The KUV100 NXT SUV found favour with budget-conscious buyers looking for a frugal and highly capable compact SUV while the Scorpio Adventure model proved very popular among South African families.

“The new sales record is testament to the hard work of our team at Mahindra SA and each of our 72 dealers," said Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa.

“The past two years have been tough, and we often faced delays in vehicle shipments from our global plants as well as other disruptions, such as the disturbances in KwaZulu-Natal where our plant is based. Despite this, our dealer network and the team kept morale and momentum high and it has borne fruit," Gupta added.

However, Scorpio and KUV100 NXT aren't the best-sellers for Mahindra in South Africa, The carmaker's locally-manufactured 'bakkie’ Pik Up range, with 618 units sold in January, is the top-selling model for Mahindra. Mahindra is also set to launch its latest flagship model XUV700 in South Africa later this year.
