Mahindra is all set to take the wraps off a new electric SUV concept called the Vision S, and the buzz is real. Slated to debut at the upcoming ‘Freedom_Nu’ event on August 15, this new concept is widely believed to preview the electric version of the Scorpio or Scorpio N—one of the most iconic nameplates in Mahindra’s lineup.
Teaser
Mahindra’s teaser image doesn’t give away much, but it does reveal enough to keep fans talking. You can spot a flat bonnet design, a signature Mahindra-style slatted grille (or what would be a grille on a traditional SUV), and bold contrast-colored elements around the wheel arches. There also seem to be scoop-like design accents on the hood, giving it a sporty touch while keeping the rugged vibe intact.
The overall silhouette appears to retain that familiar Scorpio or Scorpio N boxy shape, which is great news for fans of its commanding road presence. Mahindra seems to be walking a fine line—modernizing its design for the EV era while staying true to what makes the Scorpio special in the first place.
Background
This is not a one-off project. Mahindra had already made waves in 2023 by announcing plans to electrify its most iconic nameplates—namely the Thar, Scorpio, and Bolero. The electric versions are expected to go by the names Thar.e, Scorpio.e, and Bolero.e respectively.
The Vision S concept will give us our first real glimpse of what the Scorpio N EV might look like. Just like how the Thar.e gave us a taste of Mahindra’s EV ambitions last year, this concept aims to bring the same excitement for Scorpio lovers. Interestingly, Mahindra also has a concept T lined up, which is expected to be the next evolution of the Thar.e platform.
Design
From what can be gathered so far, the Vision S doesn’t seem like a massive departure from the ICE-powered Scorpio N in terms of shape. The aggressive front end, broad shoulders, and strong character lines are likely to remain. What will change is the design language to match EV aesthetics—expect sleek lighting elements, aerodynamic tweaks, and a cleaner, more futuristic look overall.
The design strategy seems to balance legacy and innovation—something Mahindra is keen on achieving as it repositions itself in the electric space.
Expectations
This concept is all about setting the tone. The final production version of the Scorpio N EV is still some time away, but the Vision S will lay the groundwork. It’s also a hint that Mahindra is not going to shy away from electrifying its tough, ladder-frame SUVs, which are typically not the easiest to convert to EVs due to weight and performance challenges.
What’s most exciting is that the Vision S and the upcoming Thar.e-based Concept T will likely showcase Mahindra’s unique approach to rugged EVs. While most electric SUVs lean toward soft-roaders, Mahindra seems to be doubling down on capability and design.
Future
The Scorpio.e is more than just another EV in the making. It’s a signal that the next chapter of Indian SUVs will blend the legacy of off-road icons with zero-emission powertrains. And with the Vision S concept being the first proper look at the Scorpio’s electric future, August 15 is definitely a date to mark on the calendar.
