After Vision.T,S,SXT, Mahindra teases fourth concept, the Vision.X

India Today3 days ago
Mahindra has yet again sparked excitement for its upcoming Independence Day showcase on August 15, 2025, with the latest teaser for its Vision.X concept SUV. Unlike the rugged, large-bodied concepts revealed earlier: the Vision.T, Vision.S, and Vision.SXT, the Vision.X appears to chart a distinctly different path as a smaller, urban-focused SUV, possibly aimed at family buyers. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahindra Automotive (@mahindra_auto)advertisementVisually, the Vision.X teaser hints at a sleek and modern design language, suggesting it might be a hybrid or electric version of the XUV 3XO, or potentially a new car positioned below Mahindra's larger SUVs. Its presence in grey completes the colour scheme teased earlier with Mahindra's new Freedom_NU platform, which showcased white, yellow, orange, and grey hues linked to each concept.The Freedom_NU platform, under which the Vision.X is expected to be built, will likely be a highly versatile architecture designed to support a range of powertrains, including internal combustion engines, hybrids, and full electric setups. This flexibility signals that Vision.X could play a pivotal role in Mahindra's strategy to diversify its portfolio further.
While Mahindra has kept technical details under wraps, Vision.X stands out as part of the brand's broader vision to diversify beyond hardcore off-roaders like the Thar and the rugged Scorpio. The Vision.T, widely believed to preview the Thar.e electric off-roader, hints at Mahindra's efforts to blend rugged heritage with modern EV technology. Meanwhile, the Vision.S is anticipated to be an all-electric evolution of the Scorpio, designed with a muscular, boxy silhouette and advanced features like Level-2 ADAS and a large infotainment screen. The Vision.SXT, still shrouded in mystery, appears to be the pickup version of the Scorpio-N.Together, these concepts, including Vision.X, embody Mahindra's growing ambition in both conventional and electric SUV segments. As urban customers increasingly seek tech-forward, eco-friendly vehicles, Vision.X might be Mahindra's answer to the surging demand in the compact and midsize SUV categories.All eyes are now on August 15, when Mahindra will officially lift the covers off Vision.X, alongside the rest of its Vision series and the Freedom_NU platform. The showcase promises to mark a significant step in Mahindra's journey toward future-ready SUVs and electrification.Stay tuned to Auto Today for live coverage of Mahindra's big reveal on August 15.Subscribe to Auto Today Magazine- Ends

Mahindra Hints At Next-Gen SUV Lineup With Freedom_NU Teasers

The Vision T, Vision S, Vision SXT, and Vision X are likely early glimpses of a brand-new flexible vehicle platform. Mahindra has kicked off a teaser campaign called freedom_nu ahead of its annual Independence Day event on August 15. At the event, the company will reveal a 'new platform vision" and showcase four new concept SUVs. The teasers feature both electric (EV) and internal combustion engine (ICE) versions, indicated by Mahindra's Twin Peaks logos, suggesting the upcoming platform may support multiple fuel types. The four concept SUVs have been named Vision T, Vision S, Vision X, and Vision SXT. All the teaser images show a top-down view of the bonnet, giving small clues about each model's identity and design. These concepts are expected to lay the foundation for future SUV families under Mahindra's strategy of building a 'house of brands." It's sleek, it's sharp, it's athletic. Vision.X joins the #FREEDOM_NU line up this 15th August 2025 #MahindraAuto #MahindraElectricOriginSUVs — Mahindra Automotive (@Mahindra_Auto) July 7, 2025 Let's take a closer look at each of them. Vision T The Vision T teaser was released first. The 'T' most likely connects it to the Thar lineup. The bonnet is square with bold wheel arches, visible bonnet latches, and rugged all-terrain tyres. These elements hint that this could be an updated or near-production version of the Thar.e concept, which Mahindra showcased in South Africa in 2023. The Vision SXT is a bit of a mystery. However, the design closely matches the Vision T, with similar bonnet latches and rugged styling. This suggests it could be a Thar-based variant—possibly a pickup truck, inspired by the Global Pik Up concept Mahindra revealed last year. Vision X This SUV appears more refined and less off-road focused than the others. It features sleek, sporty lines and seems to be part of the XUV family. Many believe this could be the much-awaited XEV 7e, a premium, urban SUV that would sit alongside the XEV 9e coupe SUV. The XEV 7e has already been spotted in testing and may borrow design elements from the XUV700 and Mahindra's newer EVs. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

