Recent sightings of Mahindra’s upcoming pickup truck, derived from the Scorpio N platform, have revealed significant details regarding its interior packaging and mechanical hardware. The latest spy photographs offer a first look at the production-spec cabin and confirm at least one transmission option for the global lifestyle vehicle.
Cabin Features and Interior Design
The interior of the test mule indicates a premium positioning for the pickup, featuring brown leatherette upholstery. The dashboard is dominated by a large infotainment touchscreen, estimated to be 12 inches in size. Key interior elements identified include:
- A three-spoke multifunction steering wheel
- Physical button-operated HVAC controls
- A redesigned center console equipped with integrated cup holders
- Scorpio Classic-inspired vertical tail lamp clusters
Powertrain and Mechanical Specifications
The test vehicle confirms the inclusion of a six-speed manual gearbox, though a six-speed automatic is also expected to be available upon launch. Mahindra is likely to utilize its existing engine lineup to power the truck, specifically the 2.0-liter mStallion turbo-petrol and the 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engines. The spotted prototype was equipped with 255/65 R18 tires mounted on 18-inch alloy wheels, suggesting a focus on both on-road stability and off-road capability.
Market Context and Competition
While the vehicle remains under heavy camouflage with temporary lighting fixtures, the overall silhouette confirms its identity as a dual-cab lifestyle pickup. Once launched, this model will position Mahindra as a direct competitor to established players in the segment, primarily the Toyota Hilux and the Isuzu V-Cross.
