Mahindra Hints At Next-Gen SUV Lineup With Freedom_NU Teasers
Mahindra has kicked off a teaser campaign called freedom_nu ahead of its annual Independence Day event on August 15. At the event, the company will reveal a 'new platform vision" and showcase four new concept SUVs.
The teasers feature both electric (EV) and internal combustion engine (ICE) versions, indicated by Mahindra's Twin Peaks logos, suggesting the upcoming platform may support multiple fuel types.
The four concept SUVs have been named Vision T, Vision S, Vision X, and Vision SXT. All the teaser images show a top-down view of the bonnet, giving small clues about each model's identity and design. These concepts are expected to lay the foundation for future SUV families under Mahindra's strategy of building a 'house of brands."

Let's take a closer look at each of them.
Vision T
The Vision T teaser was released first. The 'T' most likely connects it to the Thar lineup. The bonnet is square with bold wheel arches, visible bonnet latches, and rugged all-terrain tyres. These elements hint that this could be an updated or near-production version of the Thar.e concept, which Mahindra showcased in South Africa in 2023.
The Vision SXT is a bit of a mystery. However, the design closely matches the Vision T, with similar bonnet latches and rugged styling. This suggests it could be a Thar-based variant—possibly a pickup truck, inspired by the Global Pik Up concept Mahindra revealed last year.
Vision X
This SUV appears more refined and less off-road focused than the others. It features sleek, sporty lines and seems to be part of the XUV family. Many believe this could be the much-awaited XEV 7e, a premium, urban SUV that would sit alongside the XEV 9e coupe SUV. The XEV 7e has already been spotted in testing and may borrow design elements from the XUV700 and Mahindra's newer EVs.

Australia Adds YouTube To Social Media Ban For Children
Last Updated: The decision came after Australia's internet regulator had urged the govt to overturn a YouTube carve-out, citing a survey that found 37% of minors reported seeing harmful content. Australia announced on Wednesday that it will include YouTube to sites covered by its world-first ban on social media for teenagers, reversing a previous decision to exempt the Alphabet-owned video platform and potentially leading to a legal confrontation. This decision followed the internet regulator's recommendation last week to overturn the YouTube carve-out, citing a survey revealing that 37% of minors had encountered harmful content on the site. 'Social media has a social responsibility, and there is no doubt that Australian kids are being negatively impacted by online platforms, so I'm calling time on it," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated. 'I want Australian parents to know that we have their backs." The ban, set to take effect in December, has now been expanded. YouTube, which claims usage by nearly three-quarters of Australians aged 13-15, argues it should not be classified as social media since its primary function is video hosting. Last year, the government planned to exempt YouTube due to its popularity with educators. Platforms included in the ban, such as Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, have since objected, arguing that YouTube shares key features with their services, including user interaction and algorithmic content recommendations. 'Our stance remains clear: YouTube is a video-sharing platform with a vast library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens. It's not social media," a YouTube spokesperson communicated via email. Last week, YouTube informed Reuters that it had written to the government urging them to maintain the integrity of the legislative process. Australian media reported that YouTube threatened a court challenge against the ban, though YouTube did not confirm this. The relevant law, passed in November, mandates that social media platforms must take reasonable steps to exclude Australians under 16 or face fines up to A$49.5 million. The government is expecting a report this month on age-verification tests, which will inform how the ban will be implemented.
