Alright, so here’s the deal. The wrapped test mules of the Mahindra Scorpio N-based Pickup are all over the internet now. I saw the spy shots yesterday, and man some things just catch your eye instantly. Seats, dashboard, wheels all giving a strong this is serious business vibe. But let me tell you, there’s always more than what meets the camera lens.

Inside the Cabin Brown Leatherette and a Big Screen
So, first thing I noticed brown leatherette upholstery. Looks good, feels decent, and honestly gives a hint of premium, but you know Mahindra, sometimes the ride tells a different story. There’s this large infotainment screen, probably around 12 inches. Big, bold, flashy. Three-spoke multifunction steering wheel sits there, HVAC controls are all buttons nothing too fancy, just practical. Center console has cup holders. Simple, yet kind of clever. Tail lights have that Scorpio Classic inspiration. I swear, seeing this made me remember a Thar I tested last year software was glitchy, AC wouldn’t cooperate, small stuff but annoying. Hoping they’ve fixed that here.
Wheels, Wrap, and Aggressive Looks
Now, about the exterior. 18-inch alloys, 255/65 R18 tyres. Wrapped mule with pop-out headlights it looks mean. Aggressive, bold, ready to hit the road. But yeah, full wrap means some details are still under the cover. My gut says it’s trying to flex against Hilux and V-Cross. I mean, you can feel the vibe even through photos. Once I saw those wheels up close, I thought Okay this can carry some serious weight.
Under the Hood Engines and Gearboxes
Mechanically, don’t expect surprises. Same engines as Scorpio N 2.0L petrol, 2.2L diesel. Transmission options? 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic. The spy shots show the manual. Looks solid. But let me tell you, I’ve driven Mahindras where gear shifts were stiff, and after 100 km, hands hurt. Hope they’ve smoothed it out here. Drive experience, steering feel, that’s where the real story begins. Can’t judge from pics alone.

Competition and Real-World Expectations
Alright, so this pickup is clearly aiming at Hilux and V-Cross. Tough crowd. Realistically, payload handling, long-drive comfort, and software reliability will make or break it. Insider tip always take a test drive before forming love-at-first-sight opinions. My personal hunch? Could be a hit for fleet operators and adventure folks alike, if Mahindra nails the small details. Fingers crossed.
