Mahindra has unveiled two groundbreaking concepts at its Freedom NU event – the Vision S (likely previewing the next-gen Scorpio) and Vision X (a sporty compact crossover). Both are based on Mahindra’s new NU IQ modular platform, supporting both ICE and EV powertrains.
Vision S Concept: Scorpio’s Futuristic Avatar
Design: Boxy Defender-like silhouette with Twin Peaks grille, stacked LED lights, and adventure-ready features (roof ladder, jerry can mounts)
Powertrains: Expected to spawn both next-gen Scorpio N (ICE) and Scorpio EV (2027-28)
Key Features: 19-inch alloys, two-tone paint, upright proportions maintaining Scorpio’s rugged DNA
Vision X Concept: XUV 3XO’s Sleek Sibling
Design: Sporty sloping roofline (like Maruti Fronx), flush door handles, Twin Peaks emblem
Positioning: Compact crossover to rival Fronx/Exter, possibly as a premium XUV 3XO variant
Tech: NU IQ platform enables ICE/EV options; likely launch by 2026-27
Why It Matters?
Scorpio Evolution: Vision S could modernize Mahindra’s iconic off-roader for the EV age.
Segment Expansion: Vision X may fill the gap between XUV 3XO and XUV700.
Platform Flexibility: NU IQ allows Mahindra to rapidly adapt to market demands.
Expected Launch Timeline:
Vision S Production: 2027 (as Scorpio EV/ICE)
Vision X: 2026-27 debut
