Mahindra trademarks 'Scorpio Sting' name

Will the next generation Scorpio be called the Scorpio Sting?

Mahindra has filed a trademark application for four new names - The Scorpio Sting, Sting, Scorpio Sting and The Sting. This has raised speculations that the next generation Scorpio could be called the Scorpio Sting.

It has been reported that the new Scorpio could co-exist with the current model. Therefore, to differentiate it from the existing model, it could get a new name.

The next generation Scorpio is expected to be based on a ladder frame chassis. Spy images suggest that the SUV could get a redesigned exterior and a new interior featuring a touchscreen infotainment head-unit, new instrument cluster and steering wheel.

Reports suggest that the next generation Scorpio could be offered with a BS-VI compliant 2.0-litre diesel engine with an output of 158 BHP. It could be paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. Four wheel drive is likely to be offered as an option.
