After facelifted Innova; now facelifted Scorpio (launched!)

extreme_torque · 27th January 2009, 16:18

@aggo... I am used to sensationalism stories from that blog. I dont think Mahindra is going to phase out the Scorpio.... its ridiculous to even think on those lines. After seeing the upgrade picture in the autocarindia website, I am sure this is the all new scorpio that vicky is talking about.

raj_5004 · 27th January 2009, 19:18

wished they had not ruined the look of EVEN the scorpio.

Yeldo · 27th January 2009, 19:58

IMHO, the front end treatment of the new Scorpio is a way better interpretation of the "diaper ornamentation" theme on M&M's family grille.

And, from the Autocar pics, it seems that they have no upgraded those ugly alloys.

AyAn! · 27th January 2009, 22:05

looks good except for that stupid wavy grille...spoilt the macho looks on this ride...thje new bumpers look good,better than the current ones with their tacky plasticky projections!!

vinaydas · 27th January 2009, 22:35

looks neat IMO projectors omg!! go mahindra and looks like they finally gettin the electric ovrm's

personally i feel paying almost 11-12 lakhs for a vehicle which is very similar to a one you get for 6-7 is a rip off for the customer atleast..
good that mahindra did this move..
they have positioned scorpio as its flagship model now

raj_5004 · 27th January 2009, 22:45

i hope all this is without a price increase!

and mahindra, please add airbags too, atleast as option.

salilpawar1 · 27th January 2009, 23:00

I beg to differ. It looks much better.

amtak · 27th January 2009, 23:15

I agree with Salil here. It certainly looks better. My wish though, I want the XYLO alloy's on Scorpio. They are nice!

nishant_kingpin · 27th January 2009, 23:23

I think they have made a positive change. Only the silver tooth seems to be out of place else overall the Geometry makes sense.

Mahindra seems to be running hard and fast to gather sales on the fresh appeal.

Three critical requirements which I hope they will address on the "new" Scorpio -

A variant with ABS & Airbags
Improved middle row space (and not by pushing the middle row back) & ride comfort
A 4x4 variant that is available within a reasonable 2 to 3 week time frame & NOT 2 to 3 months!

Oh & yes - all the interior "goodies" of the Xylo.

Hi, Changes except the grill look cool, has any one got the pics of the rear, I would like to see if they are doing any changes there.

Overall the changes seem to be cosmetic only, no changes in the body & styling.

Mahindra is all set to launch a face-lifted version of the Scorpio in the near future. As can be seen in these scoop pictures sent by a Autocar India reader, the changes to the new Scorpio are largely cosmetic. The new grille sports a central 'silver tooth' a new design element that's present on the Xylo and Bolero as well.

The headlights are all new and the 'projector' lenses look terrific. The bumper too is all new and incorporates larger fog lights. The rear lights as well have been redesigned and we hear that there are changes to the interiors as well.

The new Scorpio will only be available with the mHawk engine and the 2.6 CRDe motor will be discontinued.

wont be surprised if the interiors of xylo with minor changes make it into the scorpio

Torqy · 30th January 2009, 17:08

Looks like the Scorpio got bitten by Xylo's rabbit teeth.
If this is called "facelifting" i would like to give their designer a facelift.

that would surely be going too far with innovation by mahindra's standard.

You took words out of my mouth. That naked door hinge is by far the most irritating thing I have seen by any Indian vendor in any car. I mean' c'mon guys, that thing is 1940ish !!!

What rocket science or cost is needed to make a Goddamn better hinge. Disgrace comes close to describing it.
