Mahindra Vision S Concept: Mahindra has taken the wraps off the Mahindra Vision S concept, giving us the clearest glimpse yet of the next-generation Bolero/Neo/Neo+. Expected to launch in early 2027, the SUV will be based on Mahindra’s all-new NU-IQ platform that supports multiple powertrains, including petrol, diesel, hybrid and even electric vehicles. With an expected price of ₹ 10.50 to ₹ 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Vision S is set to be one of Mahindra’s most important SUVs of this decade.
Bold, Adventure-Ready Design
The Vision S is inspired by Mahindra’s strong DNA but also features a fresh and modern design. It has a boxy, upright SUV look reminiscent of a smaller Scorpio and features design features such as:
- Dual-pod LED headlamps with pixel-like fog lamp setup
- Inverted L-shaped DRLs for a futuristic look
- A prominent hood scoop and flared wheel arches
- 19-inch star-shaped alloy wheels
- Sleek flush door handles and camera-based ORVMs
This design language makes the Vision S look strong and modern, suitable for both urban roads and off-road adventures.
Premium and Modern Cabin
Inside, Mahindra has introduced a completely new design. The dual-tone navy blue and grey interior looks premium and comes with the following features:
- Leatherette seats with contrast white stitching
- Dual-screen dashboard setup (digital driver display + infotainment screen)
- New 3-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls
- Practical features like split-folding rear seats and large boot space
Overall, the cabin blends rugged looks and premium technology, ensuring that the Vision S is not just rugged but also comfortable for families.
Powertrain and Platform
Although Mahindra hasn’t revealed the exact engine details yet, the Vision S will be built on the flexible NU-IQ platform. This will allow Mahindra to offer it with the following options:
- ICE (petrol/diesel) engines
- Mild-hybrid options
- Possible electric vehicle (EV) version in the future
This flexibility ensures that the Vision S can evolve with changing customer needs and regulations.
Launch Timeline and Positioning
- Launch date: Early 2027 (The first model of the Vision Concept will go into production)
- Price: Estimated ₹10.50 – 17.50 lakh
- Positioning: Will be positioned above the Bolero and Bolero Neo, possibly replacing them or evolving them into a modern avatar.
The Vision S will target customers who like the rugged reliability of the Bolero but want a more stylish, tech-packed and future-ready SUV.
The Bigger Vision Lineup
Along with the Vision S, Mahindra also showcased three more concepts:
- Vision T – a rugged Thar-inspired SUV (launch in 2027-28)
- Vision X – a compact modern SUV that previews the next-generation XUV 3XO (launch in 2028-29)
- Vision SXT – a lifestyle pickup concept with Thar-inspired styling (launch in 2028)
Among these, the Vision S will hit the roads first, making it a key product for Mahindra’s next phase of growth.
Final Take
The Mahindra Vision S is a bold step into the future while staying true to the brand’s strong SUV identity. With its strong design, premium interiors and flexible platform, it has the potential to redefine the Bolero legacy for a new generation of buyers.
If Mahindra delivers the Vision S as well as the concept, it could become one of the most impressive SUVs in the ₹ 10-17 lakh segment by 2027.
