Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic get the highest bookings of over 16,000 units per month.
Mahindra recently announced a ramp up in production and deliveries, which has led to a reduction in the order backlog. And while the duo of the Scorpio Classic and Scorpio N have the highest number of open bookings at over 1 lakh units combined as of January 2024, their waiting periods have come down a fair bit from a couple of months ago.
Mahindra Scorpio N waiting period
As you can see in the table below, the maximum waiting period for the Scorpio N is up to six months for the lower variants, while it’s about four months on average for the mid-spec variants. That’s considerably down from six to eight months waiting that the mid-spec variants were seeing in November 2023. But it’s the top-spec variants that see the maximum drop in waiting period – it’s now just two or three months on average, down from a maximum of eight months in November 2023.

The Mahindra Scorpio N gets a choice of two engines, a 203hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 175hp, 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine. There is a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission on offer for both engines, however, only the diesel engines get the option of 4WD. Prices for the Scorpio N range from Rs 13.60 lakh-24.54 lakh, ex-showroom.
Mahindra Scorpio Classic waiting period
The Scorpio Classic, meanwhile, has a waiting period of up to three months for the base variant, and up to five months for the top-spec S11 variant. This, however, hasn’t changed much since November last year when it had about four months waiting on average.

| S11 | 4-5 months |
The Scorpio Classic is powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine that produces 132hp and 300Nm. Paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the SUV misses out on an automatic gearbox and the 4×4 option that’s available on the Scorpio N. Prices for the Scorpio Classic range between Rs 13.59 lakh-17.35 lakh, ex-showroom.
At its recent earnings call, Mahindra revealed that the duo of Scorpio Classic and Scorpio N are among its most popular models, receiving about 16,000 bookings per month combined, more than even the XUV700 and Thar.
