The Mahindra Scorpio Classic facelift has appeared in a set of digitally rendered images ahead of its official launch. The images offer an early indication of the design changes that could be introduced on the long-running SUV. Mahindra has not officially confirmed the renders or announced a launch date.
Mahindra Scorpio Classic Facelift: Design
The rendered SUV features a revised front grille with a honeycomb or mesh pattern replacing the current vertical-slat design. The bumper has also been redesigned and appears to include a larger silver-coloured faux skid plate. The fog-lamp housings have been updated, while the headlamp shape remains similar to the existing model.

The current bumper-mounted LED daytime-running lights may be replaced by a chrome garnish, although it is not clear whether Mahindra will integrate new DRLs into the headlamp cluster.
Changes to the side profile are expected to be relatively limited. The front-fender garnish has been revised, and the turn indicators appear to have been moved to the outside rear-view mirrors. The door and wheel-arch cladding has also been redesigned without the silver or chrome inserts seen on the current model.

The renders show new black five-spoke alloy wheels, updated roof rails and an integrated roof spoiler with a centrally mounted brake lamp. At the rear, the vertical red element within the tail-lamp design appears to have been replaced by a black insert. The bumper gets a fresh design and another faux skid plate.
