Will the Original Scorpio lose its identity after the release of the new Scorpio N?
After the release of the Scorpio N, everyone is wondering if the original Scorpio will be forgotten. The answer is “emphatically no”. The Mahindra Scorpio Classic and Mahindra Scorpio N are both SUVs from the same manufacturer, but they cater to different audiences.
Scorpio N is the Indian automaker’s higher-end model. Scorpio Classic, on the other hand, is an entry-level product with a starting price of Rs 11.99 lakhs (ex-showroom). The Scorpio N has only forward-facing third-row seats. The Scorpio Classic, on the other hand, has side-facing jump seat options. This allows for more accommodation, & is found to be more beneficial. As a result, we can make the following statement. With the Scorpio N, Mahindra is attempting to entice city dwellers with new technology and features. However, through Scorpio Classic, it will retain its tier II and tier III city buyers as well.
