M&M launches the all new Scorpio N at Rs 11.99 lakh to Rs 19.49 lakh for first 25,000 customers

Scorpio, a brand that established strong credentials for Mahindra & Mahindra as a leading Indian automotive maker, started a new chapter on Monday with a bigger and a better model in its new generation, that the company hopes will help in attaining SUV leadership in terms of revenues.

Launched at an aggressive price of Rs 11.99 lakh to Rs 19.49 lakh ex-showroom, Mahindra & Mahindra has benchmarked the higher C and D segment vehicles to deliver more value to the consumers. The company stated that the prices announced are only for the manual variants and it is applicable to the first 25000 bookings only. The vehicle will be available for test drives in showrooms from 5th of July.

Veejay Nakra, President, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd said, the All-New Scorpio-N has been designed, engineered and built to be a game-changer.

“The Scorpio-N disrupts existing product category hierarchies and will be a force to reckon with across multiple SUV segments. It is a global product, being unveiled simultaneously in South Africa and Nepal, alongside the India launch, and will be followed by launches in other international markets in the near future,” added Nakra.

The development and engineering of the All-New Scorpio-N is the outcome of an overall investment of Rs 1,600 Crore which includes setting up a world class highly automated manufacturing line.

With the new Scorpio, the company is preparing itself with a production plan of 6000 units per month. To be sure, already sitting on a cumulative bookings of close to 1 lakh units, M&M had recently announced expansion of its capacity to cater to the increased demand with waiting periods running into 12-18 months.

Codenamed Z101, the all-new Scorpio-N is a completely new ground-up vehicle, with no carryover components of the existing Scorpio, claimed the company.

This allows the All-New Scorpio-N to elevate existing segment benchmarks across all critical parameters: performance, capabilities, technology, sophistication, ride and handling, NVH, interiors and appearance.

Designed at Pininfarina, Italy and Mahindra India Design Studio (MIDS), Mumbai and engineered by the teams at Mahindra Research Valley (MRV) near Chennai and Mahindra North American Technical Center (MNATC) in USA, the vehicle will be manufactured at the state-of-the-art world-class facility at Chakan, Pune.

Velusamy, President, Automotive Technology and Product Development, M&M Ltd. said, the company started the development of the All-New Scorpio-N on a clean slate with no carry over from the existing Scorpio, which gave them the opportunity to raise existing benchmarks.

“The All-New Scorpio-N’s third-generation body-on-frame platform has been engineered to ensure every drive is safe, comfortable and exciting, while delivering authentic SUV attributes. Combined with AdrenoX intelligence, the All-New Scorpio-N is an intuitive, immersive and enjoyable SUV to drive and own,” added Velusamy.

Bookings for the All-New Scorpio-N will open online and simultaneously at Mahindra dealerships on 30th July 2022, 11.00 AM onwards. The ‘Add to cart’ feature for the Scorpio-N will be available online and at dealerships from 5th July 2022.

Bookings will be done on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and will also form the basis of delivery dates, depending on the variant chosen by the customer.

After customers have selected their choice of variant and colour to finalise their booking with payment confirmation, Mahindra will provide a two-week window to amend their choice of variant and colour – in case they wish to.
