Mahindra has pulled the covers off its long-awaited lifestyle pickup truck based on the 2023 Global Pik Up concept, christening it the Scorpio Lifestyler. Underpinned by the same body-on-frame chassis as that of the Scorpio N, the Scorpio Lifestyler will butt heads with the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max V-Cross in India. The pickup truck will be sold in several global markets too, where it’ll drop the ‘Scorpio’ branding and just be known as the Lifestyler.
Prices for the Mahindra Scorpio Lifestyler are confirmed to start below Rs 19.79 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, with launch pegged by April 2027. The Scorpio Lifestyler would therefore undercut its rivals significantly, both of which start above Rs 25 lakh.
Mahindra Scorpio Lifestyler exterior design
Up front, the Scorpio Lifestyler has high-set LED headlamps with L-shaped DRL signatures, a wide honeycomb-patterned grille with chrome accents, and a ‘Scorpio’ wordmark on the leading edge of the bonnet. Underneath, there’s a muscular skid plate bearing ‘Mahindra’ lettering, a meshed air dam, and vertically oriented LED fog lamps.
Over to the side, the Scorpio Lifestyler features a double-cab configuration, and gets dual-tone alloy wheels shod in off-road tyres, chunky side cladding, roof rails, and a kinked beltline. The rear end of the Scorpio Lifestyler is characterised by vertically oriented LED tail-lamps housing C-shaped DRLs, which flank a large ‘Mahindra’ wordmark molded into the bootlid. Below, the bumper looks similarly rugged to the one up front.
Mahindra Scorpio Lifestyler interior and features
Inside, the Scorpio Lifestyler is much more upmarket than its rugged exterior suggests. The dashboard prominently sports a portrait-oriented infotainment touchscreen flanked by AC vents, below which there’s a climate control panel and various physical controls. Ahead of the driver sits a three-spoke steering wheel and a digital driver’s display, while the transmission tunnel features lots more physical controls. In terms of creature comforts, the Scorpio Lifestyler is likely to pack wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, connected car tech, terrain modes, and more.
