunes – 130bhp with 300Nm (on lower variants) and 155bhp & 350Nm (on higher variants). Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic. The high-end variants will come with the terrain modes, drive modes and 4×4 drivetrain system with a low range transfer case.
