While earlier teasers gave a partial look at the bonnet from above, the latest one provides a side view. Confirmed styling cues include a bold, upright front, sculpted bonnet with side scoops, and the arches are packed with aggressive, off-road-focused tyres that enhance the SUV's tough, go-anywhere look. A steeply raked front windscreen adds a more aerodynamic silhouette, hinting that this model may sit lower than the current Scorpio lineup. The new teaser also highlights a closed-off front section, a sharply contoured bonnet, and edgy cladding around the wheels. The SUV's chunky tyres and sharply angled windscreen further suggest its off-road capabilities. A closer inspection also reveals a charging port tucked neatly beneath the front nose, confirming its electric nature. Other key visual elements include a flat clamshell-style bonnet with prominent vents and a modern reinterpretation of Mahindra's signature six-slat grille. The Vision S is expected to be underpinned by Mahindra's new NFA (New Flexible Architecture) platform, designed to support a wide range of powertrains with an emphasis on electrification and eco-friendly performance.

"Competition Drives Innovation": Anand Mahindra Welcomes Tesla To India
Entrepreneur Anand Mahindra on Tuesday welcomed Tesla to the Indian market, where the US-based electric vehicle maker made its debut with the first showroom in Mumbai. A second outlet is already in the works for Delhi. Mahindra and Tata, India's two homegrown brands, dominate the EV landscape in the country. Tesla will compete with Mercedes and BMW in the high-end segment. "Welcome to India, @elonmusk and @Tesla. One of the world's largest EV opportunities just got more exciting. Competition drives innovation, and there's plenty of road ahead. Looking forward to seeing you at the charging station," the Mahindra Group Chairperson wrote on X. He also shared a 2017 exchange with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. "India commits to sell only electric cars by 2030. It is already the largest market for solar power," Musk said at the time. To which Mahindra responded, "Time you got out here Elon. You don't want to leave that whole market to Mahindra do you?? The more the merrier--and greener..!" "Good point," Musk said. Welcome to India, @elonmusk and @Tesla. One of the world's largest EV opportunities just got more exciting. Competition drives innovation, and there's plenty of road ahead. Looking forward to seeing you at the charging station. — anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) July 15, 2025 Tesla's first Indian showroom is located at Maker Maxity in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The company has the Model Y as its first offering to the Indian auto enthusiasts, available in Long-Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants. Deliveries are expected to begin in August. The Model Y starts at Rs 59.89 lakh for the RWD version and Rs 67.89 lakh for the long-range variant. With this pricing, Tesla enters India's luxury EV segment, competing directly with premium offerings from German manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, rather than budget-friendly options from Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra. While Tesla positions itself as a high-end player, several Indian EV models offer comparable range and performance at significantly lower prices. The Tesla Model Y comes with 60 kWh and 75 kWh battery options, offering a range of 500 km and 622 km (WLTP) respectively. It has a single rear-wheel-drive motor producing 295 hp and 420 Nm of torque, goes from 0-100 kmph in 5.6 seconds, and is priced from Rs 59.89 lakh. The Mahindra XEV 9e offers 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options, with an ARAI-certified range of up to 659 km. It starts at Rs 21.90 lakh and delivers over 500 km in real-world conditions. The Mahindra BE 6 also comes with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs, offering 557-638 km of range. It uses a rear-wheel-drive setup and is priced from Rs 18.90 lakh.

Mahindra XUV700 zooms past 3 lakh sales milestone
The XUV700 is one of the most successful products that Mahindra has launched in India. Check Offers Mahindra and Mahindra has announced that the XUV700 has clocked 3 lakh sales in the Indian market. The SUV was first launched in India back in 2021, and it still garners a strong demand, which is quite impressive as the brand has not yet launched any sort of facelift for it. Back in March, the brand crossed the 2.5 lakh sales mark and announced a few offers, but that has not happened this time. Mahindra XUV700 facelift under works Mahindra's popular XUV700 is getting its first facelift, and spy shots show prototypes testing on India's roads for the first time. The revamped SUV, expected in early 2026, focuses on style updates and enhanced features, with no major mechanical changes anticipated. Exterior Overhaul The facelifted XUV700 receives a redesigned front end, including new circular LED headlights paired with distinctive LED daytime running lights. The grille has been reimagined with slanted vertical slats, and the front bumper gets refreshed styling. While the current camo doesn't fully reveal rear styling, it's likely to include subtle bumper refinements and a sleek LED light bar. Camouflaged wheels hide any changes there, though updates in alloy design are probable. As seen above, the XUV700 will boast a new front fascia. Interior & Tech Upgrades Inside, the facelift is expected to bring in a triple-screen layout—comprising a driver display, central infotainment, and passenger touchscreen—borrowed from Mahindra's electric XEV 9e. Enhanced tech features are also likely to include a digital key, an auto-parking system and an upgraded Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, among others. Also Read : Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero Neo spotted testing, India launch expected soon Mechanically, the facelifted XUV700 will retain its current engines: the 2.0 L turbo-petrol (≈197 bhp, 380 Nm) and 2.2 L diesel (182 bhp, 420–450 Nm depending on gearbox). Transmission options will remain a 6‑speed manual or torque-converter automatic. AWD configurations are likely to continue, and although rumours suggest a plug-in hybrid may be on the horizon, it's probably not part of this update Testing mules surfaced in June 2025, hinting at a debut later this year or in early 2026. Some suggest Mahindra might even rebrand the model as "XUV7XO" upon launch. However, given the cosmetic-only scope of this update, substantial increases in price aren't expected—more a mid-cycle revamp than a full redesign.
