After the excitement around the Mahindra Thar 3-door facelift, the Indian SUV market is buzzing again. The first glimpse of the new Scorpio N facelift, dubbed the Big Daddy of SUVs, has emerged. Originally launched in 2022, the Scorpio N is now preparing for its mid-cycle update, promising premium looks, advanced features, and tougher road presence.

Why the Scorpio N is Trending

The Scorpio N remains one of India’s most popular mid-size SUVs, with strong sales and a loyal fan base. Both existing owners and new buyers are eagerly awaiting the facelifted model, expected to launch in early to mid-2026. It might also be showcased at the 2026 India Mobility Auto Expo. Mahindra aims to make it even more appealing with design tweaks and feature upgrades.

Exterior Makeover

The new Scorpio N could get:

  • A redesigned front grille

  • Updated LED headlights with a unique DRL design

  • Possibly a panoramic sunroof

  • More rugged styling to strengthen its road presence

Additionally, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), currently available only in the top-spec variant, may be rolled out across more variants for improved safety.

Interior and Tech Upgrades

Inside, the facelifted Scorpio N could see:

  • A larger touchscreen infotainment system

  • A fully digital TFT instrument cluster

  • Ventilated captain seats in the 6-seater variant

  • A premium Harman Kardon sound system

These upgrades are aimed at making the Scorpio N more tech-savvy and comfortable.

Engine and Performance

The engine lineup is expected to remain the same:

  • 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine

  • 2.2-liter diesel engine
    Both options will continue with manual and automatic transmissions, along with 4WD variants. Mahindra may fine-tune these engines for smoother performance, quieter operation, and better throttle response.

The Scorpio N facelift 2026 is shaping up to be a feature-packed, premium SUV designed to compete aggressively in the mid-size SUV segment, keeping fans and buyers on their toes.
