2022 Mahindra Scorpio facelift SUV interior spied ahead of launch

The 2022 Mahindra Scorpio facelift SUV has been spotted in camouflage several times during recent tests on Indian roads. While the exterior of the 2022 Scorpio has been spied on multiple times, a glimpse inside the cleanest-looking facelifted SUV has surfaced for the first time.

The 2022 Scorpio review unit was spotted by a vlogger who managed to take a look inside and show what the new Scorpio will offer. The three-row SUV will only have forward-facing seats. As seen on the test mule, the seats are wrapped in leather. There are dedicated air conditioning vents on the back of the armrest for second-row passengers for front-seat passengers.

The 2022 Scorpio SUV’s dashboard will feature a large infotainment unit, likely a touchscreen unit. The infotainment unit is flanked by vertically aligned air conditioning vents. There will be physical buttons on the center console for climate control and more. The driver display is also a digital unit, while the controls are mounted on the steering wheel.

Previous spy shots of the 2022 Scorpio facelift SUV have shown it will come with features like a sunroof and power front seats.

The exterior of the new-generation Scorpio SUV will bring several changes. These include a redesigned grille featuring the new Mahindra logo the automaker introduced last year when it launched its flagship XUV700 SUV. Other changes include LED headlights, LED DRLs and LED taillights.

The 2022 Mahindra Scorpio will be based on the automaker’s new ladder-frame platform, which it will share with its sibling, the SUV Thar. The new-generation Scorpio is expected to come with an all-wheel-drive option, among other trims.

Mahindra will likely offer both petrol and diesel options for the 2022 Scorpio SUV. The same 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine that powers the Thar SUV should also be used in the Scorpio. The maximum power of the engine can reach 130 horsepower and the maximum torque can reach 320 Nm. A six-speed manual and automatic transmissions are expected.

For diesel powerplants, Mahindra is likely to use a 2.2-liter mHawk diesel engine in the new Scorpio. With manual and automatic transmission, the engine can produce a maximum power of 138 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm.

Oppn seeks probe into Adani charges in US: ‘Obvious protection of PM Modi’

Oppn seeks probe into Adani charges in US: ‘Obvious protection of PM Modi’

Following US SEC charges of bribery against Gautam Adani, opposition parties criticise PM Narendra Modi and call for a JPC investigation.

As billionaire Gautam Adani faces charges in the US for alleged bribery and fraud, the Opposition on Thursday intensified its attack on the Centre over its alleged links with the Adani Group.

Gautam Adani has been charged in the US with allegedly paying $250 million in bribes to Indian officials between 2020 and 2024 to secure favourable terms for solar energy contracts. The scheme, prosecutors said, could have earned Adani’s group over $25 billion in profits.

Congress demands JPC probe

Reacting to the charges, the Congress called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into alleged scams involving Adani’s conglomerate. The party also demanded the appointment of a “new and credible” Sebi chief to investigate Adani’s financial dealings and compliance with securities laws.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) actions highlight the failure of Indian institutions to investigate the group. “The indictment vindicates Congress’s demand since January 2023 for a JPC into the Modani scams,” Ramesh wrote on X.

He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of shielding Adani and claimed Congress’s “Hum Adani Ke Hain Kaun” (HAHK) series had exposed the businessman’s alleged fraud and his ties with the PM.

The fact that it has taken a foreign jurisdiction to properly investigate Adani only shows how Indian institutions have been captured by the BJP, and how decades of institutional development have been undone by greedy and power hungry leaders, the Congress leader said in another post.

“All of this is consistent with a long record of fraud and criminality carried out with impunity with the obvious protection of the Prime Minister,” Ramesh charged.

Other Oppn leaders join attack

Other opposition leaders joined the attack. Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale questioned the BJP’s involvement in Adani’s dealings and demanded an independent judicial probe.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh accused PM Modi of allowing Adani to tarnish India’s global reputation.
