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.

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.
