Ahead of its launch, the technical specifications of this forthcoming SUV have leaked online, giving us even more insight into it.
Here, we have a brief comparison between the upcoming Mahindra Scorpio-N and one of its biggest soon-to-be rivals, Tata Safari
The upcoming Mahindra Scorpio-N is extremely tall and looks very rugged, thanks to its body-on-frame architecture.
