Mahindra had promised earlier that it will commence deliveries in the festive season, but the waiting periods are still soaring for the popular SUV, as is the case with the Mahindra Thar and XUV700 as well.

Mahindra Scorpio-N garnered as many as 25,000 bookings within the first minute of bookings opening on July 31, and the booking tally crossed over 1 lakh within the first hour, making the Scorpio-N an even bigger hit than the Mahindra Thar and XUV700. Not just that, the Scorpio-N also set the record of the fastest SUV to reach 1 lakh bookings in India. The demand for the Scorpio-N has been centred in the urban markets as opposed to the previous gen Scorpio, which sold more in the rural markets. Mahindra has also updated the previous gen Scorpio, and has relaunched it as Scorpio Classic, which is expected to pull the numbers from rural markets.
