The Indian Army-spec Scorpio Classic gets a glossy green paint job along with black cladding all around. The latest addition to the Indian Army’s fleet of vehicles features the older 7-slat grille and 5-spoke alloy wheels rather than ones seen on the recently launched Scorpio Classic. Apart from these changes, the vertical portion of the Scorpio Classic’s taillamps have been replaced by plastic units while Mahindra have retailed the roof rails and roof spoiler.

While the Indian Army nor Mahindra have divulged the powertrain specifications of the Scorpio Classic 4WD, we expect it to be powered by the 140PS 2.2L turbo diesel engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. The Scorpio Classic, on the other hand, comes with a 130PS 2.2L turbo diesel engine with rear-wheel drive.

On the inside, the army-spec Scorpio gets a touchscreen infotainment system and grey and black dual-tone interiors. Furthermore, it could also feature some Indian Army exclusive features that could be revealed closer to the official announcement.

The Indian Army plan to replace 35,000 units of Gypsy SUVs from their fleet in a phased manner. Vehicles like the Tata Xenon and Safari Strome already serve the Indian Army and Mahindra’s Scorpio Classic will soonenter the fleet and serve the country.
