Mahindra Scorpio X Name Trademarked in India; Could it be for Upcoming Global Pik Up?

Mahindra has patented a new 'Scorpio X' moniker in India for its upcoming vehicle. While the manufacturer is yet to disclose anything, there's speculation online that the Global Pik Up concept shown last year may receive this name. Following its annual tradition of releasing new products on August 15, Mahindra debuted the Global Pik Up concept during last year's Independence Day celebration in Cape Town, South Africa. The concept Mahindra pickup, which was based on the Scorpio N SUV, delighted onlookers with its robust design. There is no official word yet, but the pickup truck's production model will likely go on sale in 2025. It will first be sold in South Africa, Australia, and the Middle East as a production model. Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming Scorpio-N-based pickup truck. 

Mahindra Scorpio X/Global Pik Up Concept: Engine 

A new generation mHawk diesel motor is anticipated to propel the production-spec Mahindra Global Pik Up, which may bear the recently patented 'Mahindra Scorpio X' badge. Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions will most likely be available gearbox choices. According to industry reports, the vehicle will sport a 4x4 system that incorporates a low-range gearbox and terrain response options. It will further reportedly use a revolutionary ladder frame architecture that is more durable and versatile.

Mahindra Scorpio X/Global Pik Up Concept: Design and Features

The production version of the pickup is probably going to feature a less aggressive design than the concept. Its robust look and anticipated increased ground clearance will highlight how effortlessly it performs in difficult situations. Furthermore, the new Mahindra truck will feature certain design cues from its parent vehicle, the Scorpio-N. Features-wise, the pickup built on the Scorpio-N platform is expected to include a single-pane sunroof, semi-automated parking, and a 5G connection. It will likely come equipped with Drowsy Driver Detection, All-Around Airbag Protection, Trailer Sway Mitigation, Level-2 ADAS, and more for safety.

Mahindra Scorpio X/Global Pik Up Concept: Expected Launch Timeline 

As mentioned, the Mahindra Scorpio X/Global Pik Up is anticipated to go on sale by early 2025. In India, the production model of the Global Pik Up will be a dependable and cost-effective substitute for top pickups like Toyota Hilux and Isuzu V-Cross. Although there is still time for this new pickup to arrive in India, a few other Mahindra vehicles, like the Thar 5-door and the XUV300 Facelift, will make their way to our shores this year.
