Mahindra has big plans for the future. The year 2026 started with XUV 7XO in the picture, and the internet is already flooded with spy shots of test mules hinting at future models. Among these is the Mahindra Scorpio N facelift, which is likely to be unveiled with a series of updates rather than a full redesign. Here are the top 5 key changes it is expected to receive.
Subtle Front-End Tweaks
The basic face of the Scorpio N stays familiar, but there are detailed changes. Based on previous spy shots, the grille and lower air dam now feature horizontal slats, and the front bumper appears mildly reworked. The chunky LED headlamps and fog lamps with C-shaped surrounds are carried over unchanged, keeping the SUV's upright, tough look intact.

New Alloy Wheels, Rear
In profile, the big change comes in the form of new 18-inch alloy wheels with a fresh 5-spoke design, adding a bit more sophistication without altering the stance. While the rear hasn't been fully revealed yet, expect similarly mild updates such as revised LED signatures for the tail-lamps and an updated bumper.

Larger Infotainment Screen
Inside, the most significant upgrade is the move to a larger 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, likely the same unit used in the Thar Roxx. This is a big jump from the current 8-inch system and should enhance the in-cabin experience. To fit the bigger screen, the centre console has been redesigned and looks more modern and tech-forward.

Reworked Centre Console
Mahindra has repositioned the AC vents horizontally below the new screen instead of the current vertical layout. A new satin silver surround now frames the centre console, giving it a more premium look. Importantly, physical buttons and knobs are retained instead of going full touch-capacitive like in the XUV 7XO, which should please buyers who prefer tactile controls.
New Digital Cluster
The facelifted Scorpio N is set to gain a full digital driver's display, likely a 10.25-inch unit similar to the Thar Roxx, replacing the analogue dials and 7-inch MID. The brown-black interior theme and flat-bottom three-spoke steering remain.
Mechanically, no major changes are expected: it should continue with the 203 hp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 175 hp 2.2-litre diesel, with 6-speed manual and automatic options and 4x4 on higher diesel variants. Mahindra may also add 'DaVinci' dampers, as seen on the XUV 7XO, to improve ride comfort.
