Mahindra Vision  S, SXT, T, X electric SUVs: Expected to launch in August 2025, price to be announced.

Aastha Pathak

Introduction

Mahindra commemorates the future. From the launch of the Thar and XUV700 to the game-changing XUV.e8 and Thar.e concepts, Mahindra has made Independence Day a platform for making daring car announcements. And this year, 2025, is no exception—bolder and more electrifying than ever before.

This year, Mahindra will unveil not one but four new all-concept SUVs:  Mahindra Vision  S, Mahindra Vision SXT, Mahindra Vision ST, and Mahindra Vision X. Developed on the new Freedom NU platform, these SUVs are the most significant step yet for Mahindra into the electric age. Ranging from rugged off-roaders to futuristic city crossovers, each one is a unique expression of power, design, and zero-emission capability.

The Freedom NU Platform

Engineered in-house with world-class expertise, the Freedom NU architecture is capable of hosting internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrids, and electric drivetrains — all on the same underlying structure. This provides Mahindra with the freedom to customise each model not just to market favour, but to the unique requirements of its customer base — from rugged off-roaders to city family SUVs.

The platform is all the more important because it is production-ready. Mahindra has already laid the foundation for this at its Chakan plant in Pune, which is being scaled up to produce up to 1.2 lakh cars a year on this architecture. The Freedom NU is not a concept exhibit alone; it is a platform designed to make cars in volumes — not only for the Indian market, but also for international markets.

Designed for scale: up to 1.2 lakh units/year in Chakan.

Alignment with the current XUV.e8, BE.05, and Thar.e concepts.

The logical next step is to transition from concept hints to production-ready, platform-based SUVs for mass rollout.

Model Breakdowns

Mahindra’s Mahindra Vision series isn’t only a styling exercise — each of these concept SUVs is targeting a particular segment and buyer psyche. Although complete technical details are being made available on August 15, preliminary teasers and design leaks already provide us with a solid idea of what each Mahindra Vision model represents.

Mahindra Vision T – The Electric Off-Road Icon

Mahindra Vision is the spiritual successor to the Thar—the concept has been revamped for a cleaner, more connected future. While maintaining the iconic boxy stance, high ground clearance, and tough-as-nails personality of the original Thar, Mahindra Vision   T will be the launchpad for electric adventure in India. A dual-motor AWD setup, short overhangs, and off-road capable software integration are to be expected. This is Mahindra’s response to a zero-emission Jeep Wrangler substitute — made for those who don’t need to sacrifice thrills for sustainability.

Mahindra Vision S – The Scorpio’s Electrified Heritage

Mahindra Vision S continues the muscular and aggressive shape, hinting at the Scorpio-N, but with futuristic design cues and sleeker aerodynamics. It will likely be a mid- to full-size family SUV with a potent electric powertrain. Teasers so far indicate chiseled LED DRLs, upright posture, and a broad, menacing front face. For those who adore Scorpio DNA but need EV pragmatism, the Mahindra Vision S will be the ideal crossover.

Mahindra Vision SXT – The Electrified Utility Beast

Rugged yet refined, the Mahindra Vision SXT is something entirely new in Mahindra’s current lineup. Consider it as a hybrid of an extreme utility car and a lifestyle truck — dual spare wheels, clamshell bonnet, and beefy dimensions all shout authority. It’s designed for extreme environments and utility. It might borrow its DNA from the Scorpio platform, but it was developed for electric or hybrid use. For commercial buyers, adventurers, or defence markets, Mahindra Vision   SXT might be Mahindra’s most adaptive weapon.

Mahindra Vision X – The Futuristic Urban Compact

In the opposite camp is Mahindra Vision   X, a slim, tech-loaded, city-centric SUV concept. Small but emotive, it’s rumoured to foreshadow the next-generation XUV300 EV or even a new sub-4m electric SUV. Curved LED pieces, flush door handles, coupe-like styling, and hi-tech interiors are on the cards. Perfect for city driving, this car can be Mahindra’s best bet to take on the Tata Nexon EV and Hyundai Exter EV shortly.

Strategic Context

Mahindra’s Vision range is not so much about electric ambition or space-age design — it is a strategic push in an increasingly competitive auto warzone. With India moving towards sustainable mobility, the fight in the EV arena is heating up with hotshot players like Tata, Hyundai, and the Maruti-Toyota collaboration already making aggressive inroads.

