| ![]() This piece of old news is making sense now. It could be SCORPIAN or maybe SCORPIO STING. Let's see. My only wish - please spare thought for customers who genuinely need solid ladder on frame UV for rural conditions. A bare basic M2 like varient? Currently chaps like me are surviving on Bolero and Neo. Last edited by zalaps : 7th May 2022 at 22:57. Reason: spell mistake |

| ![]() It would be nice if there is an option for All Wheel Drive or 4X4 on lower models as well and not reserved, only for the top model. It would satisfy the need for a go-anywhere 6 seater vehicle without paying so much. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Last week I was on my way to Chennai from Nellore and ran into this camouflaged vehicle near Naidupet. Is it the new Scorpio? I could not spot an exhaust pipe (The pictures are not very clear. Apologies for the same) though. And it had a surreal acceleration (compared to the ageing Skoda Rapid I was driving.) An eScorpio maybe? |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Now the body on frame D-Segment, AWD/4WD space has been pretty much vacated by everyone except the Japanese and the Chinese. With the Chinese hardly selling, Toyota has become the King of the Segment. Fortuner comparisons aside, there is a huge vaccum in this space and I feel Mahindra will succeed with the new Scorpio. My only wish is that since the older Scorpio has been updated to latest BS6 and safety regulation, continue selling that as a step up from the Bolero/Bolero Neo and keep the new Scorpio as Mahindra's flagship. For god's sake Mr. Anand, please don't launch a W2 version of the new Scorpio. The moment you do that you bring down the product positioning and make the chap who bought the W22 look like a fool. |

| ![]() I like the new Scorpio. It will find many takers and continue to rule its segment (guess elevated segment !) I sincerely hope M&M took care of supply side issues to some extent. We have seen the waiting times of those models. Adding Scorpio to the mix could increase the waiting time for Thar and XUV700. Understood that they can’t delay the launch forever. But launching this at the cost of additional waiting time to other models in the same company doesn’t look like a prudent decision. Only time will tell. |

| ![]() Sorry to spoil the party. This is not New Scorpio but rather re-launch of Alturas. I also got a call from my Mahindra service advisor who had same thoughts. Let's wait and watch!!! |

The silhouette of the front side in the teaser seems to be suggesting otherwise. I don't think Mahindra would want to invest in the Alturas anymore considering they are going to sell off their stake in Ssangyong |

| ![]() Clearly, Mahindra has another winner in their hands. Lights in the teaser reminds me of T-ROC ![]() |

| ![]() I saw one riding alongside me on NH4. There was significant bodyroll on the turns. But the car looks very proportional and smart on road. |

This is a downgrade internally from the Alturas that sits above the XUV700. This looks lower down the chain so Scorpio is the only logical contender. | |
