    Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e Launched in Nepal – Priced NPR 57 Lakh, NPR 69 Lakh, Resp.

    Mahindra BE 6 Launched in NepalMost of Mahindra cars sold in India are available in Nepal as well including bestsellers like Scorpio N, XUV700, XUV3XO, XUV400, Bolero and Scorpio/Bolero Pickups
    Expanding its EV portfolio in Nepal, Mahindra has introduced the BE 6 and XEV 9e electric SUVs. The launch took place during the ongoing NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025. Bookings for BE 6 and XEV 9e are now open in the Himalayan Kingdom. Let’s check out the details.
    Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e – Variants on offer
    BE 6 in Nepal is available in three variants – Pack One Above, Pack Two and Pack Three Select. On the other hand, the XEV 9e is available in Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three variants. Prices start at NPR 57 lakh for BE 6 and NPR 69 lakh for XEV 9e. That’s Rs 35.66 lakh and Rs 43.17 lakh, respectively.
    Mahindra XEV 9e Launched in Nepal
    In India, Mahindra BE 6 is available at a starting price of Rs 18.90 lakh (no charger option). Cost with the 7.2 kW and the 11.2 kW charger is Rs 19.40 lakh and Rs 19.65 lakh, respectively. Similarly, the XEV 9e is available at a starting price of Rs 21.90 lakh (no charger). Base variant price with the 7.2 kW charger is Rs 22.40 lakh. Customers choosing the 11.2 kW charger have to pay Rs 22.65 lakh.
    Prices are on the higher side in Nepal, as the country imposes significant import duty. For ICE cars, Nepal has import duty in the range of 60% to 240%, depending on the engine capacity. Import duty is relatively less for EVs and it is based on the power output.
    Lower output electric motors for Nepal
    In a move that is likely aimed at reducing import duties, Mahindra is offering the BE 6 and XEV 9e in Nepal with lower output motors. Most variants are powered by a 99-kW electric motor. The XEV 9e Pack Three variant offers the best performance, equipped with a 199-kW electric motor. In comparison, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e in India have power output of 170 kW or 210 kW, based on the variant.
    Mahindra sends its vehicles to Nepal as CBUs, since there is no local manufacturing or assembly unit. Sales and service are done by Agni Mahindra, the official distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal. It is the sole distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal and has been active for the last three decades.
    Since the battery pack capacity is the same as in India, the range is not impacted. BE 6 in Nepal is being offered with the 59-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 557 km (MIDC P1+P2). The XEV 9e in Nepal is being offered with the 79-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 656 km. In India, both SUVs have the 59-kWh and the 79-kWh battery pack options, based on the variant. Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e utilize LFP battery packs, which are known for their safety, reliability and long life.
    Equipment list
    Both SUVs offer a comprehensive range of premium features. Some of the key highlights include a race-inspired digital cockpit (BE 6), cinematic triple-screen display (XEV 9e), Sonic Studio by Harman Kardon and VisionX augmented-reality heads-up display. Users can access preset themes of Calm, Cozy and Club via the LiveYourMood function. Safety kit is pretty robust with ADAS Level 2 for BE 6 and ADAS Level 2+ for XEV 9e. Other highlights include a driver monitoring system and a 360° view camera setup. More

    Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 Variant First Look Review – Raising The Bar!

    Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 VariantAfter redefining India’s mainstream EV segment, Mahindra is on a mission to expand EV penetration in the country. The company plans to achieve it with a versatile variant lineup for XEV 9e and to sort of eat into the ICE SUV’s pie. In that regard, Mahindra has launched Pack Two B79 variant of XEV 9e. We had a first look at this new variant in Mumbai. Let’s take a closer look at features and equipment through a detailed walkaround.
    XEV 9e Pack Two B79 Variant
    Mahindra is launching its product offensive in the Indian market against rival electric and ICE SUVs with the new XEV 9e Pack Two B79 variant. This new variant is aimed at expanding the variant lineup in a new direction and hit new horizons and price brackets. XEV 9e Pack Two B79 variant redefines value quotient for buyers within this price bracket.
    [embedded content]
    Pricing is the name of the game here and XEV 9e Pack Two B79 variant costs Rs 26.5 lakh (Ex-sh). When compared to the Pack Three B79 variant, XEV 9e Pack Two B79 variant is Rs 4 lakh more affordable. Where on-road prices are concerned, Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two falls in the Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh price bracket.
    Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 Variant
    With Pack Two B79 variants, Mahindra is not only targeting rival electric SUVs, but it is also taking on ICE SUVs as the large 79 kWh battery pack promises 500+ km real world range on a single charge that will be enough for almost all Indian SUV buyers. The Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh (OTR) price bracket commands over 5,000 units per month. Tapping into these price brackets, Mahindra aims to boost sales of XEV 9e along with achieving higher EV penetration.

