It has a leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter, tan- and “rich coffee”-coloured synthetic leather interior trim, a cooled glove box, sunroof, and six-seat layout (with two captain's chairs in the second row).

Mahindra Scorpio-N 2024 Interior
The Mahindra Scorpio's cabin is neat and functional.
The 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system is easy enough to operate and the screen is clear, although it’d be better if it were bigger.
The tan synthetic leather interior trim looks good and the interior generally looks nice, but under closer inspection the cabin is missing the storage spaces, USB charge points and build quality of rival SUVs.
There’s one cupholder (between driver and front passenger), the door pockets are narrow and there are few other storage spaces.
With the third-row seats in use, there’s a very small rear cargo area, and those seats don’t fold flat so when they’re not in use they seriously impact the amount of storage space on offer anyway.
If you're considering using your Scorpio as a long-distance, loaded-up travel vehicle – and you don't have six people in your family – then you'll have to consider removing the back row of seats prior to your trips, just to free up more space.
Some features, such as the directional air vents, feel flimsy.
Otherwise, the Scorpio’s cabin is suitably practical, rather than overly impressive.
