Ahead of its global debut on August 15, 2023, the highly anticipated Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup truck concept has been officially teased. This new offering will directly compete with renowned models like the Toyota Hilux and the Isuzu V-Cross.
Following its tradition of unveiling something exciting on India's Independence Day, Mahindra has consistently presented new models in recent years. The all-new Thar, XUV700, and Born electric SUVs were showcased on the 15th of August in the past. This time, Mahindra is set to introduce the pickup concept version of the Scorpio-N in South Africa, reaffirming its commitment to a global audience.
What can we anticipate from the Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept?
The teaser video offers a glimpse of the forthcoming Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept, showcasing its muscular road presence. It proudly displays Mahindra's new twin peaks logo, along with robust tires and LED tail lamps. Codenamed Z121 internally, the upcoming Mahindra Global Pik Up Vision will exhibit notable distinctions from the Scorpio Getaway, much like the differences between the Scorpio-N and the Scorpio Classic.
Engine and gearbox details for the Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept:
Although the specific powertrain information for the forthcoming Mahindra pickup remains undisclosed, it is likely to share its mechanical components with the Scorpio-N. The Mahindra Scorpio-N is equipped with a 197 bhp 2.0-litre mStallion turbocharged petrol engine and a 173 bhp 2.2-litre mHawk diesel engine. These powerplants can be paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission, both featuring Mahindra's 4 XPLOR 4WD system.
Launch timeline for the Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept:
The global debut of the Mahindra Scorpio-N pickup concept is scheduled for August 15, 2023. Enthusiasts can anticipate the production-spec model to be available by early 2025, offered in both single- and double-cab body styles. Initially, the pickup is expected to be launched in export markets such as Australia and South Africa, where there is a significant demand for such vehicles. However, Mahindra might also introduce it in India to compete with the Isuzu V-Cross and Toyota Hilux.
