Mahindra & Mahindra has kicked off 2025 on a high note, building on the stellar momentum from last year. With over 5.28 lakh SUVs sold in 2024, the homegrown automaker recorded its highest-ever calendar year sales, thanks largely to the runaway success of the Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic. Together, these two models have emerged as the brand’s strongest performers, beating even the iconic Bolero lineup in sales.
Mahindra Scorpio: The Best-Selling SUV in 2024
In 2024, Mahindra sold a whopping 1,54,169 units of the Scorpio twins (Scorpio N & Classic) between January and November alone, capturing 32% of the brand’s total sales. This impressive feat officially makes the Scorpio the best-selling Mahindra SUV, overtaking long-standing top-sellers like the Bolero.
With Indian consumers leaning heavily towards tough, reliable, and tech-loaded SUVs, the Scorpio range has struck the right balance of power, practicality, and presence — securing its place as the SUV to beat in 2025.

The EV Push: Mahindra Charges Ahead in 2025
With the launch of the BE.6 and XUV.e9 EVs in late 2024, Mahindra is aggressively entering the electric SUV segment. Deliveries are expected to gain momentum in Q1 2025, and early interest indicates strong demand in urban markets.
EVs are likely to play a more central role in Mahindra’s strategy moving forward, with the automaker planning to introduce 3-4 more electric models by 2026 under its BE and XUV.e sub-brands.
Outlook for FY2025: Aiming for More Records
As of the first nine months of FY2025, Mahindra has already clocked 4,02,360 units, which is 87% of FY2024’s total sales (4,59,877 units). With three months still left in the fiscal year, Mahindra is on track to:
- Surpass 5 lakh units in a single fiscal for the first time
- Set a new benchmark in India’s SUV segment
- Strengthen its leadership in the mid-size SUV space
The company is currently just 57,517 units short of last fiscal’s record, and only 97,640 units away from hitting the magical 5 lakh mark in FY2025.
