One of the most notable additions is a panoramic sunroof, replacing the single-pane unit offered on the current model. The larger glass roof is likely to be a major attraction for buyers, especially in a segment where panoramic sunroofs have become increasingly popular.

Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are likely to be part of the package, while the premium Sony audio system seen in recent test vehicles is also expected to make it to production.

Other expected feature additions include a 360-degree camera, a 65W USB Type-C charging port for second-row passengers, and redesigned physical toggle switches similar to those seen on the Thar Roxx for functions such as drive modes, hill descent control, traction control and hazard lights. While the cabin receives a comprehensive refresh, the exterior is expected to remain largely unchanged. Earlier test mules wearing temporary headlamps had hinted at a more extensive redesign, but the latest prototypes indicate Mahindra has opted for subtle cosmetic revisions instead. The most noticeable change appears to be a fresh design for the 18-inch alloy wheels, while new exterior paint options could also be introduced.Despite the updates, the Scorpio N is expected to retain its existing three-row layout, with no visible addition of dedicated air-conditioning vents for third-row occupants. Mechanically, the SUV is likely to continue with the current powertrain lineup. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is expected to produce up to 203 bhp and 370Nm, while the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel motor will continue to offer up to 175 bhp and 400Nm of torque. Buyers will have the choice of both manual and automatic transmissions, along with Mahindra's 4X4 system featuring a low-range transfer case on select variants.With feature additions such as a panoramic sunroof, larger displays and enhanced convenience equipment, Mahindra appears to be focusing on improving the Scorpio N's premium appeal while retaining the rugged character and mechanical package that have made it one of the brand's strongest-selling SUVs.Subscribe to Auto Today Magazine - EndsPublished On: Jul 31, 2026 13:13 IST
