A test mule of the 2020 Mahindra Scorpio has been spotted testing again giving a slightly better idea about its appearance. The new Mahindra Scorpio will be larger than its predecessor and design updates include a lower roofline and an upright front that should make it look a little more urban. The hood scoop seems to have been given a miss but we now see the slated Mahindra grille that will make an appearance on the all-new version, family face things of course. Previous images of the test mule further reveals flared wheel arches, and a slightly raked windshield. On the inside, the new Mahindra Scorpio is expected to get a complete overhaul. Expect improved material quality and fit and finish as well along with Pininfarina design elements. Expect a larger touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, multi-function steering wheel and other connectivity features among others.
