The name Mahindra Scorpio enjoys a strong cult following among enthusiasts. The SUV has been on sale longer than most Gen-Z ones in the country. It has recently been introduced in its third generation avatar as Scorpio-N and has a waiting period of around 2 years. The 2022 Mahindra Scorpio-N was launched in the country on June 27, while the deliveries of the SUV have just started. It is easy to guess that the people of Punjab have started flocking to mod shops to get their Scorpio-Ns shod with oversized rims. We recently got to see an example via Velocity Tires’ Instagram account.
Mahindra Scorpio-N with 20-inch alloy wheels
In the image, an example of a 2022 Mahindra Scorpio-N in Napoli Black paint shade can be seen fitted with a set of 20-inch aftermarket rims, draped in low-profile tyres. When viewed closely, the hubcaps wear the Tri-Arrow logo, giving a fair idea that these rims are inspired by those seen on Mercedes-Benz models. In the comments section, some users have commented that with these rims, the Scorpio-N looks a lot like the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 4MATIC.