    EV ownership in India has its perks too as one can enjoy road tax benefits in 25+ states and UTs in India. Also, there is a higher 40% depreciation benefit with EVs as opposed to 35% on ICE vehicles. Maharashtra state has a Rs 1.5 lakh incentive on EVs as well. Where total ownership costs are concerned, one can save around Rs 5.5 lakh for 90,000 km over a period of 5 years, when compared to ICE SUVs.

    Generous Features, Creature Comforts
    Mahindra has ensured that XEV 9e Pack Two variants offer an extensive range of features and creature comforts from Pack Three, at lower prices. The new Pack Two B79 variant does not feel under-equipped in any way. XEV 9e Pack Two is virtually indistinguishable from the top-spec Pack Three.
    Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 Interiors
    On the outside, Pack Two variants offer R19 alloy wheels, illuminated logo, flush door handles, LED headlights with connected LED DRL signature, LED connected tail lights, fog lights with cornering function, panoramic Infinity glass roof, laminated door glass and more. On the inside, XEV 9e Pack Two variants look and feel more or less the same as Pack Three. Mahindra is offering the same triple 12.3-inch screen layout in Pack Two with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

    Mahindra has also carried over leatherette seat upholstery & interior trims, XUV700-like interior layout, 16-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system, 5G connectivity, host of apps, BYOD solution, wireless charging pad, push-button start, 65W fast Type-C USB ports, powered driver’s seat, auto-folding ORVM, auto-dimming IRVM, dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, electronic parking brake and more.
    Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 Boot
    In terms of safety features, there is no compromise with XEV 9e Pack Two variants.

    Performance
    Mechanically, there is no difference between Pack Two and Pack Three with B79 battery pack equipped variants. Mahindra XEV 9e is the first monocoque D SUV in India to break the barrier of FWD layout as it comes with RWD as standard. This unlocks the fun quotient for buyers when compared to the sea of FWD D Segment SUVs on sale in India. With smaller 59 kWh battery pack equipped variants, we get 228 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of peak torque. Which is higher than all the monocoque D Segment SUVs in India.
    Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79
    Variants with larger 79 kWh battery pack raises the performance ceiling to 282 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of peak torque allowing for 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.8s and 202 km/h top speed. Mahindra XEV 9e remains the first D Segment SUV in India to bring performance like this to the masses. Falling in the Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh (OTR) price bracket, Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 variant might prove to be the best-selling within XEV 9e’s variant lineup in near future.

    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Variant First Look Review – C SUVs Beware!

