New spy photos of the upcoming, new-gen Mahindra Scorpio have surfaced online, and this time around, we get to see new photos of the SUV's cabin. The photos mainly give us a glimpse of the new Scorpio's dashboard and the touchscreen infotainment system. While some parts of the dashboard, like the head panel and the steering, are still partially camouflaged, we do get a good look at the central unit which features a large touchscreen unit, possibly an 8-inch unit. The SUV also gets a new, illuminated instrument cluster with an MID unit.

The dashboard also features vertically positioned trapezoidal central air-con vents, and below the touchscreen unit, we see a bunch of buttons and dials for other in-car controls like - climate controls, and the audio system. We also get to see a couple of USB ports, and a 12V power socket, and a place to store a cell phone, however, it's unclear if a wireless charger will be part of the package or not. That said, the infotainment system is likely to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Furthermore, the gear lever seen in the photos indicates that this test mule is an automatic variant.
