Mahindra Scorpio N – What’s So Special?
For starters, the Scorpio Classic is the pre-facelift model of the Scorpio. It is an old-school boxy SUV that has been ruling the Indian market for decades. On the other hand, the Scorpio N is an all-new product, based on a much superior platform. It is big, tall, and the bonnet is also high for better road presence. Additionally, the larger dimensions translate into a spacious cabin. However, these are not the only factors that make Scorpio N a preferred choice among buyers.
