It’s a completely new face on the Scorpio Classic. Mahindra’s new twin peaks logo finds a place on the redesigned grille while the front bumpers are also new. That’s not all, the SUV gets a revised set of LED projector headlamps along with new fog lamps as well as DRLs. View in profile and you’ll see the redesigned 17-inch wheels while the new dual tone look of the classic makes the Scorpio look more premium than earlier.

The cabin gets its share of changes though it is nowhere close to the feature rich cabin of the Scorpio-N. A highlight is the new and bigger 9-inch touchscreen which is clear and responsive. The new dual-tone black and beige theme replaces the dark theme seen on the car earlier. You get a leatherette wrapped steering wheel along with audio controls, though most of these features are only being offered in the higher Classic S11 variants. You also get a part digital, part analogue instrument cluster apart from a height adjustable drivers seat. The 2nd row gets the option of captain seats and a bench seat, however the former is only available on the higher Classic S11. On the 3rd row you can choose between a front facing bench seat or 2 or 4 side facing seats, which sadly comes without seatbelts.
