The first-gen Mahindra Scorpio SUV was conceptualised and designed by the automaker's own design and manufacturing team. However, since Mahindra at that time lacked the technical knowledge to handle such an advanced project of building a modern SUV, the automaker pulled a few strings and hired a bunch of high-level executives from reputed automobile companies across the globe.

The main highlight of the project was that the design, engineering, testing, validation and material selection of the Mahindra Scorpio was carried out completely by suppliers with inputs from the Mahindra team regarding the design, specifications, performance, and program cost.
