2018 Mahindra Scorpio (facelift) seen sporting new wheels & bumpers

Spy pictures of the 2018 Mahindra Scorpio facelift continue to surface online as the official launch nears. Fresh images of lightly camouflaged test mules have been shared by Motoroids revealing details of the redesigned nose.

The Mahindra Scorpio facelift features a new toothed grill. Lower down, the bumper gets revised enclosures housing circular fog lamp units. Other noticeable changes include new  5-spoke alloy wheels. Previous spy pictures of the 2018 Mahindra Scorpio have revealed a revised tail lamp cluster with red tint stop lamp glass replacing the clear lens glass present currently.

Unconfirmed media reports point towards an increase of 20 bhp in the power output of the 2.2 L mHawk diesel that does duty on the Scorpio. The Scorpio facelift is also expected to reintroduce automatic variants armed with an Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic transmission. 4WD will continue to be offered.

The Scorpio will also gain a new 7-inch touchscreen with Connected Apps and Ecosense. All Mahindra products will receive Android Auto within September 2018 as confirmed by a report that emerged last month. However, the same report adds that the Scorpio facelift will not get the feature at the time of its launch.
