This article deals with all such types of dilemmas, so read it till the end to know the answers to your queries.
Mahindra Scorpio Classic – Does India need it anymore?
After the launch of Scorpio N, everyone is speculating if the original Scorpio will loose its legacy. The answer is a big NO. In fact, it has been renamed Mahindra Scorpio Classic and will be available in two variants. The entry-level Scorpio S 3 will now be renamed Scorpio S(base variant). Its second variant would be a top-spec S11 trim and will be loaded with lots of features.
Scorpio N or Scorpio Classic
Scorpio N, a Big Daddy of SUVs, is a 7-seater SUV available in a price range of Rs. 11.99 – 19.49 Lakh. It is a premium product from Mahindra and is getting a good response from the audience. But Mahindra Scorpio Classic has also good reasons to stay back. It will have a 2.2-liter diesel engine, 140hp engine capacity, and 6-speed manual gearbox. But 4WD or automatic gearbox will not be available here.
Multiple cosmetic tweaks have been made to Mahindra Classic. Its grille and front bumper are the same as that of Scorpio N. The Scorpio Classic is positioned below the newer version. It will cater to the fleet and private segments. Unlike Scorpion N, Mahindra classic will offer two seating layouts. Seven or nine-seat layouts will be available in both variants.
