As expected, Mahindra will launch its flagship scorpio with a new engine before the end of this year. The 2.2L engine named ‘eagle’ will power the new scorpio. Mahindra & Mahindra is currently developing the eagle engine with inputs from AVL of austria(to whom which Tata developed the 2.2L DICOR engine for its new safari). The 2.2L eagle is an all aluminium high -tech engine with four valves per head and will help the scorpio to meet the toughest emission norms(can comply upcoming euro IV emission standards). In the 2200c common rail diesel engine pressure will be developed in the range of 1500 bar which means efficient combustion and hence a frugal scorpio. Totally, the new scorpio eagle will be a more fuel-efficient, technologically-advanced, lighter and environment-friendly engine than the existing 2.6L scorpio. Because of the use of a lighter eagle engine we can expect improvement in ride and handling of the Scorpio. Initially, Mahindra will use both the 2.6L and 2.2L engines for the scorpio, but eventually it may phase out the 2.6L engine. In future the 2.6L engine will be used only for its mini-bus Tourister. Along with the new eagle engine, scorpio will get few cosmetic upgrades.
