Mahindra and Mahindra has introduced Vision S and Vision X, bold concept SUVs built on the versatile NU_IQ modular platform, and this move just dropped a glimpse into the future of mobility.
Showcased at its Freedom NU event, these concepts introduce the company’s advanced NU_IQ modular architecture, implying bold designs and flexible powertrain possibilities that may redefine the SUV landscape in India.

Vision S: Rugged and ready for adventure
The Vision S takes cues from Mahindra’s iconic Scorpio lineup — rugged silhouette with modern twists.
It features boxy proportions, sharp vertical LED daily running lamps (DRLs), eye-catching L-shaped headlamp clusters, and pixel-style fog lamps neatly integrated at the edges of the bumper.
A radar sensor hints at ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), suggesting that this tough-looking SUV could also be technologically advanced.
What makes it even more exciting? The NU_IQ platform — on which Vision S is built — supports both internal combustion and electric powertrains.
Whether Mahindra rolls it out as a petrol, diesel, or electric variant, the Vision S concept sets expectations high for a blend of toughness and modern tech integration.
Vision X: Sleek, sporty, and next-level SUV
On the other end of the design spectrum is the Vision X — a sleek, youthful SUV that hints at a coupé form.
It boasts of a sharply sloped roofline, flared side skirts (reminiscent of those on the BE 6), and replaces traditional mirrors with futuristic camera-based units.
The front fascia is minimalistic yet bold, with integrated LED DRLs and headlamp clusters embedded into the bumper for a cleaner, streamlined look.
Positioned potentially above the XUV 3XO in Mahindra’s lineup, the Vision X hints at a new premium family SUV — possibly in the BE 6 bracket, available in multiple fuel options.
Its design teases what could be the future face of performance-oriented family vehicles.
Power behind the vision: NU_IQ modular platform
At the heart of both concept vehicles lies NU_IQ, a versatile platform designed for future mobility.
This modular underpinning is capable of supporting internal combustion, hybrid, or fully electric powertrains.
It can be adapted for full-size SUVs as well as sub‑4-metre ones — increasing design flexibility and cost efficiency.
Mahindra’s recent exhibition of Vision T and SXT concepts adds to its vision of platform-wide innovation.
These concept models showcase a cohesive strategy — an ecosystem of vehicles sharing a core architecture, but differentiated by purpose, size, and design personality.
