Exterior Design And Body Style

The latest test mule confirms that the pickup will retain the Scorpio

N’s front-end design, including the grille, headlamp layout and upright stance. The major change lies behind the B-pillar, where a large open cargo bed replaces the SUV’s rear section. The pickup sits on a longer wheelbase, giving it a more utilitarian profile. Steel wheels and a high ground clearance suggest the focus remains on load-carrying ability and durability rather than visual flair.

Interior Updates And Cabin Layout

Spy images indicate that the cabin will closely mirror the Scorpio N’s interior, at least in higher trims. Elements such as a touchscreen infotainment system, multi-function steering wheel and a dual-tone dashboard have been spotted. Reports also suggest the possibility of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) hardware, pointing to Mahindra’s intent to position the pickup as a modern offering rather than a bare-bones commercial vehicle.

Engine And Platform Details

The Scorpio N pickup is expected to use the same ladder-frame platform as the SUV. Engine options are likely to include Mahindra’s 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines, paired with manual and automatic transmissions. A four-wheel-drive option could also be on offer, especially for export markets and buyers seeking off-road capability. Final specifications, however, remain unconfirmed.

Market Positioning And Rivals

Once launched, the Scorpio N pickup will sit in a niche segment in India, where lifestyle pickups are still limited. It is expected to appeal to buyers who want a rugged vehicle for work and recreation. Mahindra may also eye export markets where pickup trucks have stronger demand, using the Scorpio N pickup to expand its global footprint.
