Mahindra has taken the wraps off of its Global Pik Up concept which looks to be based on the Scorpio N SUV.

Mahindra & Mahindra has showcased its new Global Pik Up concept at the company’s annual event in Cape Town. The concept is based on the Scorpio N SUV and will come with a new-generation ladder frame platform which should make the Global Pik Up concept off-road friendly. Codenamed Z121, the Global Pik Up concept has been designed at the Mahindra India Design Studio (MIDS). The homegrown automaker claims that the pickup concept reflects Mahindra's interpretation of an authentic lifestyle pickup.

Our move with the Global Pik Up is poised to not only reinforce our presence in existing markets but also pave the way to new frontiers. It stands as an embodiment of what we aim to offer, an invitation to Live Unlimited, Explore Boundlessly, and Embrace Freedom."

R Velusamy, President – Automotive Technology and Product Development, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said, “This Global Pik Up from Mahindra, based on the Tough & Versatile New Gen Ladder Frame platform is engineered to deliver performance, safety, utility, and robust capability. The core principles of this concept lie in crafting a multifaceted vehicle for the contemporary era. Its blend of versatility and capability is fortified by state-of-the-art technologies such as Level-2 ADAS, immersive infotainment, and more.

Pratap Bose, Chief Design Officer, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., said, "Design is the cornerstone of our success, shaping our identity and paving the way for our global acceptance. The Global Pik Up’s rugged, dependable, and purposeful appearance appeals universally, reflecting a desire for adventure and exploration. The satin-finish titanium-gold paint highlights the vehicle's ultra-durable New Gen Ladder Frame platform, embodying the ‘GO FAR’ aspirations that define this Mahindra Pik Up.

On the design front, the images reveal a fairly modified Scorpio N with a cargo bed at the back with the space being used to carry two spare tyres. The rear design is different from that of the conventional Scorpio N SUV, and there are two tow hooks in the back as well as the front. The front fascia is similar to the Scorpio N and gets a snorkel as well as a luggage rack on top with orange inserts all around the body of the Global Pik Up concept. There are unique steps on each side of the concept along with a 5-spoke alloy wheel design.

Furthermore, Mahindra will equip the Global Pik Up concept with goodies such as Level-2 ADAS, Trailer Sway Mitigation, All-Around Airbag Protection, Drowsy Driver Detection, 5G Connectivity, and a whole lot more. Mahindra also promises that the Global Pik Up concept will come with drive modes, semi-automatic parking, sunroof and an immersive audio experience. The company also claims that the Global Pik Up concept will get a 5-star safety rating along with Mahindra's intelligent 4Xplore four-wheel-drive system.

Mahindra has designed the Global Pik Up concept as an international product, and has also mentioned a range of new products in mind for the near future. The initial launch will take place in existing markets such as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and parts of the Middle East and African continent. Post the launch in already existing markets, the Global Pik Up concept will make its way to ASEAN markets like Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is expected that Mahindra will bring the Global Pik Up concept to India sometime in the near future, as well.
