Army-Spec Mahindra Scorpio Classic :

The Mahindra Scorpio Classic has been somewhat modified since the Indian Army needs vehicles that are more sturdy and potent for their day-to-day operations. The automobile now has a trailer hitch and black panels in place of the previous vertically stacked tail lights. The ability to carry small-calibre firearms or other weapons has been added.

Additionally, the Mahindra Scorpio Classic Army edition may contain certain exclusive features for the military. However, no other information has been given. While the vehicle's 4x4 drive may come in helpful for driving through tough terrain or even uphill, making the supply and other operations easier.

Do note that the company does not currently sell the Scorpio Classic 4x4 to customers in India. While the company's most recent addition, the Scorpio-N, has 4-wheel drive options. When compared to the Classic, the Scropio-N offers a multitude of new features and is more technologically advanced. However, the Classic has kept its allure thanks to its timeless appearance, and it is selling well.

Speaking of the features and specifications of the Scorpio Classic, the SUV gets a 2.2-litre diesel engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The SUV can belt out 128 bhp of max power and 300 Nm of peak torque and the price starts from Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant. The SUV is available in Pearl White, Galaxy Gre
