After protracted testing on public roads, the highly anticipated 2014 Mahindra Scorpio finally witnesses its launch. The overall proportions and body shell haven’t undergone much change, though Mahindra has made significant mechanical alterations to make the new Scorpio, a more capable machine. In its newest rendition, the Scorpio rides better, handles better, gets a more premium interior and comes loaded with a whole bunch of new features.

Design and Styling
For its newest version, the Scorpio retains its familiar overall shape, though the exterior is generously smartened up. The front fascia is all new, with a big radiator grille lined by chrome. The huge mesh portion bears the Mahindra logo in the centre and is flanked by three chrome shards on each side. Eyebrow-style Daytime Running Lamps and a pair of projectors are newly designed, along with a muscular bumper. The raised bonnet now features an air scoop.
