The new generation model has been christened ‘Scorpio-N’ while the existing model will continue to be sold under the nameplate ‘Scorpio Classic’.

Here are some of the key features that are expected to be added to the new-gen Scorpio.
- 4X4: The company has officially confirmed in a recently sent press note that the all-new Scorpio-N will be paired with 4X4 function. Though it is likely to be added as an option. Considering the fact that the Scorpio-N will stand out as an off-road-friendly vehicle, its 4X4 option should come in handy.

- Dual LED Projector Units: This feature has been confirmed by the latest official images. The new model will sport stylish looking dual LED projector units which will give it a very sporty and modern look.

- Fully Digital Driver’s Display: The instrument console on the new Scorpio-N will be fully digital, as confirmed in the previous spy images. This will be a big step up from the existing unit.
- Automatic Transmission: In addition to the 6-speed manual, Mahindra will also equip the new Scorpio-N with a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission unit.
- Driving Modes: The new-age Scorpio-N will have multiple driving modes, as indicated by its cabin spy images in the recent past. The induction of the new mode will add a touch of modernity to the cabin of the new car.
