Mahindra has revealed a new double-cab pickup, branded the Lifestyler, designed to compete with models such as the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger. The truck is based on the Scorpio-N platform and is presented with a rugged, chunky design.
Both outlets link the vehicle to Mahindra’s existing Scorpio-N underpinnings, but they diverge slightly on the timing and branding details. IOL reports an expected 2.2-litre diesel and says the South African debut is likely in 2027. The Citizen instead describes the South Africa arrival as next year and notes that it is not yet clear whether the vehicle will keep the “Lifestyler” name or be changed for the local market.
Overall, the new pickup’s full specifications for South Africa, including the final engine lineup and official local name, are still not confirmed publicly, though a diesel powerplant is anticipated.
