Mahindra will soon launch the Scorpio Classic SUV with BS6 phase-2 compliant engine. Along with the updated engine, the new Scorpio Classic will also get a new S5 variant, which will bridge the price gap between the base S and top S11 variant.
Mahindra Scorpio Classic S5 Launch Soon
Fans of the Scorpio Classic can rejoice as Mahindra will continue to sell the C-segment SUV in 2023. While it is currently available in base S and S11 top-spec variants, the carmaker plans to add a new S5 middle variant. The new S5 variant will make the Scorpio Classic more accessible to the buyers who want basic features but do not want to stretch their budget for the S11 variant.
Currently, the Scorpio Classic prices start from Rs. 12.64 lakh and go up to Rs. 16.14 lakh (ex-showroom). The S5 variant is likely to bridge the gap between the S and S11 variants with a good mix of must-have and feel-good features.

This engine will continue to offer 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drivetrain.
