Mahindra is up to something again. 2026 started with the XUV 7XO. And of course, the internet is flooded with spy shots. Scorpio-N facelift? That’s the next big thing. Don’t expect a complete redesign. It’s more like a careful nudge in the right direction.

So here’s what I think really matters. And trust me, I’ve driven enough of these to know what changes actually hit you on the road.
1. Front-End Gets a Little Edge
Look at the Scorpio-N, it’s familiar. But those spy shots tell a story. Grille now has horizontal slats. Lower bumper looks a bit sharper. The chunky LEDs and C-shaped fog lamps? Same old. Upright, tough. That’s the vibe. I remember driving an early Scorpio-N prototype. Front looked off in certain light. Dealer just laughed and said, “Wait till we tweak the bumper.” Little things, man. They change the whole attitude.
2. Wheels and Rear Small, But Noticeable
Side view bam! New 18-inch alloys with a simple 5-spoke design. Sophisticated? Yeah. But stance unchanged. Rear is still secretive. I’m guessing updated LED tail-lamps and minor bumper tweaks. I swear, small stuff like that makes SUVs look fresh without turning them into something unrecognizable. Had this happen with a Thar test drive once. Subtle tweaks. Massive impact.
3. Bigger Infotainment Screen Finally!
Inside, the big eye-catcher: 10.25-inch touchscreen. Current 8-inch? Feels tiny now. Center console got a makeover to fit it. Sleek. Modern. Feels techy. And good thing physical buttons and knobs remain. Imagine driving a bumpy road with full-touch. Nightmare. I’ve been there with XUV 7XO. Tactile wins every time.
4. Reworked Center Console
AC vents now horizontal. Satin silver surrounds. Console suddenly looks premium. Funny story dealer once said People still love buttons, not just screens. He was right. Sitting in a car for hours, tactile controls save your sanity. Little changes like this? They actually matter more than you think.

5. Digital Cluster Welcome to 2026
Analogue dials? Gone. 7-inch MID? Gone. 10.25-inch digital cluster in. Thar Roxx vibes. Steering? Flat-bottom, same brown-black theme. Engine? 203 hp petrol, 175 hp diesel. 6-speed manual and automatic. 4x4 for higher diesel trims. And if Mahindra adds the DaVinci dampers from XUV 7XO oh boy. Comfort goes up a notch. I drove that setup once. Felt smoother than expected. Real difference, not just numbers.
Honestly, the facelift is subtle. But subtle doesn’t mean boring. On-road, these tweaks will change how Scorpio-N feels, looks, even sounds. My advice don’t just read. Go drive. Specs are one thing, road experience? Entirely different story.