    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 VariantMahindra is among the pioneering brands in the highly competitive Indian automotive market. With the launch of BE 6, Mahindra infused excitement in C SUV Segment and unshackled Indian SUV buyers from dull and dreary FWD+Monocoque formula. It is the first C SUV in India to raise the bar in terms of performance too, offering exhilarating dynamism.
    Now, the company is on a mission to meticulously craft new variants of BE 6 that will significantly improve on its VFM quotient by fitting in multiple price brackets. In this regard, the newly launched Pack Two B79 variant is a prime example. We recently had a first look at this new variant of BE 6 in Mumbai and here’s why we think it is a gamechanger among ICE and Electric C SUVs.
    [embedded content]
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Variant – Benefits for Buyers
    Rs 3.4 lakh (Ex-sh). That’s how much more affordable Mahindra’s new Pack Two B79 variant of BE 6 is, when compared to the Pack Three B79 variant. Priced at Rs 23.5 lakh (Ex-sh), BE 6 Pack Two B79 redefines value quotient to both ICE SUV buyers and Electric SUV buyers in the Rs 20 lakh to 25 lakh price bracket.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Variant
    This is a big deal as the Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh (OTR) price bracket in India attracts around 10,000 units per month in sales. By tapping into this price bracket, Mahindra is shooting for higher volumes and greater EV penetration. With BE 6 Pack Two B79 variant, Mahindra is not only competing with rival eSUVs, but also ICE SUVs in this segment.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Variant
    That is because the larger B79 battery promises 500+ km real-world range with AC on, which is more than enough for most SUV owners for their driving needs. Bringing this higher range in the Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh (OTR) price point is something unique to BE 6 and rivals don’t even come close.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Variant
    Owning an EV in India has its perks too. For starters, one can enjoy road tax benefits in 25+ states and UTs in India. Then there is a higher 40% depreciation benefit as opposed to 35% on ICE vehicles and a Rs 1.5 lakh incentive in Maharashtra. One can save around Rs 5.5 lakh on total ownership costs for 90,000 km over a period of 5 years, when compared to a rival ICE SUV.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Interiors
    Generous Features, Creature Comforts
    BE 6 Pack Two starts from Rs 21.9 lakh (Ex-sh) and is almost as well-equipped as Pack Three, while costing Rs 3.4 lakh less (Ex-sh). The only way you can distinguish BE 6 Pack Two from Pack Three is the smaller LED DRL and tail light signature. On the outside, Pack Two variants offer R19 alloy wheels, illuminated logo, flush door handles, LED headlights and tail lights, fog lights with cornering function, panoramic Infinity glass roof, laminated door glass and more.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Interiors
    On the inside, BE 6 Pack Two variants look and feel more or less the same as Pack Three. Same dual 12.3-inch infotainment and instrumentation system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are carried over. Even the fighter jet-like futuristic dashboard and centre console seen in Pack Three has been carried over in Pack Two.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Interiors
    Other notable interior elements in Pack Two are leatherette seat upholstery & interior trims, toggle-style roof-mounted vehicular controls, 16-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system, 5G connectivity, host of apps, BYOD solution, wireless charging pad, push-button start, 65W fast Type-C USB ports, auto-dimming IRVM, dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, electronic parking brake and more.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Boot
    Even the boot and frunk have been carried over including the pneumatic bonnet struts. Where safety is concerned, there is no compromise with BE 6 Pack Two. Mahindra is offering 6 airbags, ESP, ABS, all-wheel disc brakes, brake-by-wire tech, brake booster, TPMS, front and rear parking sensors, parking camera, auto headlights, rain-sensing wipers and Level 2 ADAS with 1 radar and 1 vision camera, among others.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Frunk
    Performance
    Where performance is concerned, rivals can’t hold a candle to Mahindra BE 6. It just is the most ferocious and the most sophisticated in India’s C SUV segment. BE 6 is the only RWD monocoque C SUV on sale in India, which unlocks the fun quotient for buyers. Pack Two B79 variant brings 282 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of peak torque allowing for 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.2s and 202 km/h top speed.
    Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 Variant
    Not a single rival offers this level of performance in C SUV segment. With smaller 59 kWh battery pack, we get 228 bhp and 380 Nm, which is still higher than all of its C SUV rivals across ICE and EV realms. BE 6 is also the only C SUV to offer rear independent suspension with frequency dependent damping, unlocking sophisticated driving experience. All these elements combined, Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two B79 is likely to be the most sought after variant in the future.

    Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e – New Variants Homologated, Details

    Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6 New Variants Homologated
    With the launch of BE 6 and XEV 9e, Mahindra has set a new precedent for electric vehicles in India to follow. These are easily the most exciting and futuristic electric vehicles to have ever launched in mainstream Indian car market.
    Recently, Mahindra expanded the variant lineup of BE 6 and XEV 9e with Pack Two B79 variants, which outshined the competition with immense VFM quotient. Mahindra will further expand the variant lineup as suggested by recent homologation documents that have leaked on the internet. Let’s take a closer look.
    BE 6 and XEV 9e 4 New Variants
    After launching Pack Two B79 variants of BE 6 and XE 9e, Mahindra is applying a similar strategy to further expand the variant lineup. This time, Mahindra has turned its gaze towards Pack Three and Pack Three Select trim levels to carve out more variants with versatile battery options to have a wider reach than what was announced at launch.
    Mahindra BE 6 New Variants Homologated
    Speaking of announcements at launch, BE 6 and XEV 9e Pack Two trim was strictly limited to a 59 kWh battery pack. This was changed recently based on customer feedback and Mahindra launched Pack Two with a larger 79 kWh battery pack. Now we can see new variants carved out of BE 6 and XEV 9e based on a similar strategy.
    As per the leaked documents, Mahindra has created more variants of Pack Three and Pack Three Select trim levels of BE 6 and XEV 9e. At launch, Pack Three Select trim of BE 6 and XEV 9e was strictly limited to a 59 kWh battery and the top-spec Pack Three of BE 6 and XEV 9e only got a larger 79 kWh battery pack.
    Where do they fit in?
    Now, BE 6 and XEV 9e will soon get Pack Three Select B79 (79 kWh battery) and Pack Three B59 (59 kWh battery) variants. This means, Pack Three Select trim will get an option for a larger 79 kWh battery pack which promises a range of up to 656 km and Pack Three trim will get an option for a smaller 59 kWh battery pack.
    Mahindra XEV 9e New Variants Homologated
    These new variants will cater to buyers looking for more features than Pack Two B79 with a larger battery pack for range needs and buyers who don’t need all that range, but crave for all the bells and whistles BE 6 and XEV 9e offers. When launched, Pack Three Select B79 and Pack Three B59 variants of BE 6 and XEV 9e are likely to boost sales further. More

    Mahindra Ups the Game: BE 6, XEV 9e Pack Two 79 kWh Variants Outshine Competition

    Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6India’s leading SUV manufacturer, Mahindra Auto, is stepping up its game in the premium electric vehicle segment with the introduction of new 79 kWh battery variants for its Mahindra Electric Origin SUVs — the BE 6 and XEV 9e.
    This is a major step forward in addressing one of the most consistent demands from EV buyers — a larger battery pack that delivers greater real-world range, especially in metro cities where 500+ km on a single charge is a key expectation. By making this 79 kWh battery pack more accessible, Mahindra is not only expanding its premium EV lineup but also actively easing the shift towards electric mobility. It lowers the barrier for consumers seeking longer range without a steep jump in price, thereby accelerating mainstream EV adoption in India.

    BE 6 Pack Two 79: Big Battery, Bigger Value
    India’s most talked-about electric SUV, the BE 6, has captured attention since its first reveal. With the launch of the new Pack Two 79 kWh variant, Mahindra has made the BE 6 an even more compelling proposition, widening its appeal to more buyers than before. Priced at Rs 23.5 lakh, this new variant is approximately Rs 3.5 lakh more affordable than the Pack Three 79 kWh version.
    Importantly, Mahindra has ensured that the Pack Two 79 kWh retains most of the features and capabilities of the Pack Three, so buyers don’t feel shortchanged. Compared to a recently launched rival electric SUV, the BE 6 Pack Two 79 kWh is around Rs 1.5 lakh more affordable while offering even more value.

    Feature-Packed and Future-Ready
    The Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two 79 kWh stands tall as one of the most feature-rich electric SUVs in its class. It impresses across every department — from performance and safety to design and tech. With a powerful motor (up to 210 kW), superfast charging (20% to 80% in just 20 minutes), and adaptive cruise control, it’s engineered for both daily drives and long-distance adventures.
    Mahindra has packed it with cutting-edge elements like dual super screens, 5G connectivity, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, and even built-in Amazon Alexa. Premium touches such as leatherette interiors, fixed glass infinity roof, Dolby Atmos-enabled 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio, and rain-sensing wipers elevate comfort.

