Mahindra Scorpio-N Z6
The new Scorpio-N was launched by Mahindra & Mahindra in the country in June of last year, with prices beginning at Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Z6 variant, one of the six that the SUV is available in, nabbed our attention after the company recently started production of the same. The Scorpio-N has been in high demand since its official launch. Within 30 seconds of opening reservations, it garnered a record-breaking booking of around 1 lakh units. On the other hand, long waiting periods have been a result of the supply shortages that the industry faced throughout last year and are still present in some ways as of now, and this is not just the case for the Indian automaker’s Scorpio-N SUV.
