New Generation Scorpio Leaked?
The rear and the side of the SUV are visible in this image. To start with, the entire silhouette of the Scorpio look muscular, butch and modern. The taillamps are wraparound with LED treatment joined by a thick slab. The bumper, sporty skid plate and dual exhaust give the rear a rugged and tough appearance. There is a shark fin antenna and functional roof rails to ascertain that SUV character. The A, B and C-pillars are housed in one casing while the blacked-out D-pillar forms a box of its own. The wheel arches are squared-off with black alloy wheels that give a boxy feel to the side profile. Whether or not this is a leaked image of the Scorpio, if the actual model resembles this version, Mahindra might have yet another winner on its hands.

Specs
The Scorpio comes with a 2.2-litre diesel engine that makes 140 hp and 320 Nm of peak power and torque respectively. This engine comes mated to a sole 6-speed manual transmission. The higher trims also get a 4×4 drive system. It will feature Mahindra’s 1.2-litre direct injection turbo petrol engine that will make 150 hp. There might also be the convenience of an automatic transmission with the upcoming SUV. There are no direct rivals to the Scorpio but being positioned in the mid-size SUV space, one could think of the Creta and Seltos as the rivals although the purpose of these SUVs is completely different.
