Mahindra Scorpio N, Scorpio Classic Waiting Period Comes Down
The current timeline for the Mahindra Scorpio N reveals a significant decrease in waiting times for the entry-level Z2 petrol and diesel variants of the Mahindra Scorpio N, now down to just a month. In contrast, the higher-spec Z8 S variant continues to have the longest waiting period, reaching up to 2.5 months regardless of engine or gearbox choice. The mid-spec diesel Z4 and Z6 variants have a waiting period of approximately 1.5 months. Notably, the Scorpio N Z4 petrol-AT offers the shortest delivery time of less than a month. While this is the latest Scorpio, let's see how the Classic fares in comparison.
The waiting times for the Mahindra Scorpio Classic have significantly improved compared to a few months ago.

Mahindra XUV700 Waiting Period Mounts: Festive Season Effect?
The waiting times for the Mahindra XUV700 have increased slightly. The top-spec AX7 and AX7 L variants now have a waiting period of just over 2 months, up from approximately 1.5 months recently. All other variants, including the entry-level MX and the mid-spec AX3, AX5, and AX5 Select variants, have a waiting period of approximately 1 month. These wait times apply to both petrol and diesel versions of the SUV. While this is significantly lower than what it used to be if you are looking for an SUV to just take home instantly, these are not the ones. However, I suggest you check in with your nearest dealership to find out the exact case.
Verdict
The waiting period for these SUVs now, is nothing when compared to their first year of launches. While these SUVs have gone thorugh worse days where the waiting period strecthed beyond 1 year mark, making it, not a very sensible option to go for, the current situation is pretty well managed. I would suggest you to check in with your nearest dealership to find out if you're lucky enough to get these before the metnioned timelime, if you plan to buy one.
