This achievement was accomplished shortly after the Scorpio-N's recent launch in Australia, which presented the SUV’s outstanding capabilities and reliability as the team blazed through the challenging terrain of the Simpson Desert at record-breaking speed.

The Mahindra Scorpio-N showcased outstanding performance throughout the expedition, conquering 1100 sand dunes and enduring peak outside temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius, all within a remarkable 13-hour timeframe. The Scorpio-N was co-driven by Gene Corbett (Total Driver) and Ben Robinson (4WD Industries), who, along with a team of photographers and videographers, documented the epic adventure. Their record-breaking journey was verified by officials from Guinness World Records.

The Simpson Desert is a captivating destination for motoring enthusiasts around the world, and the Scorpio-N's achievement adds to its allure. The stunning scenery, ever-changing landscapes, and diverse flora and fauna make it an extraordinary experience. The record-breaking journey commenced at the crack of dawn in Birdsville and concluded at Alkaseltzer Bore, all completed within 13 hours. Along the 385 km long journey, the Scorpio-N overcame salt flats situated 20 meters above sea level, which presented a significant challenge due to high moisture content.

This historic achievement stands as a testament to the Scorpio-N's impressive off-road performance, combined with the unyielding spirit and expertise of the drivers. It demonstrates how the Scorpio-N, with its exceptional engineering and design, has set new benchmarks in the world of off-road driving.

The Mahindra Scorpio has established itself as a favourite among SUV enthusiasts across the nation. Its class-leading attributes, features and capabilities have remained unwavering across generations, from the original Scorpio to the all-new Scorpio-N and the Scorpio Classic.

Designed, engineered and built to be a game-changer, the Mahindra Scorpio's iconic status has also gained significant share of voice on Digital landscape. In FY23, it proudly claimed the title of being the most-searched SUV on Google, a testament of its popularity and customer interest.

The all-new Mahindra Scorpio-N, introduced in June 2022, has further cemented the brand's legacy by achieving an extraordinary feat. It became the first vehicle in the country to secure an unprecedented 1 lakh bookings in less than 30 minutes. Additionally, with an impressive collection of 24 awards, including numerous viewers' choice accolades, the Scorpio-N continues to uphold the Scorpio brand's reputation as a true game-changer in the automotive landscape.

The tie-up will allow Mahindra to leverage UCO Bank’s exhaustive network of over 3,000 branches, extending the reach of its financing options to passenger vehicle customers across the country.

As part of the agreement, UCO Bank will offer credit to prospective car owners at attractive rates of interest, high LTV and without any pre-payment charges.

Speaking on the occasion, Satinder Singh Bajwa, Sr. VP Head - Sales & Customer Care, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., said, “Our tie-up with UCO Bank will enable us to offer attractive financing options to customers aspiring to own a Mahindra SUV.

The Mahindra Scorpio Classic is powered by an all-aluminium lightweight GEN-2 mHawk engine that makes 132 PS of max power and 300 Nm of peak torque. To further refine the driving experience, a new six-speed cable shift has been introduced in the manual transmission. The suspension set-up has been enhanced with MTV-CL technology to deliver superior ride and handling.

The booking website handled the huge rush of orders well, but there was a brief glitch with the payment gateway provider. Mahindra would like to assure the customers that their time stamp prior to payment is duly recorded on the booking platform, so each customer will have their rightful place in the order sequence and accordingly the first 25,000 will be considered for introductory prices based on this sequence.

Mahindra has announced the brand name of its much-awaited SUV, bearing the project codename Z101, as the All-New ‘Scorpio-N’. It is slated to arrive on 27th June 2022. The current Scorpio which has evolved over the last two decades as an iconic and cult brand will continue as the ‘Scorpio Classic’.

Mahindra says that the All-New Scorpio-N will have been engineered ground-up to meet the aspirations of the young and tech-savvy customers looking for a full-size authentic SUV. Tough yet sophisticated, it will be a head-turner with a bold and imposing design and commanding driving position.

The new Scorpio will boast premium interiors and will come loaded with a host of advanced modern features and the latest technology. It will have both petrol and diesel engines, with a choice of manual and automatic transmissions. In keeping with its adventure capabilities, it will be offered with a 4x4 option.

