Mahindra Scorpio N-based Pickup: What we know so far
Designed at Mahindra India Design Studio (MIDS), the model bears a striking resemblance to its stablemate, the ScorpioN, particularly evident in its front design with similar headlight, bonnet, fenders, and front doors. In terms of its side profile, the vehicle boasts a snorkel, newly designed alloy wheels, raised suspension, roof rails, LED light bar, and side steps. It also features a spacious loading bay area. Moving to the rear profile, one can notice pixelated LED tail lights and a robust bumper design.
Additionally, it will be underpinned by a new-generation ladder frame platform, anticipated to excel in safety tests such as GNCAP.

The new pickup will likely offer the same petrol and diesel motors, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed AT. It will also feature 4WD with shift-on-the-fly capabilities, offering versatility across various terrains, thus getting four drive modes: Normal, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Rut, and Sand.
The upcoming model will get an array of new features including Level-2 ADAS, Trailer Sway Mitigation, Drowsy Driver Detection, 5G Connectivity, and more, including a sunroof.
Upon arrival, likely in 2025, the ‘Scorpio X’ could rival models like the Isuzu V-Cross and Toyota Hilux. While official communication and launch details remain awaited, the trademark has certainly stirred the pot for pickup truck enthusiasts in India.
