Mahindra Scorpio N “Global Pik Up Truck” Spotted Testing – Engine, Features, Launch & Expected Price in India

Mahindra is revving up to shake the Indian pickup truck market with an all-new offering—the Scorpio N Pickup Truck. Recently spotted testing in India, this rugged workhorse is expected to take inspiration from Mahindra’s Global Pik Up concept, blending robust engineering with modern practicality. But what can we expect in terms of performance, features, and pricing? Let’s break it down.

Powertrain & Performance: Built for Strength

Under the hood, the Scorpio N Pickup Truck is likely to carry the same 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engine that powers the standard Scorpio N SUV. If Mahindra sticks to the current output figures, this means we’re looking at around 175 horsepower and a torque figure of up to 400 Nm—numbers that promise solid performance both on and off the road.

Mahindra isn’t just stopping at raw power. Transmission options are expected to include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic torque converter, giving drivers flexibility depending on their needs. And for those who venture beyond paved roads, expect four-wheel drive with shift-on-the-fly functionality. Mahindra could also integrate drive modes like Normal, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Rut, and Sand, making this a truly versatile machine.

Design & Features: A Workhorse with Style

Spy shots have given us a sneak peek at the Scorpio N Pickup Truck’s design, and it’s clear that Mahindra is aiming for a tough yet refined aesthetic. The front fascia closely resembles the Scorpio N SUV, featuring sleek LED headlamps, a bold grille, and muscular styling. But things get really interesting when you look at the back.

Unlike the SUV, the test mule was spotted in a single-cab configuration with an extended cargo bed—a clear nod to its commercial utility. This extended bed suggests higher load capacity, making it a practical choice for businesses and heavy-duty users.

The production model may borrow several elements from the Global Pik Up concept, such as:

Chunky front bumper with integrated tow hooks
A functional roof rack with an LED light bar
Aggressive wheel arches and high ground clearance

All in all, expect a rugged yet stylish machine that balances practicality with Mahindra’s signature tough DNA.

Expected Launch & Price in India: What’s the Timeline?

Here’s where things get a little uncertain. While Mahindra has yet to confirm an official India launch, reports suggest the Scorpio N Pickup will debut in international markets like South Africa and Australia in 2026. If it gains traction overseas, an Indian launch could follow soon after.

As for pricing? Well, nothing is confirmed, but looking at the Scorpio N SUV’s price range and the positioning of other Mahindra commercial vehicles, we can estimate a price bracket of ₹16 lakh to ₹22 lakh. This would make it a strong competitor in the growing pickup truck segment.

Final Thoughts: Is Mahindra Gearing Up for a Game-Changer?

Mahindra has long dominated the SUV and commercial vehicle segments, and the Scorpio N Pickup Truck could be its next big move. With a powerful engine, rugged design, and practical features, this could be the perfect blend of workhorse and adventure-ready utility. Now, all eyes are on Mahindra—will they bring this beast to India, or will it remain an international exclusive? One thing’s for sure: the Mahindra truck lineup is evolving, and this pickup could be a game-changer.
