Just like XUV700, Thar Mahindra's new Scorpio-N is expected to have long waiting list.
XUV700 received 25,000 bookings within an hour of commencement of the official bookings last year.
Both Mahindra Thar and XUV700 have sky-high waiting periods on them, reaching up to 11 months and 20 months, respectively.
Mahindra Scorpio-N will be a rugged ladder-frame SUV (with a 4WD option available), similar to Thar.
Scorpio is one of the most successful SUVs in M&M’s lineup after Bolero.
Mahindra Scorpio enjoys a strong fan-following in India, among both rural and urban buyers.
Exisiting Mahindra Scorpio will continue to be on sale – as Scorpio Classic – even after the introduction of the next-genenartion model.
New Scorpio N will come with new turbo-petrol and diesel engines, both with manual and automatic transmission options.
SUV will also include new features such as dual-zone climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 360-degree camera and upto six airbags.
