A close-to-production test mule of the Mahindra Vision S-based SUV has been spied once again, this time offering a clearer look at the interior. The spy shots suggest that the production-spec Vision S could borrow several design elements from Mahindra’s existing SUVs, including the Thar, Thar Roxx and XUV 7XO. The exterior remains heavily camouflaged, but appears to carry the same design elements seen in previous spy shots.
- XUV 7XO-like steering wheel and a Thar Roxx-like infotainment can be seen
- Thar Roxx-like circular headlights and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel can be spotted
Mahindra Vision S spied: What was spotted?
Some elements seem to be borrowed from the Thar 3-door and Thar Roxx
The new spy shots appear to show the automatic version of the SUV based on the Vision S concept, as indicated by the drive selector on the centre console. The cabin features a two-spoke steering wheel that looks similar to the one seen on the Mahindra XUV 7XO. The infotainment touchscreen appears similar to the 10.25-inch unit used in the Thar 3-door and Thar Roxx, while the climate control panel is the same unit seen in both models. The protruding AC vents are one of the design elements carried over from the Vision S concept. A digital driver’s display housed within a binnacle can also be seen.
The centre console houses the drive selector stalk, an electronic parking brake and some storage spaces. The seats are finished in black fabric upholstery with contrasting white stitching. However, the production-spec SUV could feature a different upholstery theme.
Projector headlights, tailgate-mounted spare wheel can be seen
Although heavily camouflaged, some exterior design elements are visible. These include a grille with vertical struts and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel. The tailgate-mounted spare wheel is expected to help not compromise boot space, which could otherwise be taken up by an underbody-mounted spare, particularly given the vehicle’s sub-4-metre length. The SUV also gets Thar Roxx-like circular headlights with projector elements. Previous test mules have also revealed flush-type door handles and a panoramic sunroof.
The Vision S-based SUV will use Mahindra’s NU_IQ platform, which supports petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric powertrains. As part of its Vision 2027 roadmap announced in 2025, Mahindra said its NU_IQ-based SUVs would enter production from 2027.
