Mahindra & Mahindra’s all-new Scorpio-N is the third generation of the Scorpio car that was unveiled around two decades ago. Launched at a starting price of Rs 11.99 lakh, the Scorpio-N attempts to bridge the gap between the rugged Thar and the plush XUV700.

The Scorpio-N was launched on June 27. Mahindra & Mahindra said it received over 1-lakh bookings for the vehicle within half an hour when bookings opened on June 30. The company started delivering the car two weeks back and Mahindra, 67, received it in Mumbai yesterday. The Mahindra group chairman also said in a tweet that he couldn’t “wait to get behind the wheel”.
