AFAIK the storme is so pathbreaking that the only real hassle is that it looks like the Safari, this is what Autocar thinks too. Mods, any gyan on this?

There are more products coming up as well. In the people carrier segment as well as their largest seller. Again changes are not skin deep. Infact there are proper mechanical changes. That is all I can tell you guys keeping myself limited.

That's some good info. Does the largest seller retain its shape or is there a change for good? I mean is it being made a little more contemporary now?

[navpreet318]

The largest seller will be all new.

You mean to say"Ab bada aur behtar.....Pehle istamaal kare fir vishwas kare types . Hopefully changes are Xuv-ish surprise not Xylo/Quanto-fied.

All new? That is a surprise, considering other than the XUV, all other Mahindras are basically based or derived from the decades old Jeep platform.

Any time period to expect the new Bolero? i mean, will it be launched within the next couple of years or only after 2016?

So is the Bolero coming with 4x4 and CRDE engine. ?

Whatever cosmetic changes are offered in the new Scorpio, can they also be applied to previous generation Scorpio by the manufacturer. Is there any such thing by any manufacturer.
For example, in some previous posts read that new Scorpio Lx is coming with side claddings. Will this offered as a upgrade to 2012 Lx.

I guess this is what is called healthy competition benefitting the customer.
Duster and more so Ecosport have forced Mahindra to upgrade their offerings in this segment.

Yes, and timelines please, especially for all new Bolero and all new Scorpio

Offered or not, I think you can do it if the panel changes are minimal. For ex - I have seen quite a few old gen Scorpios with the latest headlights. You can always fit the cladding on an LX. The only problem is when there are slight variations. If the body panels remain same, should not be a problem if you are willing to spend!

Ya, i too have seen an example where a CRDE Scorpio was fitted with a mHawk AC blower mechanism. But this was done by the dealer and customer had come with a complaint on this.
All dealers told me it is possible to fit cladding on Lx for 30K, but i am not very confident on the dealer.
What i am looking at is this being done at the factory itself.
Probably expecting too much ... eh

Ah, yes, that would be difficult. For LX, it will be a dealer only option if the new cladding fits on the existing panels.

I hope that M&M provideds new scorpio with the same engine as in XUV and 6 speed gear box, may be decreasing the height a little bit.

A new spyshot of the 2015 Mahindra Scorpio facelift donning some camouflage upfront; however this is the clearmost frontal spyshot that has cropped up till date.



Mahindra appears to be cross-breeding the Scorpio, Xylo and the Thar. The headlamps and turn-indicators could be inspired from the Thar. The rest of the body stays unchanged from the current edition of the Scorpio.

No IMO. Its running without camouflage for a reason- to fool spotters. I believe they have just put bolero's front grill and xylo's front bumper as camouflage!

Edit: Just read the motorbeam article which confirms it so.

^^looks like the height is reduced ? Anyone else feel the same or is it my sight problem

You guys should head to Nashik. You'll spot a W105 every 5 minutes and standing in front of the M&M facility you'll spot them standing inside the gate clearly.
