Mahindra Scorpio Classic S5 Launch Soon

Fans of the Scorpio Classic can rejoice as Mahindra will continue to sell the C-segment SUV in 2023. While it is currently available in base S and S11 top-spec variants, the carmaker plans to add a new S5 middle variant. The new S5 variant will make the Scorpio Classic more accessible to the buyers who want basic features but do not want to stretch their budget for the S11 variant.
