Mahindra Scorpio.e and Bolero.e
In August 2023, Mahindra also showcased the Thar.e concept which is based on Mahindra's own INGLO platform. The INGLO (INdia GLObal) is suitable for cars with a wheelbase between 2,775 mm and 2975mm. There is a possibility that Mahindra will utilize the INGLO platform for the upcoming Scorpio.e and Bolero.e. We are saying this because, the presently available Scorpio N comes with a wheelbase of 2750mm, while the current Bolero gets a 2,680mm long wheelbase. It means both of these SUVs are suitable to be made with the INGLO platform.

Both Scorpio.e and Bolero.e will expectedly derive their powertrain from their sister SUVs such as XUV.e and Thar.e. The Mahindra Thar.e concept showcased last year had a 109 bhp/135 Nm - front and a 286 hp/535Nm rear setup with AWD configuration. However, the brand remained tight-lipped on the battery details during the showcase. The Thar.e will expectedly get a 60kWh (325 km) or 80 kWh (435-450 km) battery pack.
