2022 Mahindra Scorpio N Rendered As An Overlanding SUV In A Bright Yellow Shade

Features functional modifications on the exterior, including some key off-roading essentials

Update(27/06/2022): Mahindra has launched the Scorpion N with prices starting from Rs 11.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India) onwards.

Mahindra’s upcoming Scorpio N will rival compact SUVs price-wise, but It’s a burly ladder-on frame SUV, with a powerful set of engines and better off-road capability than any of its rivals, including the Tata Safari and Hyundai Alcazar. Now, an artist from Instagram, genx_desings, has digitally reimagined the new Mahindra Scorpio N as an overlanding SUV with the chops to go anywhere off-road.

Which off-road modifications does the Mahindra Scorpio N have?

The overlanding Mahindra Scorpio gets beefier black body cladding and a functional skid plate below the front bumper. It has bull bars to protect the fascia and the mechanical elements such as the grille and intercooler from stray rocks and tree limbs. The chrome trim elements of the SUV have been blacked out for a sporty effect, and the plastic trim bit below the air dam is body coloured.

Speaking of body colour, the overlanding Scorpio features a distinct yellow paintwork which contrasts well with other black trim bits including the ORVMs and door handles. It also has a roof bag mounted on the roof rack in case the boot is full.

It gets two pairs of auxiliary running lights on the bull bar which help enhance the visibility of the SUV when it’s dark. The bright LED light strip on the roof rack is more functional for lighting the way on a trail at night time. To top it all up, the artist has swapped out the stock wheels for a set of six-spoke alloy wheels shod with tough, all-terrain tyres.
