Mahindra Scorpio Classic:
For the popular car manufacturer Mahindra, Scorpio is one of the best-selling vehicles. Even after many years, it is in strong demand among customers.
Now Scorpio is sold under the name Scorpio Classic. Currently, the SUV comes in only two variants – S and S11.
However, another new variant, S5, is coming soon, which will be placed between these two. The details of this new variant have been leaked even before the launch.
As per the leaked approval document, the seating options have also been increased for the S5 and S11 trims.
While the base-spec S variant only gets a 9-seat option, the S5 and S11 variants will get both 7-seater and 9-seater options.
There will be seven variants of the Scorpio Classic in its updated format. Earlier, the 9-seat option was available only with the base S variant.
The 9-seater variant will get bench seats in the second row and 2×2 side-facing bench seats at the rear.
The top-spec S11 variant of the Scorpio Classic will get the option of a second-row captain seat.
