Mahindra Unveils NU_IQ Platform and Four Bold SUV Concepts Under Vision 2027
Mahindra & Mahindra has taken a big step toward its future SUV roadmap with the global debut of its NU_IQ platform and four new concept vehicles, revealed on Independence Day as part of the company’s Vision 2027 plan. The automaker confirmed that production models based on this platform will hit the roads in 2027, catering to both Indian and international markets.
NU_IQ Platform: What It Brings
The NU_IQ platform is a flexible, multi-energy architecture capable of supporting various powertrains, from conventional ICE to advanced hybrid and EV setups. A standout feature is its flat-floor design, a first for an ICE SUV, which maximizes cabin space and boot capacity. Customers can also expect both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, enhancing versatility.
Four Concept SUVs: A Glimpse Into the Future
Mahindra’s latest concepts reflect its new ‘Heartcore’ design philosophy, blending bold styling with practicality. Here’s what was showcased:
- Vision T: An evolution of the 2023 Thar.e, this rugged SUV hints at the next-gen Thar with a boxy military-inspired stance, vertical grille, chunky off-road tyres, and a striking yellow tow hook.
- Vision S: Likely a future Scorpio iteration, it sports a squared-off silhouette, L-shaped LED lights, flush door handles, and roof-mounted lamps for a modern yet rugged identity.
- Vision X: A sub-four-metre SUV with sharp geometric lines, gloss-black wheel arches, connected LED tail lamps, and a sloping roofline, designed for urban buyers seeking style with practicality.
- Vision SXT: A pickup-inspired SUV, resembling the Vision T but with a loading bay and dual spare tyres, aimed at adventure seekers and multi-purpose utility.
Inside the Cabin
All future models will integrate Mahindra’s NU_UX technology interface, paired with next-gen Integrated Domain Architecture, promising an intuitive and connected driving experience.
With this bold showcase, Mahindra has clearly positioned itself to redefine its SUV lineup by 2027, aiming to balance ruggedness, innovation, and versatility for global markets.
