M&M has rolled out a new high-end trim of the Scorpio. On sale at an ex-showroom price of INR 13.99 lakh, the Mahindra Scorpio S9 slots below the S11 trim but carries most of the equipment that's available on the top-spec variant.
Speaking on the introduction of the S9, Mahindra - Chief of Sales and Marketing - Automotive Division, Veejay Ram Nakra said-
