The new 2018 Mahindra Scorpio facelift carries minor cosmetic changes both on its exterior and the interior. The exterior gets a Jeep Compass-like grille, updated bumpers, new fog lamps, and a set of new design alloy wheels. Also, the rear door misses out on the black plastic cladding. The interior gets a new upholstery. Top-end trims get faux leather, even on the steering wheel and the gear lever. Also, there a new roof-mounted sunglasses holder. Other than this, there is absolutely no change in the interior.
Specifications see a major update in the form of the 2.2-litre Diesel engine from the XUV500. However, this engine is available only on the higher trims. The new motor for the Scorpio outputs a maximum power of 140 BHP and peak torque of 330 Nm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. 4wd is optional.
The Scorpio has been among the oldest players in the segment. It has also significantly contributed towards Mahindra’s overall sales figures in the passenger car market. In its hay days, the Scorpio was seen stealing away all the limelight from the Tata Safari. However, the onslaught of smaller SUVs, like the Renault Duster, and more recently, the Hyundai Creta, saw this Mahindra SUV losing out to the new competition. All this could change with the advent of the new 2018 Mahindra Scorpio facelift.

Even though the 2018 Scorpio will get a more powerful engine, it doesn’t look like the mileage would see much of a change.
