Mahindra Scorpio facelift spotted testing again

The timeless Scorpio was said to be there in the works for a new avatar, and even proof of the same was also delivered. Now hopefully, one more spy-shot has sprouted on internet saying the confirmation about it.

The latest sets of spy-shots are no different than the previous ones. Hence those covered front fascia, camouflaged dashboard, (and not badly determined) the rear can be witnessed in a tweaked form, which earlier the rear was looking as if Mahindra had forgotten to design it in the initial designing stage.

However, one can also claim that alloys are also new, and they are keen on the test-run.

Lest, a scoop on the bonnet to be experienced assimilating swiftly with those bullying signature front grille slats. We can expect the engineers at R&D center maybe spending a tough time in designing the new face of company’s bread and butter; a minute fallacy can take away the market from it due to the unprecedented behavior of customer regarding the “change”.

However, we are not yet informed about its price tags yet, but there lies possibility that it maybe notched some of the grands premium than our top-end variant of Scorpio.

The beige-tan leather upholstery and other interior trims, leather draped steering wheel and gear knob, chromed alloys, integrated roof-mounted DVD player with 9” screen, are some of the changes that the Special Edition will have. Safety also remains a promise for the assorted customer of Scorpio, dual front SRS airbags are embedded to do its job blissfully.

Chequered flag decals on the front bumpers and front doors with a “Special Edition” sticker at rear is made to appeal Indians in the masses.

Engine is not given any of the treatment; it remains quite same with the 2.2 litre mHawk diesel producing 120bhp and 290 Nm of torque having a 5-speed manual gearbox at the bay.

Meanwhile, the Scorpio facelift is also there under the test, which can debut sometime in the coming years.
