The much-anticipated 2022 Mahindra Scorpio Classic has arrived in India. Along with the recently launched Mahindra Scorpio-N, the new Mahindra Scorpio Classic will be available in two variants: Classic S and Classic S 11. On August 20, Mahindra will reveal pricing for the new Scorpio Classic.
The new Mahindra Scorpio Classic receives design and mechanical updates over the previous generation vehicle, as well as Mahindra’s new twin-peaks logo. The 2022 Mahindra Scorpio Classic receives an updated front grille, a redesigned bonnet, and revised bumpers while maintaining its distinct silhouette.
The Scorpio Classic will be available in five exterior colors: Red Rage, Napoli Back, Dsat Silver, Pearl White, and a new Galaxy Grey.
Mechanically, Mahindra claims that the new engine is 55 kg lighter and 14% more fuel efficient than the previous generation model. The Scorpio Classic is powered by the second-generation mHawk engine, which produces 130 bhp and 300 Nm of torque through a 6-speed manual transmission.
Mahindra has improved the suspension setup with MTV-CL technology to provide a smoother ride and better handling, as well as tweaked the steering system. Overall, with the lighter engine, the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio Classic should ride better than the previous model.
In terms of features, the 2022 Scorpio Classic includes LED headlights, LED DRLs, and fog lamps, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels. The interior of the new Mahindra Scorpio Classic features a 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with phone mirroring and smartphone connectivity, a two-tone beige-and-black interior, wood inserts in the dash, and quilted upholstery.
Test drives are available at Mahindra dealerships beginning today, and prices for the 2022 Mahindra Classic will be announced on August 20.

With over eight lakh customers, the Scorpio has an unbeatable fan following and continues to be loved by proud owners and trusted by eminent institutions like the armed forces, para-military and internal security forces.
