The Mahindra Scorpio has been given a mild update in the form of a more potent diesel engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Here are some specification details as well as pricing.
The Scorpio S11 gains the 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel mHawk engine which delivers 103 kW and 320 Nm. Previously, it could only muster 88 kW.
It's just as robust offroad as before, with a rugged ladder frame chassis, shift-on-the-fly tech and available in both 4×2 and 4×4. There's 195 mm worth of suspension travels and 180 mm of ground clearance for those wanting to venture off tar.
The vehicle comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, a bonnet scoop, clear reflector headlamps and LED rear lights, while the cabin sees the addition of Mahindra's latest 7-inch touchscreen with satnav. There's also Bluetooth phone connectivity, reverse camera and parking sensors. Finally, there's a leather steering wheel with controls for infotainment, voice command and cruise control.
