Mahindra Vision S Spotted Before Launch
Hyderabad, November 11: The Mahindra Vision S, an upcoming compact SUV, has been spotted once again during testing before its launch. This time, two test mules were seen together at night in Hyderabad. Automobile enthusiasts Abhiram and Rushlane shared spy shots of the Vision S, revealing glimpses of the SUV’s front LED lighting and grille. The images also showcased rear pillar lights similar to those of the Scorpio, along with illuminated tail lights. Let’s explore what the company might offer in this new SUV.
Front Lighting of Mahindra Vision S Revealed
Both test mules exhibit an upright and tall design at the front, featuring six vertical grille slots arranged in two groups of three. Inside these slots, horizontal slats are visible. Additionally, the bumper below the grille has two large rectangular cutouts. While most of the front is still covered, its design resembles the design patent of the Vision S revealed in October. The night-time images show the LED lighting clearly at both edges of the front, including a bright lamp at the top, a small horizontal light element leading towards the grille, and a vertical lighting section on the outer edge.
The side profile displays a flat roofline, square wheel arches, and a short rear overhang. A spare wheel is mounted on the tailgate. Both test mules are equipped with normal door mirrors, while the concept design patent showcased camera-based mirrors. This indicates that there may be some design changes in the production model. Previously, automobile enthusiast Joshua also spotted one of the Vision S test mules.
Rear Pillar Lights Similar to Scorpio
The new spy images also show the rear of the Vision S illuminated. The upper part of the rear pillar features several red light segments near the rear windshield. Below these, a separate tail lamp unit is visible next to the spare wheel. The design of the upper pillar lights is reminiscent of the Scorpio Classic and Scorpio N. Additionally, the lower light cluster includes a small horizontal section leading towards the tailgate.
Vision S Set for Launch in 2027
Mahindra is developing the Vision S on its new NU_IQ modular architecture. This SUV will be introduced in the segment under four meters in length. Earlier images of the test mules revealed features like two horizontal displays, vertical AC vents, and an electronic parking brake. However, complete details about the final cabin and features have not yet been disclosed.
Regarding the engine options, it is expected to offer a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol and a 1.5-liter diesel engine. Mahindra has already confirmed that the NU_IQ platform supports both ICE and electric powertrains. However, details about which engines and powertrains will be available in the production model of the Vision S are still pending. The Mahindra Vision S is scheduled to be launched in the first half of 2027 and is expected to fit into the segment between the XUV 3XO and Thar OG in the company’s portfolio.
