S 9-Seater Price and Specs, Mahindra Scorpio Classic

S 9-Seater is the higher-capacity base Scorpio Classic, using side-facing jump seats in the boot to carry up to nine people. It runs the same 2.2 litre mHawk diesel with 130 bhp and 300 Nm, rear wheel drive and the rated 14.44 kmpl, so it keeps the rugged, no-nonsense character.

Like the 7-seater it is deliberately simple, with two front airbags and no touchscreen, alloys or cruise control. The extra seating suits large families, rural transport or utility duty where headcount matters more than comfort features.

Choose the S 9-Seater if you need to carry more people at the lowest price and do not mind the basic kit or the side-facing rear seats. Buyers who want a proper feature list should look at the S11, and those wanting a modern SUV should consider the Scorpio N.
