In a regulatory filing, Mahindra & Mahindra has said that it has over 2.66 lakh open bookings as of January 2023. The popular Mahindra XUV700 accounts for 77,000 of total bookings, while the Thar lifestyle SUV still has over 37,000 pending orders. The Bolero & XUV300 account for 9,000 and 23,000 of total bookings respectively. The new-gen Mahindra Scorpio twins (Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic) have the highest backlog with 1.19 lakh pending orders.
Mahindra is receiving close to 16,500 orders per month for the new Scorpio N and the Scorpio Classic. The waiting period for the new Mahindra Scorpio-N and the Scorpio Classic currently stands over 1 year & 6 months respectively. Not just Scorpio N, the XUV700 also has a waiting period of around 10-12 months. The order backlog could further increase, as the recently launched Mahindra XUV400 electric has received over 15000 bookings and deliveries are yet to start.
The Mahindra Scorpio-N is offered with two engine options – a 2.0L turbo petrol and a 2.2L turbo-diesel. The diesel engine offers two states of tunes – 132bhp/300Nm and 175bhp & 370Nm (MT)/400Nm (AT). The petrol engine produces 203bhp and 370Nm (MT)/380Nm (AT) of torque. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The higher diesel variants are exclusively available with 4WD drivetrain system.
The Scorpio Classic gets a 2.2L Gen 2 mHawk turbo diesel engine that makes a top power of 132bhp and 300Nm of torque. Power is delivered to rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox. This engine is claimed to be 55kgs lighter than the previous unit, which makes it 14 percent more fuel efficient.