    Safety is equally robust with 6 airbags, Level-2 ADAS, all-wheel disc brakes, and driver drowsiness detection. With thoughtful touches like cooled console storage, 65W Type-C fast chargers, and a spacious frunk and trunk combo, the BE 6 Pack Two is more than just an EV — it’s a benchmark for what the modern Indian electric SUV experience should be.

    Remarkably, all this comes while undercutting its closest rival by Rs 1.5 lakh, making the BE 6 Pack Two 79 kWh one of the strongest value-for-money propositions in its class.

    XEV 9e Pack Two: Luxury + Range, Reimagined
    The more luxurious and mature XEV 9e now also benefits from the addition of the larger 79 kWh battery option in its Pack Two trim. Priced at Rs 26.5 lakh (ex-showroom), this new Pack Two 79 kWh variant is nearly Rs 4 lakh more affordable than the top-end Pack Three variant. When lined up against its most immediate RWD rival launched recently, the XEV 9e Pack Two still manages to undercut it by around Rs 1 lakh.
    Crucially, the XEV 9e Pack Two brings more to the table, especially in the powertrain department. The larger 79 kWh battery promises an impressive 656 km range, while its 282 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of torque easily outshine the rival’s RWD performance figures. With faster AC charging of up to 11.2 kW and robust DC fast charging, the XEV 9e Pack Two 79 kWh ensures a premium and future-ready ownership experience.

    Triple Screens, Dolby Atmos, Chat-GPT — It’s All Here
    Its Coast-to-Coast triple screens (31.24 cm x3) and Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered infotainment make the in-cabin experience truly futuristic, while Sonic Studio by Mahindra with 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio and Dolby Atmos creates a rich auditory environment.
    Safety is front and center with 6 airbags, Level-2 ADAS, driver drowsiness detection, all-wheel disc brakes, and advanced electronic safety systems. The XEV 9e Pack Two also nails comfort and convenience with features like a 6-way powered driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, and even a tonneau cover in the boot.

    The vehicle’s design adds to its appeal with LED lighting, a fixed glass infinity roof, leatherette interiors, and illuminated logos. From tech to practicality and luxury, the XEV 9e Pack Two 79 kWh delivers a flagship experience without flagship pricing — a true game-changer in the premium electric SUV space.

    Making High-Range EVs More Accessible Than Ever
    With the launch of the BE 6 Pack Two 79 kWh and XEV 9e Pack Two 79 kWh variants, Mahindra is strategically expanding its electric SUV portfolio by making higher range and superior performance more accessible beyond just the top-end trims. This move perfectly aligns with Mahindra’s commitment to democratise advanced technology and sustainable mobility for Indian SUV buyers. By bringing premium features and cutting-edge electrification to a broader audience at competitive price points, Mahindra is further strengthening its position as a forward-thinking leader in India’s evolving automotive landscape.

    Mahindra Vision.S Concept Teased – Could It Be Electric Scorpio or Pickup?

    Mahindra Teases Vision.S ConceptMahindra is stirring excitement with a brand-new teaser for Vision.S, ahead of its much-anticipated Freedom_NU event scheduled on August 15 in Mumbai. The event name celebrates India’s Independence Day (“Freedom”) while hinting at Mahindra’s future vehicle architecture “NU” — a flexible new platform that will support both hybrid (ICE) and electric vehicles.
    What is Mahindra Vision.S?
    The teaser, posted by Mahindra Automotive on its social channels, features both the ICE and Mahindra Electric Origin logos, strongly indicating that the upcoming Freedom_NU platform will be capable of supporting multiple powertrains, including petrol, diesel, EV and potentially hybrids. Mahindra has earlier teased Vision.T, speculated to preview an Electric Thar. The newly teased Vision.S is expected to preview either the Electric Scorpio N or its pickup derivative — or perhaps an entirely new product in Mahindra’s SUV portfolio.