India, Brazil, Argentina chart new economic vision for South-South collaboration

As the global order transitions into a multipolar framework, India's economic engagement with Latin America, particularly Brazil and Argentina, is emerging as a cornerstone for advancing South-South cooperation. These relationships go beyond trade statistics and diplomatic overtures; they symbolise a shared commitment to sustainable growth, technological progress, and equitable development. At Mahindra, we view this as a transformative opportunity where innovation, business, and purpose come together to create meaningful change. PM Modi is in Argentina on an official visit on July 4 and 5, at the invitation of the President of the Republic of Argentina, Javier Milei. (AFP) The Commercial Landscape: India-Argentina bilateral cooperation has seen remarkable growth in recent years. Trade between the two nations peaked at USD 6.4 billion in 2022, with India emerging as Argentina's fourth-largest trading partner. In 2024, annual bilateral trade rose by 33% to USD 5.23 billion, further solidifying India's position as a key export destination for Argentina. Argentina is a major supplier of edible oils to India, with vegetable oils constituting over 80% of its exports. However, the relationship extends far beyond agricultural commodities, encompassing sectors like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and textiles. With cumulative Indian investment in Argentina nearing USD 1.2 billion, and Argentine investments in India totaling USD 120 million, the economic ties between the two countries are poised to deepen further. Brazil remains India's largest trading partner in South America, with bilateral trade reaching USD 12.2 billion in 2024–25. Indian investments in Brazil exceed USD 6 billion, spanning sectors like pharma, automobiles, and energy. Brazilian investments in India, meanwhile, focus on mining, steel, and bio-energy. Defence cooperation is a standout aspect of this relationship, underscored by joint development initiatives like Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft and the C-390 Millennium transport aircraft. Brazil's leadership in biofuels, coupled with India's engineering prowess, sets the stage for transformative partnerships in renewable energy. Opportunities in Pharma, IT, Health, Auto, and Manufacturing The synergies between India and Latin America are especially pronounced in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, information technology, healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing. Pharma and Healthcare India's pharmaceutical industry, renowned for its expertise in producing affordable generics, is uniquely positioned to contribute to Latin America's healthcare landscape. Regulatory alignment and increasing demand for cost-effective medicines offer Indian companies a chance to enhance public health access in Brazil and Argentina. By leveraging India's strengths in pharmaceutical research and development (R&D) and manufacturing, these countries can scale their healthcare systems to deliver better outcomes for their populations. IT and Digital Governance India's digital transformation journey, epitomised by the India Stack - a suite of open-source digital public goods like Aadhaar, UPI, and DigiLocker, provides valuable lessons for Latin America. These platforms have revolutionised service delivery for millions in India, offering scalable templates for financial inclusion, e-governance, and digital identity. Collaborations with Brazilian and Argentine institutions could co-develop frameworks tailored to local needs, enabling governments to empower citizens at unprecedented levels. Automotive and Manufacturing The automotive and manufacturing sectors present fertile ground for joint ventures and co-investment. Brazil's mature automotive ecosystem and Argentina's openness to industrial collaboration create ideal conditions for Indian automakers to set up local assembly units and deepen industrial partnerships. Mahindra's memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Brazil's Embraer on the C-390 Millennium transport aircraft exemplifies the potential for defence-industrial cooperation that extends to civilian manufacturing as well. Defence Exports and Strategic Collaborations Defence cooperation between India and Latin America is gaining momentum, driven by mutual trust and alignment in capabilities. Also Read: PM Modi meets Argentina President Javier Milei with focus on trade ties Brazil's Embraer has established a subsidiary in New Delhi, signalling the seriousness of bilateral partnerships in aerospace and defence. Indian defence exports, such as indigenous solutions for AWACS systems and transport aircraft, offer both strategic autonomy and opportunities to foster innovation ecosystems in both regions. Argentina, too, presents avenues for defence technology partnerships in areas like surveillance, maritime logistics, and shared security. These collaborations not only strengthen bilateral ties but also enhance regional stability in the Southern Hemisphere. Minerals, Energy, and the Green Transition India's engagement with Brazil and Argentina is underpinned by a shared commitment to a greener, more resilient future. Critical Minerals and Rare Earths Argentina has emerged as a key partner in India's quest for critical minerals, particularly lithium, which is vital for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. The MoU on mineral cooperation signed in August 2022 laid the foundation for strategic collaboration in this sector. The Joint Working Group meeting in January 2025 further solidified this alliance, paving the way for equitable partnerships across the extraction, processing, and battery value chains. India must approach Argentina not merely as a buyer but as a co-investor and technology partner, sharing expertise in sustainable mining and refining practices. These minerals are essential for India's green energy transition and its broader ambitions to achieve net-zero emissions. Energy Security India's growing energy appetite necessitates diversification of supply sources, making Argentina and emerging producers like Guyana critical allies. Indian public sector undertakings have already invested over USD 3 billion in Brazil's oil and gas assets. The next step involves deepening these partnerships through joint R&D, long-term contracts, and integrated value chains that ensure predictability and resilience. Renewable Energy and Biofuels Brazil is a global leader in biofuels, making it an invaluable partner for India's renewable energy ambitions. As a co-founder of the Global Biofuels Alliance, Brazil offers expertise in scaling green fuel solutions, particularly sustainable ethanol production for aviation and transport. Collaborative initiatives that combine Indian engineering with Brazilian bio-innovation could redefine global standards for clean energy and sustainable mobility. The Way Forward: Building South-South 2.0 The time is ripe for a re-imagined model of South-South cooperation --- one that is innovative, equitable, and values-driven. India, Brazil, and Argentina are natural collaborators in realizing this vision. To achieve this, we need bilateral innovation funds to support startups and R&D partnerships; ease of investment frameworks that fast-track approvals and protect investor confidence; and people-to-people bridges such as youth and academic exchange programs to build trust beyond boardrooms. Also Read: PM to begin five-nation tour next week, visit Brazil for Brics Summit At Mahindra, we are committed to leading this charge. Whether it's sustainable agriculture, platforms for digital governance, or next-generation transport solutions, we view Latin America not merely as a market but as a partner in progress. As India journeys toward Amrit Kaal --- the vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047 --- its external partnerships will play a defining role in shaping internal success. In Brazil and Argentina, we find kindred nations ready to co-write the next chapter of prosperity, progress, and planet-positive growth. Anish Shah is the managing director and chief executive officer (CEO) of Mahindra Group. The views expressed are personal.
