Overview
- New spy photos and a video circulated in early July show the Vision S test mule with a high‑set dashboard, vertically oriented air vents, a large central touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster.
- The prototype carries a twin‑spoke steering wheel similar to the BE 6, which sources say may be a temporary test part rather than the final production item.
- Photographs clearly show a conventional manual gear lever and related controls, confirming at least one internal‑combustion, manual‑transmission variant is under development.
- Mahindra is testing the Vision S on the NU_IQ architecture, a multi‑energy platform the company plans to use for petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric models, with production expected around 2027.
- Observers note the car’s upright proportions and Scorpio N design cues that position the Vision S as a sub‑4m ‘mini Scorpio N’, and several higher‑spec features seen earlier—panoramic roof, independent rear suspension and radar‑based Level‑2 ADAS—remain unconfirmed pending further validation.
