Mahindra Scorpio Nameplate Crosses 9 Lakh Sales

It is worth mentioning that the Scorpio is still the 2nd best-selling Mahindra ever, since the Bolero continues to lead the charts with lifetime sales upwards of 14 lakh. The new Scorpio N is currently one of the hottest selling Mahindra SUVs and commands a waiting period of over a year for select variants. Its predecessor, which is on sale as the Scorpio Classic, is also posting strong sales thanks to its cult fanbase.