    Muscular presence re-defined. Vision.S comes to life this Independence Day at #FREEDOM_NU.#MahindraAuto #MahindraElectricOriginSUVs pic.twitter.com/3r7h9i4m79
    — Mahindra Automotive (@Mahindra_Auto) July 2, 2025

    The Vision.S teaser gives little away, but considering Mahindra’s product roadmap and the hashtag Freedom_NU, it may preview the electrified future of the hugely popular Scorpio N or the Scorpio N pickup. These two products have been in the spotlight recently, with the Scorpio N pickup concept shown in 2023 now seen testing on Indian roads.
    Mahindra Teases Vision.S Concept
    Scorpio N Electric and Pickup Possibilities
    The Scorpio N pickup will be a global product, heading to markets like Australia, South Africa, and the Middle East. It is likely to borrow the 2.2L diesel engine from the Scorpio N SUV, with a petrol option also possible to keep costs in check and meet evolving emissions standards. High ground clearance, multiple drive modes, 4×4 options, and a tough suspension setup with leaf springs for load-carrying ability are all expected, especially after test mules were spied recently with visible changes from the Cape Town concept.
    Mahindra Teases Vision.S Concept
    The Scorpio N Electric, meanwhile, could use the same rugged body-on-frame approach adapted to house battery packs and an electric powertrain, maintaining the Scorpio’s legendary off-road prowess while delivering a zero-emissions alternative.
    Freedom_NU Platform – A Flexible Future
    Mahindra’s Freedom_NU platform (possibly an evolved form of its New Flexible Architecture or NFA) is being positioned as the brand’s next big leap — designed to integrate petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric powertrains in a single modular base. The teaser’s closing moments, flashing both ICE and electric logos, strongly reinforce this direction.
    As interest in lifestyle SUVs and pickups surges, Mahindra appears to be building a future-ready lineup that will appeal to both traditional adventure enthusiasts and new-age electric adopters. The official unveiling on August 15th is set to be a blockbuster, with the Vision.T and Vision.S concepts likely to take center stage, along with Mahindra’s new hybrid- and EV-capable architecture. Stay tuned as Mahindra redefines “freedom” for the next generation of Indian mobility. More

    Mahindra Vision.T Concept Teased Ahead Of Aug 15th Debut – T For Thar?

    Mahindra Vision.T Concept Teased – T for Thar?First showcased a couple of years ago, Mahindra Thar.e remains one of the wildest concept vehicles the company ever showcased. It diverges away from Jeep Wrangler inspired design language and could propel the company’s efforts to expand its global presence.
    Now, Mahindra Vision.T Concept has been teased, which is regarded as an evolution of Thar.e concept showcased on 15th August 2023. As per the teasers, Mahindra will unveil Vision.T concept on August 15th, 2025 and it would be interesting to see how much Mahindra’s design has evolved in two years.
    Mahindra Vision.T Concept
    Mahindra Vision.T Concept
    This is the second teaser from Mahindra Auto, hinting at the possibilities of what could be showcased on 15th August 2025 in Mumbai city. As seen in the teaser, Mahindra is showing off a boxy and rugged SUV with a lot of attitude. We can see knobby M/T tyres and very short front overhang, which suggests that it may be a serious off-roader.
    We can also see a muscular bonnet with character lines, flared wheel arches, an upright windscreen and other elements which point the obvious finger at Thar.e concept. Or an evolved version of Thar.e concept that the company is calling Vision.T. In the caption, Mahindra asks viewers “Any guesses on what the T in Vision.T stands for?”.
    Mahindra Vision.T Concept
    The obvious answer seems to be Thar, while it may bear a suffix when launched in production- spec guise. Say, Thar Sports or any of the six trademarks remaining after Mahindra used Thar Roxx. These include Thar Armada, Thar Cult, Thar Savannah, Thar Rex, Thar Gladius and Thar Centurion.
    What to expect?
    At the grand stage in Mumbai on 15th August 2025, Mahindra will showcase the Vision.T concept that is speculated to be an evolved version of Thar.e concept. Alongside that, Mahindra is expected to showcase around 4 to 5 new vehicles and a new platform that will underpin future vehicles from the brand.
    Mahindra Vision.T Concept
    This event is named Freedom NU and the new platform is expected to support Petrol, Diesel, Electric and even Hybrid powertrains. We hope these new Hybrid powertrains from Mahindra are of Plug-in type and not self-hybrid type that only provide very little fuel efficiency benefits. There might be more teasers in the future till the unveiling, revealing more details. More