Mahindra, which has long been known for its hardy SUVs and profound rural penetration, is now making a credible pitch as an EV player. The Mahindra Vision   S, SXT, T, and X are evidence of that transition — a combination of Mahindra’s heritage strength with contemporary electrification. Having been developed on the versatile Freedom NU platform, this family gives the company a special edge: the flexibility to cater to urban and off-road markets alike with ICE, hybrid, and electric versions — all without having to redesign core platforms.

It’s a plan designed to scale, speed, and adapt — enabling Mahindra to serve India’s varied demand profiles while setting the stage for expansion overseas. With this step, Mahindra is not merely keeping up with the EV revolution — it’s attempting to spearhead it, on its own rough, distinctly Indian terms.

Launch & Reveal Event

Mahindra has turned August 15 into more than Independence Day — it’s a symbolic springboard for the brand’s largest automotive unveilings. From the resurrection of the Thar in 2020 to the sci-fi Thar e and Global Pik-Up in 2023, Mahindra has consistently leveraged this national platform to reveal what’s next.

This year, on August 15, 2025, the company will further extend that legacy by launching the Mahindra Vision   S, SXT, T, and X — four concept SUVs that mark the next phase of its electrification journey. The event, which is expected to be held in Mumbai, is likely to have high-production visuals, crisp concept presentations, and a live digital broadcast.

Expected Pricing Mahindra Vision  S, SXT, T, and X Electric SUVs

Mahindra’s Vision range has not been announced yet, but early segment positioning and market analysis give some indications. The Mahindra Vision, an electric off-roader based on the Thar, is expected to be priced between ₹18–22 lakh, targeting adventure enthusiasts and lifestyle SUV consumers. The Mahindra Vision  S, being a full-size electric SUV with Scorpio-N DNA, may find itself in the ₹25–30 lakh segment, going against upcoming models such as the Harrier EV and Hyundai Creta EV.

The Mahindra Vision  SXT, owing to its size, pickup utility, and two-bike functionality-based appeal, might fetch a slightly higher price — ranging from ₹28–35 lakh, provided it is available with hybrid or AWD options. On the opposite side, the closely packed and urban-centric

Mahindra Vision X is poised to be the cheapest EV SUV from Mahindra in this lineup, expected to cost between ₹15–18 lakh, directly pitting it against the Tata Nexon EV and the anticipated Maruti eVX compact. These prices are estimates and will ultimately depend on the production specifications of the final cars, battery packs, and government subsidies at launch.

Production & Rollout Timeline Mahindra Vision  S, SXT, T, and X Electric SUVs

Mahindra Vision  EV concepts will be shifted from futuristic concept cars to production-line cars within the next two to three years. These models will already be confirmed for the Freedom NU platform, which is being engineered for scalable, multi-powertrain applications.

Production will be based at the Chakan facility, where Mahindra will be ramping up volumes to more than 1.2 lakh units per annum. Going by Mahindra’s past reveal-to-launch timelines, the initial production model — likely the Mahindra Vision ST or Mahindra Vision  X — may launch as late as 2026 or early 2027, with phased rollouts of the S and SXT versions thereafter.

Even internal reports indicate that Mahindra is likely to start pre-production testing in mid-2026, as in line with its worldwide EV plans. While exact timing will depend on regulations, supply chains, and market conditions, Mahindra seems bent on rolling out its EV future on volume — not in dashing concepts, but in serious, production-capable machines by the end of the decade.

Concepts can be ready for production around late 2026 or early 2027.

Scalable output designed across ICE, hybrid, and EV models.

Conclusion

The Mahindra Vision  S, SXT, T, and X are not just electric concept SUVs but rather Mahindra’s statement of intent for the mobility of the future. These models blend the brand’s brutal SUV past with a futuristic design, electric drivetrains, and a scalable, multi-energy platform. They cater to different customer segments, from off-road enthusiasts to city dwellers, positioning Mahindra as the leader across segments.

The core of this strategy is the Freedom_NU platform, one that will be able to flex quickly in response to shifting demand, whether ICE, hybrid, or electric. As India’s EV market is picking up pace, Mahindra isn’t waiting in the wings to play catch-up — it’s gaining traction to lead the charge. The big reveal on August 15, 2025, may well be a watershed not only for the company, but for India’s wider electric vehicle revolution.
