Mahindra To Launch Scoprio N Pickup On August 15, 2023
Recently the domestic car maker Mahindra & Mahindra unveiled the upcoming pickup truck, scheduled for launch on August 15, 2023, in Cape Town, South Africa. The company has copied the truck from its pickup truck existing in the global market. According to reports the proposed truck is based on the same platform used by Scorpio N SUV. The truck will continue the legacy of the Scorpio SUV to the new heights. It is believed that the homegrown carmaker M&M will also display its future mobility during the launch of the pickup truck.
At present the pickup truck is codenamed as Z121. It will get a longer wheelbase than the standard version of the Scorpio N, thus making it easier to carry large cargo on the truck. The truck is reported to have a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, whereas the standard Scorpio classic has a wheelbase of 2,600mm. The company has not revealed the other details about the pickup, however from the teaser it can be speculated that the truck will be capable of handling all types of challenges on rugged roads.
The teaser reveals some elements of a pickup truck including a double-layered body style, rugged front grille and large wheels. It is speculated that the company will launch the truck in the market by 2025. It will come in both petrol and diesel variants and with an option for both manual and automatic transmission systems. It is also believed that it will come in both 2WD and 4WD options. One unclear thing is that it is not sure whether the company will remove the existing Scorpio pickup truck after the launch of the new Scorpio N from its line-up or continue it by side.
