Mahindra Vision S: A new thought and a glimpse of the future SUV
On Independence Day, when the whole country was celebrating a new hope and passion, Mahindra also showed something which was no less than a dream for Indian SUV lovers. The company showcased not one but four concept SUVs, the biggest highlight of which was Mahindra Vision S. This concept gives a glimpse that gives us an idea about the future Mahindra Bolero. And this time it is not just about the design of a car, but also about a new era architecture and advanced technology.
Mahindra Vision S Concept: Design that wins hearts
The Mahindra Vision S Concept stands out and represents the company’s new Heartcore Design philosophy. The SUV exudes a bold and powerful presence, just like the current Bolero but with a modern twist. One can feel a distinct confidence at first glance at its design. The boxy body shape and two-tone colour scheme give the car a very bold and powerful look, as if it wants to make its own presence felt on the road.
The L-shape LED headlamps at the front and the sparkling LED inserts between the rectangular grille give the car a premium touch, which will instantly attract today’s modern SUV buyers. From the side, the flush-fitting door handles, mazboot roof rails, sporty alloy wheels and side-mounted storage box further strengthen its rugged character.
The tailgate-mounted spare wheel towards the back and the L-shape LED tail-lamps give it an absolutely authentic SUV look, just like one meant for real adventure.
The design elements of Mahindra Vision S make it clear that the upcoming Bolero will not be just a car but a statement. The most important thing is that this model is based on Mahindra’s modular NU-IQ platform, which supports ICE (internal combustion engine), hybrid and electric powertrains. Meaning, it is possible to see the same SUV in multiple versions in the future.
Mahindra Vision S Production Model: Picture of Next-Gen Bolero
Ever since Mahindra showcased the Vision S concept, there has been a buzz in the auto world about its production version. A few days ago, the production vehicle of Mahindra Vision S was spotted testing on Indian roads. This is a big hint that Mahindra is working quite aggressively on its next Bolero.
The SUV seen in the spy shots looks quite similar to the concept but some practical changes are also seen in the production version. The L-shaped headlamps of the concept have been replaced by round projector LED headlamps which remind us of the Thar Roxx. Mahindra‘s signature grille and redesigned bumper make the front look more aggressive.
The side profile clearly shows squared-off wheel arches, 5-spoke alloy wheels and flared rear fenders. The rear design gets vertically stacked tail lamps which give a fresh yet bold feel. Clear images of the cabin are yet to be revealed, but spy shots confirm that the interior will have a lot of upmarket features.
Mahindra Vision S Cabin and Features: Modern and Premium
It is expected that the interior of Mahindra Vision S will be completely new, which will get a full package of modern features. Features like large touchscreen infotainment system, fully digital instrument cluster, premium upholstery and sunroof will make it a premium SUV. The same futuristic cabin feel that is found in the new models of Mahindra is also expected in Vision S.
Mahindra Vision S Engine and Powertrain Options
The biggest strength will be its NU-IQ platform, which will support hybrid and electric versions along with ICE. The test mule seen so far appears to be an ICE variant. The SUV is expected to get a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel engine and Mahindra could also offer its powerful mStallion turbo-petrol engine.
Speculations about electric and hybrid versions are strong and with Mahindra’s aggressive push towards its EV line-up, it seems the car could also come in an EV avatar in the future.
Mahindra Vision S Launch Timeline And Pricing
Market experts believe that the production version of Mahindra Vision S, which would be the next-gen Bolero, could hit the market by 2027. Mahindra brings every SUV with a competitive pricing strategy, and the same is expected this time too. This model can become a big challenge in the sub-4-metre SUV segment, especially for those buyers who want modern design and features along with ruggedness.
Mahindra Vision S: New form of Future Bolero
Overall, Mahindra Vision S is a concept that can take the Indian SUV culture to a new level. It is not just a car, but an emotion for those people who consider Bolero a part of their life. Now when it will come with modern design, hybrid/EV options and premium features, then it will come forward as a new generation Bolero.
