Mahindra showcased the Global Pik Up concept in 2023, confirming the launch of a pickup truck from the brand as a global product. A couple of test mules were spotted in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, a single cab version and a double cab version. The front section looked very similar to the outgoing Scorpio N. There is very little demand in India for pickup trucks, so Mahindra plans to export this truck to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, etc.

Mahindra Scorpio N Pickup Design
The test mule that was spotted looks different from the concept version showcased back in 2023. However, it does look good with the Scorpio N front end, with the LED Headlamps and similar alloy wheels. Mahindra may swap out the LED tail lamp for a halogen setup to cut some costs. We suspect the Scorpio N pickup will get a leaf-spring suspension setup to accommodate a higher load-carrying capacity and to make it cost-effective. The Concept version of this pick-up truck had design cues, which made it look more stylish and rugged.
