Led by models like Scorpio-N, Thar Roxx and XUV700, Mahindra sold 46,222 SUVs last month. Overall, the carmaker sold 47,294 utility vehicles in November, which also includes exported units. Mahindra recently launched two electric SUVs XEV 9e and BE 6e, which are expected to boost its sales further from next year.
In October, Mahindra had clocked its highest ever sales record of 54,504 SUVs. While the sales have dropped by a bit compared to the festive season highs, Mahindra has managed to grow significantly compared to November last year. Mahindra has also exported 1,072 units of its utility vehicles last month. Mahindra exports SUVs like the Scorpio-N and XUV 3XO to global markets.
Besides the Scorpio-N and XUV700, Mahindra's latest SUVs Thar Roxx and XUV 3XO also have major contribution to the carmaker's exponential growth in recent months. Veejay Nakra, President of the Automotive Division at Mahindra & Mahindra, said, “We sold 46,222 SUVs, a growth of 16% in November, and 79,083 total vehicles." Mahindra's overall sales last month, including commercial vehicles, grew by 12 per cent.
Mahindra has seen its sales grow majorly due to its new generation models. Demand for Mahindra SUVs, which now include as many as eight models including Bolero and Bolero Neo, has witnessed steady growth for the past 12 months. Mahindra also plans to reduce long waiting periods for its models soon to meet demand for its SUVs like the Thar Roxx to nine months or less by early next year.
