He was pretty clear that the New scorp is being launched this Diwali. My guess is that the exterior look is more of a refresh II and the mechanicals are being upgraded. if that were the case, then they would be doing the testing in the present body only and no one would know the difference. Anyways, Like i said, i have no sources in M&M, so if anyone does, plesae verify this info. i am as much in the dark as everyone else here | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I guess this is a ploy to divert some of the attention from the Tata Safari Storme. Mahindra has nothing fresh at this moment in this category to offer, hence resorting to this rumour spreading strategy. Atleast some will fall for it! |

| ![]() I believe it might be the facelift like the new Xylo facelift. I might be wrong, but as far as I remember, the Xylo facelift test mules were also not spotted much in advance like the Xylo Mini and XUV mules. So yeah, Scorpio facelift (with interiors revamp) sounds quite possible. |

| ![]() The news in confirmed. Mahindra is working on an All new Scorpio. Autocar June issue mentions the same. They would be using the same mechanicals (MHAWK Et all) but body and features will be revisited. So we should see a better looking, better handling and LIGHTER Scorpio. - Yes lighter. The main aim of M&M research valley is to make the scorpio lighter to make the engine more fuel efficient & perform better. |

| ![]() There was some news about a Rexton launch for Diwali 2012. Is the new Scorpio being mistaken for the Rexton ? |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() It could quite likely be a disinformation ploy by MM too which is smart too: Look at it this way: 1) This information is leaking out around the time the Storme is expected to launch in a month or so 2) Quite likely that the Storme will do better on most counts than the current Scorpio and if they put this news around then its likely that a lot of fence-sitters will delay their inclination to purchase the Storme and start waiting for the new Scorpio which maybe gives them more time to see what needs to go onto the "refreshed" scorpio 3) No test-mules spotted anywhere in the country. That surely reeks of either absolute confidence in their designs that don't need testing. lol. Or there is no vehicle to test as such. No offence meant to the member who made the original post but just a thought. |

| ![]() No New Scorpio atleast till next summer. Diwali news doesn't seem to have weight. I got it confirmed from someone from M&M. |

| ![]() Someone I know in M&M has confirmed that the Mini Xylo and Rexton will be launched just before and after Diwali. They are hoping to have long wait lists for the Mini Xylo and will be coming up with really shocking prices at launch which will then be hiked later based on the demand, something that they did with the XUV's launch as well. No new Scorpio in 2012 atleast. They already have their hands full with multiple other products and can't afford to spare any time for a product that's doing fairly well. Even the launch of the Safari Storme is not bothering them too much since even they know it's only a Storme in a teacup. ![]() |

| ![]() I don't think a new Scorpio is likely to be launched any time soon. Even the Autocar article mentions 2014. I had received a call from Mahindra regarding feedback for Scorpio AT around a month back but they never followed up after that. |

Infractions: 0/1 (5) | ![]() Some good news on this front (though it is still not necessary that the new Scorpio may be launched around Diwali & the new model may be almost 2 years away): Scorpio to shift gears Quote:
