The carmaker has been providing teasers but the latest one shows a few glimpses at what to expect from this new SUV. This is the new generation Scorpio and it is an all-new SUV being based on a new platform plus new engines along with also a new exterior/interior. The new Scorpio gets a new look grille along with the new Mahindra logo while the styling is a bigger jump from the current Scorpio but still retains a few basics like the upright stance - which is similar to the current one.

The Z101 has been in development for some time and Mahindra is leaving no stone unturned in terms of the technology plus the interior while keeping the traditional Mahindra strengths intact.

The engines would be shared with the Thar and XUV700 with a starting variant expecting to have a power output similar to the Thar's 2.2l diesel while top-end variants would have more power. There would be a 2.0l turbo petrol too like on the XUV700 and the Thar.

Both automatic and manual gearbox options would be there along with 4x2/4x4 being on offer. The new Scorpio will have more tech with a bigger touchscreen, more features, and an instrument cluster.
