The Mahindra Scorpio-N has carved a strong place in the Indian SUV market thanks to its bold design, solid road presence, and proven off-road ability. Launched in June 2022, it was positioned as a more premium and larger evolution of the classic Scorpio. Since then, the SUV has remained mostly unchanged—but that’s about to change.

Mahindra is now gearing up to introduce the 2026 Scorpio-N facelift, bringing noticeable updates inside and out. While the company hasn’t officially confirmed a launch date yet, the updated SUV is expected to hit Indian roads by mid-2026. Test mules have already been spotted multiple times, giving us a fair idea of what’s coming.

Exterior updates: Familiar but fresher

Spy shots suggest that the Scorpio-N facelift will retain its upright, muscular stance, but with subtle modern touches. Up front, you can expect:

• A newly designed grille

• Revised headlamps with updated LED DRL signatures

• A slightly reworked front bumper

• New alloy wheel designs, possibly larger and sportier

Dimension-wise, the SUV is expected to remain unchanged:

• Length: 4,662 mm

• Width: 1,917 mm

• Height: 1,857 mm

• Wheelbase: 2,750 mm

• Ground clearance: 187 mm

Interior: More premium than before

While Mahindra hasn’t revealed the cabin officially, reports suggest a noticeable upgrade in tech and comfort. Expected highlights include:

• A larger touchscreen infotainment system

• Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos

• Panoramic sunroof

• Fully digital TFT instrument cluster

• Powered front seats with driver memory function

Other features from the current Scorpio-N are likely to be carried forward.

Engines: No major mechanical changes

Under the hood, the 2026 Scorpio-N facelift is expected to continue with the same reliable engine options:

• 2.2-litre turbo-diesel (132 PS to 175 PS)

• 2.0-litre turbo-petrol (200 PS)

Transmission choices should remain unchanged as well, with 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic gearboxes on offer.

What to expect overall

The upcoming Scorpio-N facelift looks more like a feature-rich and tech-focused update rather than a complete overhaul. With stronger premium appeal and modern touches, Mahindra is aiming to keep the Scorpio-N fresh and competitive in the highly contested full-size SUV segment.
