Mahindra Scorpio N Waiting Period
The extended waiting period that stretches up to 65 weeks for the Z4 variant is the longest while the Z8 L automatic sees the lowest waiting period of 24-26 weeks. Mahindra Scorpio N Z6 and Z8 variants command around 55 to 60 weeks for delivery while buyers of the top spec Z8 L trim have to face a waiting period of 56-58 weeks. The base Z2 trim has a waiting period of 52-54 weeks.
Mahindra Scorpio N success can be gauged from the fact that it received over 1 lakh bookings within 30 minutes. New orders continue to pour in even today, thereby causing supply constraints. The extended waiting period is due to the several issues that the company faces in terms of commodity supplies. This has also affected the waiting period of other models in the company lineup.
Thar RWD commands the highest waiting period of up to 1.5 years (75 weeks) and the XUV700 also sees an extended waiting period. As on date, Mahindra sits on a backlog of over 2.33 lakh units with the Scorpio/N seeing the highest pending orders of 1.19 lakh units.
