The '''Mahindra Scorpio''' is a mid-size SUV manufactured by the Indian automaker [[Mahindra & Mahindra]] since 2002. It was Mahindra's first global model to be built for the global market.

The Scorpio was conceptualized and designed by the in-house integrated design and manufacturing team of M&M. The car has been the recipient of three Indian awards, including the "Car of the Year" award from ''Business Standard Motoring ''as well as the "Best SUV of the Year" and the "Best Car of the Year" awards, both from [[BBC World]] [[Wheels (TV series)|'' Wheels'']].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsgaze.com/24-mahindra_scorpio.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080405064828/http://www.newsgaze.com/24-mahindra_scorpio.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=5 April 2008 |title=" Mahindra Scorpio Suv & Pik-up Range Launched in Brazil" |date= |accessdate=20 October 2018}}</ref>

==Development==
Prior to the mid-1990s, [[Mahindra & Mahindra]] was an automobile assembly company. The company manufactured [[Willys]] [[Jeep]]s and its minor modified versions, with modifications carried out in India. In 1996, the company planned to enter the SUV segment with a new product that could compete globally. Since M&M did not have the technical knowhow to handle such an ambitious product, they devised an entirely new concept among [[Automotive industry in India|Indian auto companies]]. Roping in new executives who had worked in the auto industry in western countries, such as Pawan Goenka and Alan Durante.

The new Mahindra Scorpio SUV had all of its major systems designed directly by suppliers, with the only inputs from Mahindra being design, performance specifications and program cost. The design and engineering of the systems were carried out by suppliers, as well as testing, validation, and materials selection. Sourcing and engineering locations were also chosen by suppliers. The parts were later assembled in a Mahindra plant under the Mahindra badge, being a well-known brand in India. Using this method, the company was able to build from scratch a new vehicle with virtually 100 percent supplier involvement from concept to reality, at a cost of Rs 600 crore ($120 million),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.businessworld.in/bw/2011_01_15_The_Surface_To_Air_Company.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=29 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110116215357/http://www.businessworld.in/bw/2011_01_15_The_Surface_To_Air_Company.html |archivedate=16 January 2011 }}</ref> including improvements to the plant. The project took five years to move from concept to final product. The cost was estimated in 2002 to be Rs 550 crore.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.in/2002/06/29/stories/2002062901670400.htm |title=The Hindu Business Line : Rs 20-cr ad spend to add sting to Scorpio |publisher=Thehindubusinessline.in |date=29 June 2002 |accessdate=3 September 2011}}</ref>

=== First facelift (2006-2009) ===

In April 2006, Mahindra launched the first facelift of the Scorpio, marketed as the All-New Scorpio. At the Auto Expo 2006 in [[Delhi]], Mahindra also showcased their future plans on the Scorpio model by showcasing a [[hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid]] Scorpio with a CRDe engine and a Scorpio based on a [[pickup truck]] . The hybrid, the first such vehicle developed in India, was developed by Arun Juara, a former employee of [[Ford]]. His senior, Pawan Goenka, a former engineer at [[General Motors|GM]], heads Mahindra's automotive division and oversees the Scorpio project. A [[pickup truck]] version of the Scorpio was launched in India on June 2007, known as the [[Mahindra Scorpio Getaway|Scorpio Getaway]]. On 21 September 2008, the Scorpio was updated with a 6-speed [[automatic transmission]].

The Mahindra Scorpio Getaway was launched in Australia in mid-2009, marketed there as the Mahindra Pik-Up.
