Have you heard the buzz about Mahindra’s latest concept SUV? At its recent Freedom NU event in Mumbai, Mahindra pulled the covers off the Vision X SUV Concept, giving us a glimpse into the brand’s future direction. Unlike the brand’s usual rugged, boxy design, this concept carries a sleeker, futuristic appeal that blends modern styling with innovative tech.
A Fresh Look Beyond the Boxy Design
The Vision X is expected to arrive in the B-SUV (sub-4 meter) segment, but its styling is a clear departure from the typical compact SUV formula.
- Front Design: Split LED headlights with sleek DRLs on top and vertical projector units below. The bold X-patterned grille proudly wears Mahindra’s twin-peaks logo.
- Side Profile: Smooth body lines with a floating roof effect, flush door handles, clamshell bonnet, square wheel arches, and sporty dual-tone alloy wheels.
- Rear End: Connected LED taillights, a split roof spoiler, and a muscular bumper with vertical reflectors for a futuristic finish.
This design language not only breaks away from Mahindra’s boxy heritage but also positions the Vision X as a more urban, aerodynamic SUV.
Inside the Cabin: Tech-First and Minimalist
Step inside, and you’ll notice Mahindra has gone for a multi-layered dashboard with a futuristic theme:
- Twin 12.3-inch displays (one for infotainment, one for instrumentation)
- Double D-cut steering wheel with mounted controls
- Heads-Up Display (HUD) for easier driving focus
- Dual-zone climate control screens for passengers
- Floating central console with clean cupholder placement
- Gear selector repositioned to the steering column, freeing up cabin space
The Vision X aims to bring comfort, convenience, and connected technology together, reflecting Mahindra’s new design philosophy.
Possible Powertrain Options
While Mahindra hasn’t confirmed the exact engine lineup, early reports suggest the production version may come as an ICE SUV with:
- Petrol and diesel engine options
- Manual and automatic gearbox choices
- Strong design inspiration taken directly from this concept
This means while the Vision X is futuristic, Mahindra could still balance practicality with its next-gen design cues.
Why This Concept Matters
For Mahindra, the Vision X isn’t just a showpiece. It signals a big shift in how the company plans to design compact SUVs for the future. With competition heating up in India’s B-SUV space, this concept suggests Mahindra wants to blend premium design with accessible practicality.
