In its latest earnings call today, Mahindra revealed an order backlog of about 2.2 lakh vehicles as on May 1. It includes the 50,000 orders received for the newly launched XUV 3XO, priced between Rs 7.49 lakh and Rs 15.49 lakh.
Mahindra’s workhorse, the Bolero SUV, and the Bolero Neo compact SUV are definitely still popular models for the brand. Mahindra still receives about 9,500 bookings for the SUVs (combined) every month, which is one of the reasons why the company still has a decent number of models that are still to be delivered.
Good news for all those who had been waiting for the updated Force Gurkha 3-door: it has finally started reaching dealerships across the country. Bookings have already commenced and deliveries are to begin soon. The updated 2024 Gurkha retains its upright and purpose-built design which boasts of ruggedness.
