ON AUGUST 15, Mahindra & Mahindra showcased four concept SUVs—Vision.T, Vision.S, Vision.SXT, and Vision.X—each aimed at different customer segments and built on the all-new NU_IQ multi-energy platform.

These four vehicles differ from the previous concept reveals in Hyderabad (in February 2023) and in Cape Town (in August 2023) in many ways:

Fuel-agnostic platform
The biggest change is the NU_IQ modular multi-energy platform. Unlike previous showcases, NU_IQ will support petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains, across body styles.

The Hyderabad and Cape Town concepts were mostly based on the INGLO platform (Indian at heart, Global in reach), and focused on electric-origin SUVs, not on petrol, diesel, or hybrid.

The automaker is now focusing on fuel-agnostic vehicles, instead of pure electric.
