An updated version of the Mahindra Scorpio pickup has been spotted in India for the first time since its debut as a concept in August this year. The model, called the Global Pik Up project, was shown in South Africa, a key market for the model, and in Australia. The pick-N-Scorpio test mule ditches all the heavy-duty elements of the concept, like the hood, flared wheel arches and extended side steps, and now has a basic two-car layout with a cargo bed.
It does look different from the Scorpio N, right down to the front door. The only difference is that the tail and rear wheels have been moved, so the longer wheelbase is needed to accommodate the cargo bed. The rear cargo area has a grab handle in the middle and temporary tail-lights on either side, a look taken from the first generation Scorpio. The production version has a slightly larger shelf, although it can be reduced. Finally, the test mule is seen riding on the same set of alloys as the Scorpio N.
Under the hood, the Scorpio N pickup is powered by an updated version of Mahindra’s 2.2-litre diesel engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or an Aisin 6-speed automatic. The Scorpio N pickup may be offered with a petrol engine as well.
Mahindra has hinted that it could be revealed in late 2026 and up for a launch in 2027. The pickup will go on sale for the first time in India, South Africa and Australia simantaneously. The pick up will compete Isuzu D-Max V-Cross and Toyota Hilux in India’s growing lifestyle and sub-segment.