The new Mahindra Scorpio has been spotted undergoing road testing several times in the past. However, perhaps, this is the first time when the revised taillights of the upcoming SUV have been caught on camera. We can see in the latest spy shots that the new Scorpio would have a pair of newly designed taillights that appear to be somewhat bigger than those of the current model.

Only a portion of the new Mahindra Scorpio taillights is visible in the latest spy shots. It looks like that the lights have been extended upwards to meet the rear roof-mounted spoiler. And this portion is currently hidden by the camouflage. What do you have to say about these redesigned taillights of the upcoming Scorpio? Let us know in the comments below.

While the rear end of the new Mahindra Scorpio would see some design tweaks, the front end of the updated SUV would also come equipped with some new elements. For instance, there would be a newly designed front grille, updated front bumper, and alloy wheels. It is being speculated that the new Scorpio would be using LED projector headlamps and come equipped with LED DRLs.

We can see in the video that the prototype of the new Mahindra Scorpio continues to wear heavy camouflage. However, the clip still shows us some key elements of the SUV up close. For instance, the headlamps of the new Scorpio will feature LEDs. Mahindra has also incorporated LEDs for fog lamps. We expect them to be provided with higher-end models.

The person who has recorded the video is also talking about the stance of the new Mahindra Scorpio. According to him, the upcoming SUV would have a good road presence as it has a good stance; very upright and SUV-ish. And this is when the vehicle is completely covered with camouflage. We are pretty confident that when the new Scorpio finally reaches showrooms, it is going to attract a much larger crowd.

Speaking of launch, there is no concrete information as to when the new Mahindra Scorpio will be introduced in the Indian market. The SUV has been undergoing road testing for quite some time now, however, considering that the prototypes being spotted continue to be fully disguised, it seems that Mahindra is going to take its sweet time to launch the new Scorpio.c

The prototype of the new Mahindra Scorpio seen here is wearing heavy camouflage; similar to the ones that were caught testing in the past. Even though there have been multiple spy shots of the upcoming Scorpio so far, none of them has captured the new SUV without camouflage. This leads us to believe that the launch of the new Scorpio is still far away which makes sense because Mahindra has recently introduced the new Mahindra XUV700.

Mahindra has been testing the new Scorpio for quite some time, therefore, it was being anticipated that the prototypes of the upcoming SUV would now have less camo. However, that’s not the case. Even in the latest spy video, the test mule can be seen in a heavily disguised form.

The new Mahindra Scorpio would continue to have the tallboy stance that has been a part of the SUV ever since it was introduced in the market.

Some of the other features would include a roof-mounted rear spoiler with an integrated high stop taillamp, rear wiper, side-opening tailgate, multi-spoke alloy wheels, and more.

As far as the engine options are concerned, the new Mahindra Scorpio is expected to have two - a 2.2L mHawk diesel mill and a 2.0L turbo-petrol. The new SUV would come with two transmission options - a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. It’s also being said that Mahindra would also introduce an AWD model of the new Scorpio.

While there are no concrete details regarding the new Mahindra Scorpio launch, it’s very likely to happen this year itself. The starting price is expected to be around INR 12 lakh (ex-showroom) mark. The new Scorpio will give some tough competition to the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and the likes.

It has been spied several times while getting tested on our roads. Till now, we have revealed several details about the upcoming Mahindra SUV like its modern features and engine options. But recently, the carmaker has revealed important information about its new SUV. The automaker announced that they have plans to offer the XUV700 with an optional electric powertrain. We still don’t know if the XUV700 will be offered with an option of a hybrid powertrain, a plug-in hybrid tech or an all-electric powertrain. Other than this, the SUV will also be offered with a petrol and diesel engine. It will get a 2.2-litre diesel mill, which puts out power and torque outputs of 153bhp and 360 Nm. On the other hand, the SUV will also get propelled by a 2.0-litre petrol engine that shreds out 188bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of twisting force.

This power plant was showcased by Mahindra last year at the Auto Expo 2020 and is also offered with the second-gen Thar. Both engines will be offered with a manual or an automatic gearbox option. The upcoming Mahindra XUV700 will underpin a new platform and is expected to be more spacious compared to the outgoing XUV500. On the feature front, it will get a TFT instrument cluster and a wide touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. It will also get several advanced features like blind-spot detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist and so on. In the Indian market, the all-new Mahindra XUV700 will rub shoulders with the likes of MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari.

