As mentioned earlier, the Scorpio will now retail in just 4 variants, namely S5, S7, S9, and S11. The homegrown UV specialists have discontinued three trims in the Scorpio namely the S3, S7 and S11 all-wheel-drive. The 2020 Scorpio will be powered by a single 2.2-litre  mHawk diesel engine in the higher state of tune. The turbocharged oil burner will produce a peak power output of 140 HP and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The transmission duties on this mill will be performed by a 6-speed MT. Earlier, the Scorpio was offered with 2 other engine options as well.

There was a 2.5L m2DICR engine that belted out 75 HP/200 Nm at its max. output. It came mated to a 5-speed manual and was only offered in the now discontinued S3 trim.  The other engine option was a 2.2L mHawk unit that developed 120 HP/280 Nm. This motor came mated to a 5-speed MT and was offered in the S5 and S7 variants, which now comes with the powerful iteration of this engine. In order to comply with BS6 norms, the 2.2 mHawk engine has been given a selective catalytic reduction system with a dedicated urea tank, along with a diesel particulate filter (similar to the system seen on the 1.5-litre diesel unit in the XUV300).
