Scorpio-N, XUV 3XO SUVs power Mahindra sales to grow by 23% in June

Mahindra and Mahindra continues to be India's largest SUV manufacturer with more than 40,000 units sold in June. The carmaker issued a statement saying that it has clocked 23 per cent growth in the passenger vehicle segment last month with 40,022 vehicles delivered to its customers. Mahindra sells only SUVs in the passenger vehicle segment with flagship models like Scorpio-N, XUV700, Thar and the latest offering XUV 3XO.

Mahindra's sales last month eclipsed its June 2023 sales figures of 32,588 units. However, the June sales this year has been lower than what the carmaker could achieve in May when Mahindra delivered 43,218 SUVs. The bulk of the SUV sales for Mahindra comes from its flagship brand Scorpio under which the carmaker offers the Scorpio-N and Scorpio Classic SUVs. Scorpio-N is currently the best-selling SUV from the carmaker while latest models like the XUV 3XO promising to catch up fast.

SUVs like XUV700 and Thar also helped Mahindra to boost its sales. Last month, Mahindra achieved a major production milestone when the XUV700 SUV hit two lakh sales landmark within three years of its launch. Veejay Nakra, President of the Automotive Division at Mahindra and Mahindra Limited, said, “June has been a momentous month, as we rolled out the 200,000th XUV700 from our facility. We also celebrated 25 years of Bolero Pik-Ups, a category creator and market leader in the LCV segment."

Mahindra has not shared break-up of its SUV sales numbers for June yet. However, the carmaker said it exported 2,597 units last month, a marginal rise of four per cent over the number of vehicles it exported in June 2023.
