The home-grown carmaker is planning to roll out a couple of new SUVs by the end of this year. While the new Mahindra Bolero Neo is reported to launch by September, the 7-seater Mahindra XUV700 will arrive by October 2021. The next in the lineup will be the second-generation Mahindra Scorpio that’s likely to hit roads in early 2022. Currently, the carmaker is extensively testing the vehicle across different terrains and climatic conditions.
The latest set of spy pictures reveals interesting interior details of the 2022 Mahindra Scorpio. The SUV gets an entirely new dashboard with a new touchscreen infotainment system. The info unit will support the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also notice the vertically positioned air-con vents on either side. The centre console integrated control buttons look similar to the new Thar. One of its major attractions is the dual-tone tan brown and black leatherette upholstery.
