Mahindra has showcased its latest innovation – a pickup concept based on the Scorpio-N model – during South Africa’s Independence Day celebrations.
Designed for global markets, this pickup has been expertly crafted by Mahindra at their India Design Studio (MIDS).
Drawing inspiration from the Scorpio-N, the pickup boasts resemblances in its headlights, bonnet, fenders, and front doors.
Notably, an attention-grabbing pop-out grille and a striking LED light bar adorn the front of the vehicle, adding to its bold aesthetics.
The unmistakable ‘Mahindra’ logo is emblazoned on the tailgate. At the rear, the bumper features two tow hooks, and a convenient ladder is positioned centrally for easy access to the load bed.
The pixel-like design of the tail-lights adds a unique touch. A recent teaser release by the company has unveiled every aspect of this exciting pickup.
Impressive Features
Mahindra promises a wealth of advanced features and technology in the Global pickup concept. Expect Level-2 ADAS, semi-automatic parking, and cutting-edge 5G-based connectivity features.
The pickup also offers the luxury of a sunroof, while trailer sway mitigation enhances safety during towing. An ESP feature further contributes to a secure driving experience.
Engine and Transmission
Under the hood, the Global pickup will be powered by the state-of-the-art Gen-II all-aluminum mHawk diesel engine. Drivers can choose between a responsive 6-speed manual gearbox or an Aisin-sourced 6-speed automatic transmission.
This versatile pickup will offer 4WD capability along with shift-on-the-fly convenience, featuring four distinct drive modes.
Diesel and Petrol Variants
Primarily targeting key markets like South Africa, Australia, and India, the production version of the pickup will be available with a diesel engine. For other ASEAN nations where demand for petrol pickups is strong, Mahindra plans to introduce petrol variants by the year 2025.
This strategic move ensures that the Mahindra Global Pickup will cater to a wide range of preferences and requirements across different regions.
