Mahindra confirms two facelifted SUV launches for 2026

Mahindra has confirmed that it will introduce two facelifted SUVs in India in calendar year 2026, continuing its product refresh strategy after an already busy rollout this year. Out of the five models the company had planned, three — the XUV 7XO, XEV 9S and BE 6 Formula E Edition — have already reached showrooms. Speaking about the roadmap, Rajesh Jejurikar, CEO of Mahindra’s Auto & Farm Sector, clarified that the remaining launches will be refreshes rather than all-new nameplates. While the company has not officially revealed the models, industry expectations point to an update for the Scorpio-N as one of the candidates. The refreshed Scorpio-N is likely to get mild styling tweaks, including a revised front end, updated bumper design and new alloy wheels. Inside, it could adopt a larger touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster similar to the newer Mahindra models. The second facelift is expected to be the updated three-door Thar, which remains one of Mahindra’s strongest lifestyle offerings.
