A big ride with humongous wheels is what makes a style statement and that’s what the new car from Mahindra & Mahindra’s garage is about to do for the Indian segment. ‘Scorpio Getaway’, the sports utility version of its flagship Scorpio, was launched in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
The new lifestyle product sports a grand deck that can carry various equipment & gear as per your lifestyle needs. It exudes ruggedness and style and is an extension of the go-getting persona of young Indians who do not shy of flaunting their success & lifestyle.
The utility vehicle is a double cab including a rear deck along with a cabin that boasts of luxury and loads of space. The interiors are equipped with standard features like power steering; air-conditioning, power windows, remote central locking and voice assist system that informs the driver about seatbelts, whether the doors are locked and when the fuel reaches reserve capacity.
“The new Scorpio Getaway packs the DNA of the Scorpio into a lifestyle SUV. This vehicle complements the lifestyle of a growing breed of young adventurous Indians who work hard and play hard. They refuse to compromise luxury and style while requiring a vehicle that can take them and their gear around in comfort as per their lifestyle needs.” said Mr. Rajesh Jejurikar, EVP, Sales & Marketing, Mahindra & Mahindra.
The fact that the Scorpio Getaway was the first Indian lifestyle SUV to have a maiden global launch is an apt testimonial of its global appeal. The India launch follows the success of the vehicle in South Africa a little less than a year ago and in Australia in the recent past.
“We are looking for exporting it to other countries also and will enter US market in 2009, where the demand for such product is very high,” Rajesh added.
“The Scorpio Getaway marks a milestone in M&M’s evolution as a maker of global vehicles for the Gen-Next Indian whose passion & lifestyle drives his choice of wheels. Its macho build makes it a perfect lifestyle SUV for those who take the tarmac to the high rise and the roadless terrain with equal aplomb,” Mr. Jejurikar said.
The Scorpio Getaway is available in 2WD and 4WD options and comes in 4 attractive colours. It pumps its power from its 2600cc common-rail diesel engine (CRDe). The Scorpio Getaway 2WD ‘Double Cab’ would be priced at Rs. 7,05,246 (ex-showroom Chandigarh) and Rs 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom Navi Mumbai).
