Along with the BS6 upgrade, Mahindra has
rejigged the variant line-up of the Scorpio. The company has deleted the base
S3 variant and offers the SUV in only the S5, S7, S9 and S11 variants now. The
carried over variants are almost the same as before. There are only two changes
in this aspect. The S5 variant has gained lead-me-to-vehicle headlamps. The S11
variant has lost the shift-on-fly 4WD system option.
The prices of the BS6 Mahindra Scorpio
will likely be revealed soon. In related news, development of the next-gen
Mahindra Scorpio has begun and its road testing also has commenced.
