Mahindra Scorpio Classic will not get any 4×4 variant, Might be a disappointment for fans

Mahindra Scorpio Classic is all set to launch on August 20 and the fans are all excited about the launch of the popular SUV. The Scorpio Classic has been revealed in India and we are quite aware of some important specifications that the SUV might have. However, it is quite surprising that the Scorpio Classic will not have any 4×4 option.

Along with the 4×4 or 4WD, another key feature that will be missing on the SUV will be the mechanical locking differential (MLD). The SUV will not include an Automatic Transmission option and will be offered in Manual Transmission only. The reason why the company has opted to keep both the features at bay is very simple. The company wants to cut the extra cost of the vehicle by reducing some features which were less used by people, said sources.