Here we have an example of a 2015 Mahindra Scorpio with a four-wheel drive and automatic gearbox configuration that has been pristinely maintained by its owner. In six years of owning this vehicle, the owner has clocked more than 1,32,000 kms in his SUV and he thoroughly seems to love it. He particularly seems to be fan of the Scorpio's off-road capabilities as he has experienced it first hand while taking the SUV for trips to the mountains. The fact that its equipped with an automatic gearbox makes it that much easier to live with as it also comes handy in tricky driving conditions.

Like any true SUV, the four-wheel drive system on the Scorpio comes with three modes - 2H, 4H and 4L. Although the Scorpio is mostly used as a people's mover in India, you'd be surprised to know its capable of handling the rough stuff quite well. The automatic gearbox even comes with a winter mode which selects a higher gear in snowy or wet conditions to prevent the wheels from slipping. The owner notes that the Scorpio returns an average fuel economy of 17-18 kmpl, which is pretty good for a diesel automatic SUV. As for maintenance of the SUV, a regular servicing of the Scorpio costs about INR 12-13K.

This is the S10 trim of the Scorpio, the then top-spec model of the SUV when it was first launched. Mahindra has now discontinued the S10 trim, with a new S11 trim now being the top-spec model. On the inside, this Scorpio comes with captain seats for the middle row and a bench seat for the third row, making it a genuine seven-seater. For an SUV from 2015, it even comes well equipped with features such as reversing camera, tyre pressure monitoring system, in built-navigation and much more. The only complain the owner has with the Scorpio is its built quality and fit and finish levels. Like most older Mahindra vehicles, the Scorpio tends to rattle when pushed hard.

Mahindra is expected to bring back the four-wheel drive system and automatic gearbox with the next-generation Scorpio. That's because it will be underpinned by an updated version of the ladder-frame chassis from the all-new Thar. The platform can thus definitely support a four-wheel drive system. Previously, we had also come across spy images of the vehicle being tested in high altitude regions of Manali, further solidifying our belief that a 4x4 system is definitely on the cards for the 2021 Scorpio. When the next-gen Scorpio hits showrooms later this year in between October to December, its prices are likely to start from INR 13 lakh and go up to INR 20 lakh (ex-showroom).

As seen in this video, the two test mules are perhaps connected by a tow bar, suggesting that the vehicle is being tested for its towing capabilities. Such drawbar pull tests are conducted on vehicles to measure the net thrust generated by tires with respect to performance metrics such as travel reduction, sinkage, or power efficiency. And this leads us to speculate if the 2021 Scorpio could be offered with a 4x4 drivetrain, just like it was offered in the BS4 era. Now Mahindra has officially announced that the upcoming XUV700 will be offered with a 4x4 drivetrain and there's no reason why the next-gen Scorpio wouldn't be, particularly because it will be underpinned by an updated version of the ladder-frame chassis from the all-new Thar. The platform can thus definitely support a four-wheel drive system.

Previously, we had also come across spy images of the vehicle being tested in high altitude regions of Manali, further solidifying our belief that a 4x4 system is definitely on the cards for the 2021 Scorpio. The Scorpio's similarities with the Thar will not just be limited to the platform. The upcoming SUV will also be sharing its engine options with the Thar. That means it will be powered by the 152hp 2.0L turbo-petrol engine and the 132hp 2.2L mHawk diesel engine. These engines could, however, come in a different state of tune than what is available with the Thar. Transmission options will likely include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.

We all know how accomplished an off-roader the new Mahindra Thar is, and with similar underpinnings, the upcoming Scorpio could combine those rugged capabilities with the practicality of seven-seats. The 4x4 drivetrain, if at all, will be reserved for the top-spec variants. The 2021 Mahindra Scorpio will be much larger than the outgoing model. It retains its tall-boy stance with upright pillars and the overall design seems quite butch and typically SUV. The interior of the next-gen Scorpio will be completely redesigned too, as was revealed in spy images that surfaced on the internet before.

When the next-gen Scorpio hits showrooms later this year in between October to December, its prices are likely to start from INR 13 lakh and go up to INR 20 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival the likes of the new Tata Safari and the upcoming Hyundai Alcazar. That will also put it in the same price bracket as the top-end variants of the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta. The Mahindra Scorpio will, however, be unique in this segment for being the only three-row SUV with a ladder-frame chassis and possibly, the 4x4 drivetrain as well.
