PODCAST: Mahindra Lifestyler bakkie has Isuzu D-Max in its sights
New model set for Mzansi debut in 2027 can gain ground on Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger
Mahindra has unveiled the name for its upcoming bakkie, the Scorpio Lifestyler, which will be marketed as the Lifestyler in South Africa. The Indian manufacturer aims to challenge Isuzu with this dual-purpose vehicle that can handle both utility and payload. While no mechanical details were disclosed at the reveal, the interior featured a model-specific steering wheel, portrait-style infotainment system, and a freestanding digital instrument cluster.
The Lifestyler is expected to share the same engines as the Scorpio-N SUV, including the 2.0-litre mStallion turbocharged petrol and the 2.2-litre mHawk turbodiesel, with torque outputs ranging from 149kW to 129kW.
