For
once, an SUV in the price range of Rs 12 lakh to Rs 24 lakh, ex showroom has
sold (booked) a lot more than cakes. Mahindra & Mahindra recorded 1,00,000
bookings for the All-New Scorpio-N within 30 minutes of the booking
commencement at 11:00 am on July 30, 2022.
This translates into an ex-showroom
value of Rs 18,000 crores or approximately USD 2.3
billion. Since
the booking amount was Rs 21,000 for the new Scoprio-N, the company apparently has collected Rs 210 crore in 30 minutes through bookings alone. That too is a
record by itself.
The Scorpio-N recorded 25,000 bookings within one minute of
booking commencement. The deliveries of the All-New Scorpio-N will begin
September 26, 2022, onwards. Over 20,000 units of the All-New Scorpio-N are
planned for delivery by December 2022 wherein Z8L variant will be prioritised.
Mahindra will inform the customers about their delivery date by the end of
August 2022.
The new Scorpio-N
will be available in both 2WD as well as 4WD and the price range of the vehicle
will be from Rs 12 lakh to Rs 24 lakh approximately, ex showroom.
The
booking website handled the huge rush of orders well, but there was a brief
glitch with the payment gateway provider. Mahindra would like to assure the
customers that their time stamp prior to payment is duly recorded on the
booking platform, so each customer will have their rightful place in the order
sequence and accordingly the first 25,000 will be considered for introductory
prices based on this sequence.
The
introductory prices of the new Scorpio-N variants are applicable for the first
25,000 bookings. The prices for the subsequent bookings will be as per the
prices prevalent at the time of delivery. Bookings for the All-New Scorpio-N
will continue to be accepted online and at dealerships.
The
All-New Scorpio-N has been designed, engineered, and built to disrupt the SUV
segment and redefine the existing product category hierarchies across multiple
SUV segments creating resonance with the urban customers looking forward to
owning an authentic SUV.
The
Scorpio-N nomenclature was carefully chosen to represent the fact that it
raises the SUV game to the power of N. Thrilling performance, unmissable
presence, premium crafted interiors, sophisticated ride and handling, ‘Go
Anywhere’ capability, bristling with tech, having a clean conscience and an
immersive and enjoyable experience via AdrenoX makes the Scorpio-N a stand-out SUV. It is available in variants that include
diesel and petrol, manual and automatic transmissions and with 6-seater or
7-seater capacity. It is also available with 4XPLOR first-in-class intelligent
terrain management technology to transform it into an all-conquering, capable
4WD beast.
