its strong value proposition of status and luxurious comfort. In a span

Suiting the taste and aspirations of South Africans car buyers, only the luxury model E8 and the base model E2 is introduced.
Even the leading Mahindra Scorpio was driven to the same market. This clearly indicates that Mahindra drives all its successful models to the country. Maybe the company feels that South Africa is one of the most promising and dynamic car markets. The launch of Scorpio there was a new milestone in their successful journey and the launch of Xylo consolidates the company’s presence in the country.
