Rugged & Modern Design – A Baby Scorpio
The Mahindra Vision S is a visual stunner, embodying Mahindra’s Heartcore Design 2.0 philosophy with a boxy silhouette that echoes the Scorpio N and draws comparisons to a “Baby Defender” . Its upright front fascia features L-shaped LED headlamps, a rectangular LED grille, and pixel-style fog lamps inspired by the Hyundai Nexo . The flared wheel arches, 19-inch star-shaped alloy wheels, and short rear overhang with a tailgate-mounted spare wheel give it a rugged yet urban vibe, perfect for Delhi’s streets or Himachal’s trails.
Available in a golden-yellow and black dual-tone finish , it sports flush door handles, roof-mounted lights, side steps, a roof ladder, and a jerry can on the side, though some features may not make production With a 4-meter length, 2665 mm wheelbase, and 210 mm ground clearance (estimated), it’s nimble for city parking and tough for off-road adventures.
Spacious & Tech-Loaded Cabin
The Mahindra Vision S interior is a blend of practicality and futurism, designed for families and adventurers. The 5-seater cabin features a dual-tone grey dashboard, four vertical AC vents, and a centrally mounted touchscreen (likely 10-inch) with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay . A yellow belt-like storage strip, panoramic sunroof, and grab handles enhance usability, making it easy to hop in and out in Bengaluru’s traffic or rural Rajasthan [2].
The three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel with Vision S branding and a digital driver display add a premium touch, while class-leading boot space (estimated at 400L) swallows luggage or groceries. Though not confirmed, expect rear AC vents and USB-C ports, aligning with Mahindra’s focus on spacious, family-friendly cabins [1].
Versatile Performance & Efficiency
Built on the NU_IQ modular platform, the Mahindra Vision S supports ICE (petrol/diesel), CNG, and electric powertrains, with production models expected to offer front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) [0, 1, 5, 6]. While exact specs are undisclosed, the concept hints at a 1.5L turbo-petrol (150 bhp, 250 Nm) or electric variant with a 60 kWh battery and 450–500 km range, based on Mahindra’s EV lineup [3]. The CNG option could deliver 35 km/kg mileage (estimated, aligning with Tata Sumo’s efficiency focus in your previous request), saving ₹15,000–20,000/year on fuel for taxi operators or families.
The flat-floor architecture—a first for ICE SUVs—offers 229 mm second-row legroom and 644L boot space (up to roof) [6], making it a practical choice for Chennai’s school runs or long hauls to Varanasi.
Safety & Technology Features
Safety is a priority, with the NU_IQ platform designed for top-tier safety standards [1]. Expect six airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and Level-2 ADAS (adaptive cruise, lane assist) in production models, aiming for a 4-star Bharat NCAP rating [5]. The 5-link rear suspension with Davinci damper tech ensures a smooth ride on India’s pothole-ridden roads [6].
Tech highlights include a digital cluster, voice-assisted controls, and Mahindra’s NU_UX interface with over-the-air updates [1]. The cameras replacing ORVMs and intuitive infotainment hint at sci-fi tech, though production may simplify these [2]. With LHD/RHD capability, it’s also eyed for global markets [1].
Mahindra Vision S Price & Availability
The Mahindra Vision S is a concept, with production expected in January 2027 and a starting price of ₹9–20 lakh (ex-showroom, estimated) [3, 14, 15]. On-road prices could range from ₹10–22 lakh, depending on variants and taxes. EMI plans are projected at ₹12,000/month with a ₹1.5 lakh down payment (based on Tata Sumo’s affordability model). Bookings may open in 2026, with festive offers like ₹50,000 discounts or exchange bonuses anticipated [12].
Compared to rivals like the Tata Punch (₹6.13–10.20 lakh, 20 km/l) or Hyundai Creta (₹11–20 lakh, 21 km/l), the Vision S’s 35 km/kg CNG mileage and compact size make it a budget-friendly, versatile pick [4].
