In India, there’s a significant preference for purchasing family cars, especially those in the 7-seater segment, which includes SUVs and MPVs. The Maruti Ertiga has long been regarded as the top choice in this segment, maintaining its position for several years. However, in March, this record was broken as the Mahindra Scorpio surpassed the Ertiga to become the best-selling 7-seater car.
Impressive Sales Figures for Mahindra Scorpio
During the month of March, Mahindra sold a total of 15,151 units of the Scorpio, marking a remarkable 72% increase compared to the previous year. This surge in sales is significant considering the higher price point of the Scorpio.
Market Position and Features of Mahindra Scorpio
The Mahindra Scorpio is priced between 14 lakhs to 18 lakhs rupees, offering two variants with five seating options. With both 7 and 9-seater configurations available, the Scorpio caters well to larger families, making it a popular choice in the SUV segment.
The Scorpio comes loaded with impressive features, including dual front and side airbags, rear parking sensors, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, cruise control, automatic climate control, comfortable seats, ample space, a spacious boot, generous legroom, automatic ORVMs, feature-mounted steering wheel, disc brakes, ABS, and an appealing exterior design.
The success of the Mahindra Scorpio underscores its status as a top-tier SUV
Its increasing popularity over the Ertiga demonstrates that Indian consumers are favoring SUVs across various segments. With companies offering a diverse range of options, SUVs are becoming accessible to consumers at every price point.
The Mahindra Scorpio’s rise to the top spot in the 7-seater segment reflects changing consumer preferences and the growing demand for SUVs in India. As more companies introduce competitive offerings, consumers can expect to find SUVs tailored to their needs across different price ranges.
