Vision T
Mahindra evolved its 2023 Thar.e into the Vision T, a rugged, off-road powerhouse. The SUV sports a boxy military stance, a bold vertical grille, chunky tyres, and a striking yellow tow hook that reinforces its adventure-first character.
Vision S
The Vision S likely extends the Scorpio legacy with a tough, squared-off frame paired with modern touches. Flush-mounted door handles, L-shaped LED lighting, and roof lamps give it a modern yet trail-ready appearance.
Vision X
Mahindra positions the Vision X as an urban-friendly sub-four-metre SUV. Its sharp design includes geometric panels, gloss-black wheel arches, a sloping coupe-like roofline, and connected LED tail lamps, all tied together with sleek DRLs for a sporty, youthful look.
Vision SXT
The Vision SXT adds utility to the rugged formula by borrowing design cues from the Vision T and merging them with a pickup-inspired body. The vehicle includes a loading bay and space for two spare tyres, giving it an adventurous, multi-purpose edge.
Final Word
With the NU_IQ platform and its Vision concepts, Mahindra is actively redefining the future of its SUV lineup. Production models will begin hitting the roads in 2027, bringing buyers a mix of rugged off-roaders, practical lifestyle vehicles, and sleek urban SUVs.
