New Delhi. Mahindra’s flagship SUV Scorpio has achieved a significant milestone in sales. Recently, Mahindra has completed the production of 9 lakh units of its popular SUV from Chakan plant in Pune. The 9 lakhth car to roll out of Mahindra’s plant was the Scorpio-N model, which is a new avatar of Scorpio and was launched in June 2022.
The Scorpio made its debut in India in 2002 and has received several facelifts and updates since then. Currently, Mahindra is selling both the Scorpio-N and Scorpio Classic variants in India.
