At its Freedom NU event held in Mumbai on August 15, 2025, Mahindra Auto surprised the world with four new concept vehicles. These were called the Vision X and Vision S sub 4m SUVs and then we had the larger Vision T and Vision SXT. Although these were concepts, testing of a production-spec version of the Vision S has already begun ahead of its debut.
The Vision In these patents, we can see two steering wheels – one belonging to the Vision

These four concepts, showcased by Mahindra in Mumbai last year, are based on the company’s new NU_IQ platform. It is a modular and scalable platform that also supports multiple powertrains (petrol, diesel, EV). This new platform is pushing the boundaries of innovation and smart features for India and the world.
Production-specific versions resulting from these concepts are expected to be global models that will be sold in South Africa, Australia and other markets. The Vision S has started testing in the country and is speculated to be an extension of the Scorpio nameplate to the sub 4 meter SUV segment with a sophisticated all-four independent suspension and other fancy elements.

This steering wheel is now patented by Mahindra in India. It’s not quite a circular steering wheel and is slightly inclined towards being rectangular. It has a four-spoke steering wheel with a futuristic look. The rest of the cabin will also be futuristic, with dual 12.3-inch screens on the dashboard, clean center console, two trapezoidal screens for dual-zone climate control and more.
Vision T and Vision SXT steering wheel
Unlike the Vision It has been promoted as the electric concept of Thar Roxx with the T in the name supposedly denoting Thar. It is a 5-door concept with a prominent front grille and a textbook SUV silhouette. The Vision SXT, on the other hand, is like a pickup truck version of the Vision T with a smaller loading bay.
The Vision SXT reminds us of the Bolero Invader of yesteryear and has a bit more character than the Vision T. On the inside, both the Vision T and the Vision SXT get similar interiors, with the Vision SXT decked out in bright colours, while the Vision T takes a sober route. We can see elements like a portrait style touchscreen infotainment screen and a horizontal instrument cluster.
