Mahindra Scorpio N Pik Up Truck Spotted Testing for the First Time in India

Not so long ago, the new Mahindra Scorpio N Pik Up's exterior design was revealed via a patent image, showing the same rugged design as the Scorpio N Pik Up concept – which was showcased at the August 2023 Mahindra event in South Africa. However, more recently, the Scorpio N-based pickup truck has been spotted testing for the first time in India. The test mule is heavily camouflaged, but just a look at the missing kink in its C-pillar, circular fuel filler cap, and the positioning of the tailgate handle is enough to suggest that this recently spotted Scorpio N Pik Up is different from what we saw in the concept vehicle and in the patent image. Other visible elements include an integrated roll bar for protection, regular taillights derived from the first-generation Scorpio, and dual-tone alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, the patent image tells us that the pickup truck features a redesigned grille, LED DRLs and headlight clusters, a high snorkel on the driver's side, and a set of extra LED lights. In terms of dimensions, the Pik Up will measure 5,380mm in length and feature a wheelbase of 3,110mm.

Underneath the skin, the Scorpio N will get a new mHawk 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine mated to either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AT transmission. Nestled within a high-strength steel ladder frame chassis, this engine is capable of cranking out 170bhp and 400Nm of peak torque.
