After weeks of drip-feeding teasers, Mahindra has finally revealed the Vision S concept in full on Independence Day. Its production version will most likely join the Mahindra Scorpio family, which currently includes the N and Classic SUVs. The company also unveiled the X, T and SXT prototypes, all part of the Vision series.
- Vision S previews a compact SUV, measuring under 4 metres in length
- Underpinned by Mahindra’s NU_IQ monocoque modular platform
- Compatible with both ICE and electric powertrains
Mahindra Vision S concept exterior details
The Twin Peaks logo at the front is flanked by a triplet of vertically stacked LEDs on either side, forming a bridge between the inverted L-shaped headlights. The bumper below appears to house a radar unit and parking sensors. Interestingly, the pixel-shaped fog lamps look very similar to the ones on the Hyundai Nexo. Limb risers on the bonnet and roof-mounted lights, though, may not make it to the production model.
Moving on to the side, the high stance shows its off-road preparedness, with thick cladding under the doors as well as on the wheel arches. 19-inch rubber hugs the star-shaped wheels, behind which are red callipers and disc brakes. There’s even a roof ladder on the kerb side, and a jerry can on the right. We could spot cameras instead of traditional ORVMs, side steps, and flush-fitting door handles, too.
Like at the front, the rear section is marked by inverted L tail-lights, and a quartet of pixel lights on the bumper under them. Interestingly, the reflector units on the bumper and the tailgate-mounted spare wheel resemble those on the Bolero Neo.
Mahindra Vision S interior and features
There will be a great combination of digital and physical,” Pratap Bose, Chief Design and Creative Officer at Mahindra, said while talking about the cabin controls. The concept boasted a new steering wheel with the ‘VISION S’ lettering in its centre, and the digital driver’s display has fresh graphics. The central touchscreen will run the brand’s NU_UX and is expected to offer wireless smartphone connectivity.
Dual-tone upholstery for the dashboard, door trims and seats has been used; there’s a panoramic sunroof as well.
Mahindra Vision S specs and platform details
Like the Vision T, SXT and X concepts, the S SUV is underpinned by Mahindra’s NU_IQ platform. This new monocoque base can accommodate SUVs with a length between 3,990mm and 4,320mm, and also supports petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains.
It isn’t clear which options will be offered with the production-spec Vision S. However, a length of under 4 metres and a 2,665mm wheelbase are confirmed on the off-roader. Notably, the latter is 5mm more than the XUV 3XO’s base, which is currently the longest in the compact SUV segment. The production SUV based on the Vision S concept is expected to launch in 2027, with Mahindra likely to reveal more details about the highly anticipated model in the run-up to its debut.
