The Scorpio, an iconic product for Mahindra, has achieved a significant milestone with the production of 900,000 units. This SUV holds a special place in the brand’s lineup and remains its most valued offering.
Origins and Evolution
The Scorpio first made its debut more than 20 years ago in June 2002 with the launch of the original first-generation model. This version was developed from the ground up, featuring a new platform, modern interiors, and innovative features for its time. The first-generation Scorpio showcased the trademark classic lines that can still be seen in the Scorpio Classic today. It initially came equipped with a 2.6L diesel engine and a petrol variant, and over the years, it received continuous updates.
Advancements and Upgrades
As time progressed, the Scorpio underwent significant advancements and upgrades. It received an automatic transmission for the first time, along with new safety features. In 2014, the second-generation model was introduced, representing a major revamp with all-new body panels and additional features. This generation also marked the launch of the 2.2L mHawk diesel engine, and subsequent updates provided a significant power boost and further enhancements.
The Revolution: Scorpio N
In June of the previous year, the Scorpio brand witnessed its biggest-ever revolution with the introduction of the Scorpio N. This new model took the Scorpio in a new direction, combining ruggedness with a premium SUV experience. It was built on a new platform and offered a powerful petrol engine, a diesel engine, and automatic transmission options for both. The interiors of the Scorpio N are more luxurious, equipped with premium features. The model gained immense popularity, with massive bookings within minutes of its launch, leading to a high waiting period.
Continuing Popularity
The Scorpio has maintained its popularity due to its unique positioning in the market. It is a large body-on-frame SUV available at a price point that surpasses any other SUV offering similar credentials. Alongside the Scorpio N, Mahindra has also kept the original Scorpio intact with the Scorpio Classic variant. With the production milestone of 900,000 units achieved, it is evident that the Scorpio’s popularity will continue to grow.
