Mahindra Scorpio N: Online booking process, delivery details
It must be noted that Mahindra has only announced the prices of Scorpio N's manual variants, but the new “Add to Cart” feature is open for all variants. Bookings will start online and at dealerships on a first come, first served basis from July 30.
However, the booking process itself seems to be a complex, multi-step activity. Prospective buyers have to first choose their desired variant and colour of the Scorpio N and select “Add to Cart” on Mahindra’s website. The feature lets buyers select the variant and colour of the Scorpio N and also their preferred dealership. But buyers cannot book the vehicle after adding it to the cart as the official bookings start on July 30.
This feature will help the company understand which variants are popular, Veejay Nakra, president, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra, told Autocar India. "We will be able to plan production and inventory accordingly, so that there isn't overstocking either at our end or at the dealer," he said.
The next step in the process is test drives, which have opened in select 30 cities from July 5 and Mahindra says will be made available in other cities by July 15. Nakra said, "We wanted to give enough time for people to drive, experience and choose whether they prefer manual or automatic and then put the price out."
Mahindra will allow a “Variant Amendment Window” between July 30 and August 15 for buyers to can change their preferred variant or colour if they want to and lock their final choice. Once the final choice is made and the vehicle is booked, Mahindra says it will give buyers an update on the delivery date. The Scorpio N's deliveries are set to begin during the festive season.
Prices for the Scorpio N start from Rs 11.99 lakh for the base petrol manual, going up to Rs 19.49 lakh for the top-end diesel manual. These prices are introductory only, for the first 25,000 bookings, after which the prices will go up.
