Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

If its Face lift why Mahindra taking this much time to test they better to launch this festival season with XUV500 - W4.

The details aren't revealed yet. As the changes are likely to be not just the skin deep, the launch might take its own sweet time. Expect it to get launched by June,2014.

Can you throw some light, Is W105 will come with Roof Mounted AC Blowers,
thats the only thing which is required top priority,

As the rumour says there are significant mechanical changes, the roof mounted AC can't be ruled out.

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

One more Image has come of W105 (Facelift Scorpio)

Here the Grills are from Bolero - Bumpers from Xylo,
Seems Grill & Bumpers are still under design.
Hope the new Grill will come like XUV-ish type without Middle Chrome Teeth.
and Bumper has to be 3D type like XUV not Just a Flat and straight design,

Mahindra MRV Keep the Bonnet scoop, Roof Rails, Side Cladding, Rear Spoiler, Power Windows on Door Pads as Standard.

And launch it soon. June 2014

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

Now the Mahindra Scorpio facelift has been spotted multiple times right from Maharashtra to Manali, which clearly shows there is more than what meets the eye. Mahindra is testing the upcoming Scorpio all over India which means it’s bound to get several mechanical upgrades like a better suspension and improved handling. But don’t get too excited as we can clearly remember, the Quanto was all over the country but that didn’t really help as the dynamics turned out to be very unsorted.

The upcoming Scorpio is sure to get some cosmetic tweaks and the headlights seem to be the most striking change on this SUV. Other improvements include a new front bumper, new front grille (which is straight and not slanted like the current model), new wheels, new tail lights, improved ground clearance and minor updates to the interiors with the addition of new features. This Scorpio is likely to be a stop-gap measure till the next generation model arrives in 2016, taking heavy cues and hardware from the XUV500.

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

Interesting scoop there.

• The Scorpio test mules appear to be early prototypes.
• Can't certainly think of a Xylo bumper on a face lifted Scorpio. There must be some surprises in store, IMO.
• A new bumper-bonnet-headlamp design would give it a new look.
• Other camouflaged areas like tailgate and interiors would probably mean that they are testing out the build quality/fitment of newer design along with the significant mechanical changes being spoken about.

Since there are plenty of these W105s reportedly seen near their Nashik plant, we won't have to wait very long to get a clearer picture.

These spyshots of the Mahindra Scorpio facelift were snapped by our friends at Anything On Wheels. The vehicle was caught testing near Mahindra’s R&D Center, located in the outskirts of Chennai. Like previous spy images, this Scorpio too is camouflaged at the front and rear. However, this prototype sports an emission testing equipment mounted at the rear.


The box that you see here, with an AVL logo, is connected to the exhaust of the car.

The box that you see on the rear bumper is connected to the exhaust of the car. You can also see an ‘AVL’ logo on the box. Austrian-based AVL (Anstalt für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen List) is responsible for instrumentation and test systems, apart from development of powertrain systems for many manufacturers. Our guess is that Mahindra is testing a new component (maybe a catalytic converter) for the SUV.


Mahindra would launch the Scorpio facelift in the second half of next year.

At this point, all we know is that the Scorpio facelift would launch in the country in the second half of 2014. The Scorpio is an important model for the Indian UV maker, with over 400,000 units being sold since its launch 11 years ago. Despite its age, sales of the SUV have only increased in recent times, with Mahindra selling an average of 50,000 units/annum in the last two years.

A next generation model is believed to be under development and we could see it as early as 2016-17. Prior to that, Mahindra will launch an all-new, compact SUV (which has been caught testing many a time) codenamed S101 in 2016.

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

So its not a W 105 but a S-541 as seen in the pictures above.
Think mods should edit the title and keep a seperate w- 105 thread for the future.

I also think this is just a Scorpio facelift and not the all new Scorpio. This is just a stop gap arrangement till the all new model is launched.

I dont think so, because this I guess is not the "new Scorpio".

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

Great going Mahindra! show the world "who is the boss in SUV segment in India".

 

[raj_5004]

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

Good points from the recent pictures:

• The new smoked headlamps can look great
• Grille seems to be better designed
• Dashboard is lovely, do I see a screen in the middle? (Can be a simple double din in base and a touch screen in top end)

Bad points:

• No improvement in rear leg space (expected!)
• El-cheap door pads in the base version
• Same boxy rear styling

Re: Mahindra Begins Development of Next Generation Scorpio (W105)

Facelifted Mahindra Scorpio caught testing, coming early-2014

By Top Gear India
Nobody likes Monday mornings. More so during winter. If you work with a car manufacturer, though, you need to be out testing the new set of wheels no matter what day of the week it is. On one such chilly Monday morning (i.e today), we managed to snap the facelifted Mahindra Scorpio on its test run on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. And we have quite a bit of information about Mahindra's refreshed quintessential SUV-for-the-masses.

It's not hard to take one look at the mildly-camouflaged pre-production example to figure out that the re-design will be more evolutionary than revolutionary, with a new seat of headlamps (projectors available as an option), a new big-toothed grille, a redesigned front bumper and a re-positioned air scoop on the bonnet. The face of the car will be more in line with the more expensive XUV500, and that's fine, as long as they do not slap on one faux mesh grille too many.

The side profile remains largely unchanged, the roof rails are the same as the ones seen on the current car, but the alloys are new units. The rear of the car too should be similar to the current Scorpio. The focus will be on making the car look more upmarket, while retaining the butch persona that Scorpio fans so dearly love.

While we couldn't get a half-decent picture of the interior, what we could see was a newly-designed centre console with new AC vents, a new steering wheel and bits from the XUV's cabin. Again, apart from the freshening-up in terms of design, the aim will be to introduce higher-quality materials inside, with additional features being borrowed from the XUV.

When it comes to the engine, it would seem pointless on the surface for Mahindra to change anything about the 2.2-litre, 120bhp mHawk diesel that does duty in the current Scorp, but the camo'ed Scorpio was being flogged across the expressway, consistently maintaining speeds of over 150kph (and looking very stable at that speed). Which would only suggest that Mahindra may have plonked the XUV's higher-strung 140bhp, 330Nm motor into the Scorpio's engine bay.

Which would be more good news in turn, for more power would mean Mahindra having sorted out the car's chassis and suspension, which weren't exactly what you'd call 'reassuring' at high speeds.

The car that we spotted didn't look too far from being the finished article, and we wouldn't be too surprised to see the car being unveiled at the Delhi Motor Show in February. And since it's a refresh, it shouldn't even cost all that much more than the one on sale right now.
