Mahindra recently revealed the Vision S concept, generating significant buzz. This new SUV concept is expected to join the Mahindra Scorpio family, potentially alongside models like the Scorpio N and Classic Scorpio. The Vision S, along with the Vision X, T, and SXT concepts, showcases Mahindra’s design direction.
The Vision S boasts a distinctive design. Its front fascia features LED headlights and a grille incorporating LED elements, along with the signature twin peaks logo. A radar unit and parking sensors are integrated into the bumper. Unique touches include roof-mounted lights and pixel-shaped fog lamps.
For off-road capability, the Vision S is equipped with protective cladding and rides on 19-inch wheels with star-shaped rims. Side-mounted cameras replace traditional ORVMs. At the rear, the design incorporates inverted tail lamps, a bumper reflector, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel branded with ‘Vision S’.
The interior of the Vision S presents a fresh layout, featuring a new steering wheel with VISION S branding and a fully digital driver’s display. The infotainment system is anticipated to run Mahindra’s NU UX system with wireless smartphone connectivity. The cabin is enhanced with dual-tone upholstery, redesigned door trims, premium seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Grab handles are positioned for easy entry and exit.
The Vision S, like other concepts, is built on Mahindra’s NU-IQ platform. This platform supports SUVs between 3,990 mm and 4,320 mm in length and is compatible with petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains, as well as front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
An ICE version is probable, potentially with a 1.2-liter turbo petrol or a 1.5-liter diesel engine. Features such as variable-ratio steering are expected to improve handling.
