Next-gen Mahindra Scorpio base variant spied

The base variant of the Scorpio could get side-facing rear seats similar to the Bolero.

The next-generation Mahindra Scorpio has been caught on camera by Youtuber Mumbiker Nikhil.

We've been told that it could be a base variant of the Scorpio and it could get side-facing rear seats similar to the Bolero. The shape of the tail lamp cluster is also clearly visible in these images. Other notable details include the steel wheels and the rear bumper protector.

Last month a leaked image had given us a glimpse of the car's front fascia. Higher variants of the Scorpio are likely to get a lot of chrome details on the exterior.

The new Scorpio is expected to be based on a ladder-frame chassis. It could be offered with a 2.0-litre diesel engine producing 158 BHP, paired with either a 6-speed manual or an automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive system could be offered on select variants.

Thanks to Sachin Koli for the heads-up.
