Mahindra has revealed the Mahindra Vision S concept, offering a preview of a potential compact SUV that could join the Scorpio family in the future. Revealed on Independence Day, the Vision S combines rugged off-road capability with modern tech, targeting a new generation of adventure-seekers.

Rugged Design with Modern Twists

The Vision S’s design is mini Defender-esque with its boxy shape, short overhangs and a planted stance. Up front, inverted L-shaped LED headlights meet via a central LED panel to the Twin Peaks logo, while the bumper hides a radar unit – proof of ADAS. The bold stance is reinforced by wide wheel arches, thick body cladding, and a spare wheel fixed to the tailgate. Cameras replace traditional mirrors and flush fitting door handles add a futuristic touch.

Built on the NU_IQ Platform

The Vision S is built on Mahindra’s latest NU_IQ modular monocoque platform, a flexible base engineered to handle petrol, diesel, hybrid, and all-electric setups. It can underpin SUVs from under 4 metres to 4.32 metres and target multiple market segments. Most importantly it’s designed for both left and right hand drive markets which aligns with Mahindra’s global ambitions.

Tech-Laden Cabin

Inside the Mahindra Vision S concept is rugged meets modern luxury. A fully digital instrument cluster, large central touchscreen running the NU_UX interface and a dual tone cabin with a panoramic sunroof sets the tone for a premium feel. While still a concept, the interior gives us an idea of where Mahindra’s production designs could be headed.

Launch Timeline

Mahindra has confirmed that SUVs based on the NU_IQ platform will start arriving in 2027. The Vision S is an early promise – off-road credibility with modern tech – to expand the Scorpio family into new territory.
