The second generation Mahindra Thar was introduced late last year and it made an immediate impact on the sales charts. The off-road has successfully transitioned into a lifestyle SUV and Mahindra ramped up the production to meet the demand and reduce waiting period. It posted 3,493 unit sales in the month of August 2021.
The Bolero should be credited for its consistency every month and it has been one of the top-selling models for Mahindra for decades. Last month, it recorded 3,218 units as against 5,487 units during the corresponding month in 2020 with a negative growth of 41 per cent. The Scorpio finished fourth with 3,493 units and the new generation is waiting in the pipeline.
The new Scorpio is expected to go on sale early next year with evolutionary exterior changes and it will be based on an updated ladder frame chassis. The XUV500 ended up fifth with 383 units as against 919 units in August 2020 with 58 per cent while Marazzo MPV managed only 181 units with 71 per cent decline in volumes to finish ahead of Alturas G4 and KUV NXT.
