Mahindra Scorpio X trademark filed, could be for upcoming pick-up truck

Mahindra and Mahindra showcased the ‘Global Pik Up’ truck last year in August. After a couple of months, the brand filed a design patent for the vehicle and now Mahindra has filed a trademark for the ‘Scorpio X’ moniker with a font that is very similar to the Scorpio N in terms of design. It can be expected that the Scorpio X nameplate will be used for the production-spec version of the Global Pik Up truck. However, nothing is confirmed as of now.

The project code for the new pick-up truck is Z121. It shares the platform with the Scorpio N. However, the dimensions of the pick-up truck are expected to be larger than the Scorpio N. The pick-up truck has been designed at Mahindra India Design Studio and till now we have only seen the concept version.

It was equipped with a different set of LED headlamps and tail lamps, a muscular bonnet, a different set of bumpers and new alloy wheels. The Scorpio pickup truck is designed as a double-cab which means that there are four doors and a bed.

Some of the features, that Mahindra revealed are Level 2 Advanced Driver Aids System, online connectivity through 5G SIM, electric sunroof and semi-automatic parking. There is ‘Mahindra’ stamped on the door of the bed. There were also two spare tyres placed in the flatbed and a roof rack that was equipped with traction boards. There is also a winch placed in the front.

There is 4XPLOR badging which means that the pick-up truck will get the 2.2-litre diesel engine that is doing duty on the Thar, Scorpio N and on the XUV700 as well. In Scorpio N, it puts out 174 bhp of max power and up to 400 Nm of peak torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
