Introduction & Launch History

Every Independence Day, Mahindra raises anticipation with bold concept reveals. In 2025, the spotlight belongs to the Vision S Concept, officially unveiled at the Freedom_NU event on August 15 in Mumbai. Positioned as a next-gen Scorpio family member—potentially even a fully electric Scorpio N—this compact off-roader aims to blend tough-road presence with future-ready architecture.

The Vision S is instantly eye-catching. Its boxy silhouette nods to Mahindra’s off-road roots, but with modern flair. Expect:

  • A muscular, upright stance with sealed-off front fascia
  • Inverted L-shaped headlights framing a twin-peak LED grille
  • Bulbous wheel arches and chunky tyres for exaggerated off-road appeal
  • Teasers confirming a tailgate-mounted spare wheel and angular, rugged bumpers

Mahindra has confirmed that the Vision S rides on the new NU.IQ modular platform, capable of supporting petrol, hybrid, and electric powertrains—making the Vision S a glimpse at the brand’s electrified bold future.

Mileage & Powertrain Potential

Official performance figures are yet to come. However, since the Vision S is built on the NU.IQ platform (shared with electric-ready models), it’s fair to expect variants ranging from efficient petrol/hybrid setups to a fully electric drivetrain—perhaps even an electric Scorpio N. Until Mahindra releases specific specs, the Vision S remains an intriguing “what if” for EV fans and Scorpio lovers alike.

Features & Tech

Though concept models don’t always translate fully into production, several features stand out:

  • Radar sensor integration and parking sensors embedded in the front bumper
  • Pixel-style fog lights bolstering its rugged appeal
  • Flush-fitting door handles, camera-based ORVMs (not mirrors), roof rails, and jerry-can accessories—though these may remain for show only.

Inside, shots captured by CarandBike show a futuristic cockpit with vertical AC vents, a striking yellow storage belt, and a modern flat-bottom steering wheel branded with “Vision S.”

Platform & Future Potential

The NU.IQ architecture is the real game-changer here. As a modular platform designed for global deployment, it signals Mahindra’s intent to rapidly expand in SUVs, off-road, and electric vehicle segments alike. Production Vision S (and its family variants like Vision X, T, and SXT) are expected to roll out by 2026–27.

Expected Launch & Price Range

While price and production-ready features are under wraps, reports suggest a launch in mid-2026. Platforms like Carbike360 estimate the pricing could range between ₹9 lakh and ₹20 lakh, though final numbers will likely exceed that for an SUV with this level of off-road styling.
