Riding on the success of Mahindra Scorpio N, the SUV maker is going to unveil the Scorpio Classic on August 12. It’s basically the outgoing Scorpio, but in a facelifted avatar and with the new suffix. 

The Scorpio Classic will be available in two variants - base-spec S and top-end S11. We’re expecting the SUV to be offered with the option of side-facing and front-facing seats. 

The exterior visual changes will be subtle, including a new grille with the ‘Twin Peaks’ logo, a reprofiled bumper, sleek LED DRLs on the front profile and new alloy wheels and a body cladding applique on the side. At the back, the bumper will be tweaked and you’ll get the huge vertical reflectors. 

The cabin shall get a new black and beige theme with faux wood inserts on the centre console. It will also get a new aftermarket, Android-powered 9-inch touchscreen system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. 

Under the hood, it’ll be getting the Scorpio N’s 132PS, 2.2-litre diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The rear-wheel drivetrain will be standard, while the 4WD will be offered as an option on the Scorpio N.
