Mahindra & Mahindra is planning to add a new variant to the Scorpio Classic’s lineup. Likely to be called the S5, this new variant will sit in the middle between the Classic S and Classic S 11 trims. The new variant is being added as the top variant is a slow seller since it is priced very closely to the Scorpio N. We take a closer look at this upcoming SUV yet to be launched into the Indian market.
