Mahindra is reportedly testing a new pickup truck based on the popular Scorpio N SUV in India. The sighting has generated interest among automobile enthusiasts, as the upcoming model could combine the Scorpio N’s rugged styling with the practicality of a pickup truck. The test vehicle is expected to feature a double-cab design, muscular bodywork and a separate rear cargo bed. Heavy camouflage covers much of the prototype, making it difficult to identify its final design and production-ready features.
Under the hood, the pickup could potentially use powertrain technology related to the Scorpio N, which is available with 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines. However, the engine specifications and transmission options for the pickup have not been officially confirmed. The new model could appeal to buyers looking for a versatile vehicle suitable for demanding road conditions, outdoor activities and commercial applications. Its potential four-wheel-drive capability would also make it interesting for customers who require additional traction on challenging terrain.
Mahindra has not officially announced the launch date, pricing or complete specifications of the Scorpio N-based pickup. More details are expected to emerge as testing progresses. If launched in India, the pickup could strengthen Mahindra’s presence in the lifestyle and utility vehicle segment.
