As we all know that Mahindra is working on a new generation of Scorpio. The Scorpio will now look more mature and grown-up than the current one. It will be more equipped and will get a more premium interior that will be better built.

So far, no one has been able to get a proper glimpse of how the new Scorpio will look. This has led to various renders that have been made by various websites. Mahindra has also not shown any concept or sketches till now for the Scorpio. So, the renders help us get an idea that how the new SUV might look like when it is launched in the Indian market.

The first render has been done by us which is based on the spy shot. We can see that Mahindra’s 6 vertical slat grille and a bonnet scoop. The bold bodywork that we have seen till now on the Scorpio is still there. The SUV does look muscular which should give a good road presence. We can also see the prominent rear hips, bulged wheel arches and big alloy wheels.
