Mahindra Vision S was recently spotted testing and life-like render images from the production guys have also surfaced. It would be perfect to call it Mini Scorpio N, because its boxy, rugged and upright stance is exactly like the Scorpio N, only the size is sub-4 meter. This SUV built on NU_IQ platform is going to be launched in 2027 and can take the Indian market by storm.
Talking about competition, it will compete directly with vehicles like Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Maruti Brezza, but will give a premium touch with rugged lifestyle and off-road appeal. Its starting ex-showroom price is likely to be less than Rs 10 lakh, which will make it a value for money and family-adventure car. Let's take a look at the possible details.
Design and look
In the renders and spy shots, the Vision S looks completely boxy and funky. The flat clamshell bonnet, wide 7-slat grille, circular headlamps, large scuff plates, squared wheel arches, slab-sided body and tailgate-mounted spare wheel give it a rugged look like the Land Rover Defender.

Interior, Features and Safety
Interior spy shots of the February 2026 show panoramic sunroof (full-length), touchscreen infotainment, physical buttons, manual AC controls and fabric seats. This seems to be a mid-spec variant. The concept had dual large screens, blue-black theme, ventilated seats and a new steering wheel.
Practicality has increased with 60:40 split on the rear seats, adjustable headrests for all three, cup holders and door pockets. Features like wireless Android Auto-Apple CarPlay, cruise control and 360° camera will be available in the top variant. Mahindra is targeting 5-star GNCAP. 6 airbags standard, level-2 ADAS, TPMS, ESC and electronic parking brake will be available.
Engine and Performance
Diesel-automatic is confirmed. AT gearbox will be available with 1.5-litre diesel (117hp, 300Nm). 1.2-litre turbo petrol, hybrid and EV options are also ready. The NU_IQ platform supports both FWD/AWD. Easy handling in the city, good torque on the highway and strong performance in light off-roading is expected.
