    Mahindra Scorpio goes bulletproof

    Defence Land Systems, part of Mahindra Group, has launched a bulletproof kit for Scorpio

    With the elections coming up, political campaigns across the country are on in full swing. Other than the regular crop of SUVs and MPVs that are used generally to traverse our 'difficult' roads with a full load, there's another breed of cars that are in focus at the moment. The modified-for-security models for the various VIPs and VVIPs.

    Defence Land Systems, part of the Mahindra Group, has launched a bulletproof kit for the Scorpio. The kit is on offer in three different trims – Executive, Premium and VVIP. Priced at Rs 12.67 lakh, Rs 16.07 lakh and Rs 18.33 lakh, respectively. All kits can be ordered at a booking amount of Rs 75,000.

    The features on the Executive trim include bulletproof glass, body panels, fire-proof fuel tank and a real time vehicle tracking device. The Premium trim adds run flat tyres and the VVIP kit adds powered windows and a blast proof carpet to protect against threats like grenades.

    There's a two-year warranty and one year's insurance free for bulletproof materials. Also, six services will be provided free of charge. Users will also be trained to respond in case of an attack.
