The freshly unveiled Mahindra Scorpio N-based pickup concept showcases various off-road design modifications compared to the SUV
Continuing its tradition of grand showcases on India’s Independence Day, Mahindra took the stage in South Africa this time. One of the two models unveiled was the Mahindra Scorpio N-based pickup, presented in concept form as the ‘Global Pik Up.’
Design Features
The most evident design similarity with the Scorpio N is the LED headlight clusters, which are equipped with revised LED DRLs. Other design changes include a redesigned grille, vertical LED fog lamp strips, a modified front bumper, and a new rear section for the payload bay. The concept also boasts a high ground clearance and a winch housed in the new front bumper.
The pickup retains the SUV’s door panels, ORVMs, and windowline kink. In terms of additional features, the reveal-specification model comes with a high snorkel, a roof rack with auxiliary LED lighting, sidesteps, and rugged off-road-specific alloy wheels (with a pair stacked in the loading area). Its back features an opening gate for the payload bay with the ‘Mahindra’ logo and vertically positioned LED taillights.
Features and Safety
While the complete equipment list of the Pik Up has not been revealed, Mahindra has confirmed that the Scorpio N-based vehicle will feature 5G connectivity and a single-pane sunroof. In terms of safety, it will come equipped with all-around airbag protection and some advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) features, including driver drowsiness detection. The Scorpio N’s platform has already received a 5-star rating in Global NCAP crash tests.
