Mahindra & Mahindra is likely to launch its pickup truck in the Indian market soon by 2025, going by
newsreports, as it has recently received approval for the trademark ‘Scorpio X’.

The imminent launch of a production model based on the Scorpio N model could be a year away. However, the ‘Scorpio X’ trademark hints at a potential name for the final pickup, which will further expand the their best selling Scorpio lineup. Designed at Mahindra India Design Studio (MIDS), the model bears a striking resemblance to its stablemate, the Scorpio N, particularly evident in its front design with similar headlight, bonnet, fenders, and front doors. In terms of its side profile, the vehicle boasts a snorkel, newly designed alloy wheels, raised suspension, roof rails, LED light bar, and side steps. It also features a spacious loading bay area. Moving to the rear profile, one can notice pixelated LED tail lights and a robust bumper design.

The new pickup will likely offer the same petrol and diesel motors, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed AT. It will also feature 4WD with shift-on-the-fly capabilities, offering versatility across various terrains, thus getting four drive modes: Normal, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Rut, and Sand.
The upcoming model will get an array of new features including Level-2 ADAS, Trailer Sway Mitigation, Drowsy Driver Detection, 5G Connectivity, and more, including a sunroof.

Upon arrival, likely in 2025, the ‘Scorpio X’ could rival models like the Isuzu V-Cross and Toyota Hilux. While official communication and launch details remain awaited, the trademark has certainly stirred the pot for pickup truck enthusiasts in India.

At the lower end, working as beasts of burden are the Tata Yodha based on their Tata 207 platform and the Bolero pickup that report reasonable sales figures. The Scorpio Getaway was the Scorpio X's predecessor but neither sold well, nor did the company get through in making it street legal for the US market, despite making efforts since 2010.

With the spurt in buyer's interest in this recreational pickup segment post the launch of the overpriced Toyota Hilux, the Scorpio X could be a game changer. The Isuzu V-Cross has not been able to do well though, saleswise.

If anyone can relate to this, but most Indian pickup manufacturers (obviously Mahindra and tata) make quite unfinished pickup trucks with weak engines. Can anyone name any pickup in India that has more than 100 horses and is both sold and manufactured in India? Also, their beds look like someone fixed a tractor trolley on it they look to be no match with the design of the vehicle and also there are some idiots around me who compare Bolero camper with F150 Raptor. If Mahindra makes this Scorpio pickup attractive and powerful it will surely break grounds.

Lovely vehicle.
But there is a contradiction in these types of vehicles.
The larger mass of people who can afford these kinds of vehicles are concentrated around the cities.
And these larger vehicles are totally useless and simply impractical in the cities. I mean the same goes for the big Jeepy thing that I drive around the city and go to office in as if I am Indiana Jones, which I most certainly am not!
The rural folks and farmers who can actually put these to good use, are much happier with the inexpensive, easy to maintain, smaller and narrower Bolero Campers which can withstand tremendous abuse and keep solidering on.
