4 hues, 4 concepts: This is what Mahindra's future lineup looks like
Although details about the Vision.T remain scarce, the teaser depicts a tall, muscular design reminiscent of the Thar. The upcoming Freedom_NU event is anticipated to unveil additional concept vehicles and innovations alongside the Vision.T.Mahindra originally showcased the Thar.e concept at its Futurescape event in Cape Town, South Africa, on 15 August 2023. That same event also introduced the OJA global tractor brand and a Scorpio-N-based pickup truck.The Thar.e distinguishes itself as a unique SUV, designed with modular elements that can be swapped or customized, allowing it to transition from a rugged off-roader to a more urban-focused vehicle if desired. Despite its concept-car feel, it retains signature Thar features like squircle-shaped LED DRL headlamps and a vertically slatted front grille reminiscent of the classic Thar design. It's built on the INGLO platform, first revealed last year, but modified specifically for this application as the INGLO P1.Visually, the Thar.e features sharply contoured body panels that give it a futuristic yet capable off-road presence. It boasts large off-road tyres, short overhangs, and pronounced wheel arches, and departs from the current Thar's proportions with a five-door layout. Inside, the cabin takes a minimalist yet functional approach, characterized by straight lines, integrated grab handles, a cleverly placed rotating display, and a clean dashboard design.Still under development, the Thar.e will feature a wheelbase ranging between 2,775mm and 2,975mm. It is expected to deliver ground clearance of 250mm to 300mm, with a front overhang between 640mm and 680mm and a rear overhang ranging from 640mm to 740mm. Although Mahindra has yet to reveal detailed powertrain specifications, the Thar.e is confirmed to come with a dual-motor setup, featuring identical motors at each axle. Further technical details are likely to emerge as the production-ready model approaches its debut.advertisementWhile we have some details of the Vision.T, there's little information on what the next three concepts will be.Vision.S View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahindra Automotive (@mahindra_auto)Following the reveal of the Vision.T, Mahindra has teased another upcoming model, the Vision.S. The teaser image showcases a bold, upright profile, hinting at a muscular SUV with rugged styling. Although specific details about the Vision.S remain limited, its boxy design suggests it will be another robust addition to Mahindra's expanding lineup. Notably, the teaser shows prominent air intakes on the bonnet, hinting at a performance-focused approach and underlining its off-road-ready appeal. The Vision.S is scheduled to debut alongside the Vision.T and Mahindra's new Freedom NU platform on August 15, 2025.The Vision.S is anticipated to be offered with both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, likely built on Mahindra's new flexible platform. The brand's NFA (New Flexible Architecture) platform promises enhanced adaptability and improved performance, though detailed technical specifications remain undisclosed for now.advertisementVision.SXT View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahindra Automotive (@mahindra_auto)Up next is the Vision.SXT, whose styling leans toward a traditional yet strong aesthetic. The teaser reveals a boxy, muscular shape featuring an upright front end and a clamshell hood, suggesting the rugged character of an SUV. Elements like flared wheel arches and a pronounced skid plate contribute to its tough appearance, while visible bonnet hinges hint at a functional design that may allow the hood to open either upward or forward for convenient access to the engine or battery bay.Interestingly, this design might foreshadow a pickup truck based on the Scorpio-N, combining utility with a striking, purposeful look and potentially expanding Mahindra's growing SUV lineup.Vision.X View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahindra Automotive (@mahindra_auto)Mahindra's latest teaser, unveiled yesterday, introduces the Vision.X , a departure from the rugged, large-format concepts like the Vision.T, Vision.S, and Vision.SXT. The Vision.X appears to take a more compact, city-friendly direction, likely targeting urban families. The teaser suggests a sleek, contemporary design, indicating that it could be a hybrid or electric version of the XUV 3XO, or perhaps an all-new model positioned below Mahindra's larger SUVs. The Vision.X, shown in grey, completes the Freedom_NU platform's teaser palette, which previously featured white, yellow, and orange associated with other concepts.advertisementThe Vision.X, along with its sibling concepts, represents Mahindra's expanding vision for the future , spanning both traditional and electric SUV offerings. With urban buyers showing increasing interest in smart, sustainable vehicles, the Vision.X could signal Mahindra's entry into the high-demand compact and midsize SUV segments.All attention now turns to August 15, when Mahindra will officially unveil the Vision.X, the full Vision lineup, and the new Freedom_NU platform, a pivotal moment in the brand's move toward electrification and next-gen SUVs.Stay tuned to Auto Today for all the updates.Subscribe to Auto Today Magazine- EndsTrending Reel
