2022 Mahindra Scorpio Classic First Look: Will It Please The Loyal Fanbase? Review In Pics

With the Scorpio N moving up-market, fans of the current Scorpio have not been disappointed since Mahindra announced from the start that they will continue to sell the current one. Well, here is the Scorpio Classic but with that, Mahindra has not simply kept the current Scorpio as they have also done some crucial updates as we will show you. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

Up-front the Scorpio Classic gets a new look front with a new grille while also getting the new Mahindra SUV logo seen on the Scorpio N and XUV700. The headlamps are new along with new DRLs, skid plate, fog lamps, and even a new front bumper. The changes do freshen up the Scorpio a lot. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

From the side, you will see new dual-tone cladding while there are also new 17-inch diamond cut alloys. We would have liked bigger wheels but the wheels are better looking than the earlier Scorpio wheels. The rear maintains the classic Scorpio tail-lamp but gets the tail-lamp lighting pattern from the earlier Scorpio to sort of relive the classic Scorpio look. There are also new colours being added to the Scorpio Classic. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

The basic design of the interiors are not changed but Mahindra has tried to make it more premium with a new dual-tone being/wood finish look along with a leatherette steering wheel. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

The interiors also have a quilted premium upholstery while the centre console gets a new 9-inch touchscreen while the system gets phone screen mirroring, 16 GB internal storage, hands-free calling, Bluetooth, and USB. (Photo: Somnath Chatterjee)

You can spec the Scorpio Classic with a captain seat option in the middle row as well while there is a 9-seater option too. There is a new diesel engine on offer with the new motor from the Thar which is lighter and gets better low-end torque too along with the promise of lower NVH. It makes 130 bhp and 300Nm while only a 6-speed manual is standard with shorter throws. The changes will keep the loyal fanbase of the Scorpio Classic happy while the Scorpio N clearly has the modern interior plus more engine options while for the price, the current Scorpio will have its own appeal due to the toughness.
