What it'll look like as a police car

Currently, cops are using vehicles like Gypsy, Innova and Ertiga. Some of them are also using the Scorpio. This is probably because of the rugged and go-anywhere characteristics of the SUV. Mahindra will be soon launching the new generation of the Scorpio. It will be called Scorpio N. Here, we have a rendering of the Scorpio N as a police vehicle.

There rendering is done by GenX Designs and the pictures are shared on their Instagram page. Mahindra and police commissioner has not yet announced whether they will be using the Scorpio N as a police vehicle.

From the images, we can see that the Scorpio N is finished in black colour with police livery and decals.  There are beacon lights placed below the grille and on the roof. There is also a bull bar in the front. There are also an additional set of lights placed in the bumper as well as on the outside rearview mirrors for better illumination.

2022 Scorpio N

Mahindra will be launching the Scorpio N on June 27th. 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the Scorpio as it was first launched back in June 2002. The manufacturer has already revealed the exterior as well as the interior of the SUV.

We can see that the Scorpio N has an all-new design but we can still see some elements of the current Scorpio. There are new twin-pod LED projector headlamps in the front with swiping turn indicators. There are C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED fog lamps too.

You get a 6-slat grille in the front with Mahindra’s new twins-peak logo. On the sides, there are newly designed 18-inch alloy wheels with a diamond-cut finish. At the rear there are vertical LED tail lamps. The tailgate still opens sideways via a door handle.

The interior is finished in a brown and black theme which does give an up-market look to the cabin. Some components are taken from the base MX variant of the XUV700. There will be an analogue instrument cluster on offer with a multi-function steering wheel. Mahindra has also equipped the Scorpio N with a touchscreen infotainment system that runs on AdrenoX. It supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The Scorpio N is expected to be offered in three seating configurations. There will be a second-row bench seat with side-facing jump seats in the third-row in the base variant. Then there will be front-facing third-row seats with a bench seat in the second row. Finally, there will be captain seats in the second row with front-facing seats for the third row. The captain seats will be offered only on the top-end variants.

Mahindra will offer the Scorpio N with a turbo petrol engine and a turbo diesel engine. Both of them are shared with the Thar and XUV700. The diesel engine will be offered in two states of tune. Both the engines will get a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. There will also be four-wheel drive system on offer.
