The Scorpio you see here is the new, third generation of Mahindra’s popular SUV. It’s built on an all-new platform that is made up of stronger composite materials, which, as we’re told, makes the Scorpio a safer place to be in, thanks to the newly-incorporated crumple zones. This new chassis will also form the basis for Mahindra’s upcoming vehicles. Mahindra tells us that the new platform can easily be altered to make a sub-four metre car ( Quanto replacement, anyone? ) , without compromising on structural integrity. Everything in and about the Scorpio is all-new. The lads at the Nashik factory informed us that the only bits that have been carried over from the older SUV are the doors.
