Mahindra is on a roll with their new products. Be it the all-new Thar or the XUV700 or the upcoming Scorpio. While both Thar and XUV700 are quite successful as they see a waiting period of 12 months for some of the variants, the all-new 2022 Mahindra Scorpio is yet to be launched. Several teaser videos and spy shots of the same have been spotted and in this recent story by Mahindra for the new 2022 Scorpio reveals that it will be high on the safety too.

Well, they quoted their statement as The New Mahindra SUV Even Makes The Crash Dummy Feel Safe. Now, this is something bold to say and it is safe to expect that the new version of the Scorpio might score 5 stars at the Global NCAP crash test rating. Do note that the existing version of the Scorpio scores 0 stars at the Global NCAP.

Safety features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring system, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat mounts, front seat belt reminder and more will be offered in the Scorpio. On the higher variants, we can expect multiple airbags, front parking sensors, a 360-degree camera and all-wheel disc brakes.
