Mahindra Scorpio Automatic Variant Discontinued From Official Website

The Scorpio automatic was available in the range-topping S10 variant, while other trims are offered with the manual gearbox. The S4 plus and the S10 were offered with the all-wheel-drive (AWD) option.

The sudden discontinuation of the Scorpio Automatic suggest that Mahindra could ready a new gearbox which is seen in the XUV500 or a new facelifted Scorpio is in the works. The new Scorpio could be offered with a new automatic gearbox.

Some reports suggest that Mahindra is working on a facelift version of the Scorpio and is internally code-named as Z101. The new Scorpio is expected to receive a bump in power and torque and might be powered by the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel unit.

The current model of the Mahindra Scorpio is available in the three different powertrains: 2.0-, 2.2- and 2.5-litre diesel engines. All the engines come paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
