While electric models have dominated Mahindra’s new launches since last year, the upcoming three launches will all be ICE models
With a significant expansion of its portfolio and consistent upgrades over the recent years, Mahindra has become India’s second-largest automaker by volume. The company plans to continue being aggressive on the product front, with 10 ICE and six electric launches lined up by 2031. It will bring three new highly anticipated SUVs to showrooms by early 2027 alone.
In the coming months, Mahindra will likely launch the facelifted version of the Scorpio-N. The company has been testing the updated model for a while now, and spy shots captured during this phase have revealed several details about the changes. The Scorpio-N’s design has been received well by the market, so Mahindra is planning only subtle updates in this regard.
The facelifted Mahindra Scorpio-N will feature a new radiator grille, a redesigned lower grille, and a revised bumper. The headlamp graphics may also be slightly different. New 18-inch alloy wheels, tweaked tail lamp graphics, and a restyled rear bumper may round up the exterior changes. Inside, Mahindra will redesign the dashboard with new, horizontally positioned centre AC vents and a larger, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. A 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster may also be offered. No mechanical changes are expected with the facelift.

Soon after the Mahindra Scorpio-N, the Mahindra Thar 3-door model will likely receive a cosmetic refresh. Spy shots of the new Thar have shown it featuring a Thar Roxx-like radiator grille and LED headlamps with C-shaped DRLs. 19-inch alloy wheels could also be among the key design changes. Mahindra could also introduce electrically folding ORVMs, passive keyless entry, ventilated front seats, and an auto-dimming IRVM with the upcoming refresh. The company is not expected to bring any changes to the engines or transmissions, though.
Early next year, Mahindra will likely launch the production version of the Vision.S concept. It will be a monocoque compact SUV but designed to look like a rugged body-on-frame model and slot between the XUV 3XO and Thar. The company is developing this model on the NU_IQ platform, which means it will be ready for both hybrid and electric powertrains, although only conventional 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines are expected to be offered at launch.

A squarish body and high ground clearance will lend the production version of the Vision.S concept a proper SUV look. This theme will continue inside with an upright dashboard that integrates vertical AC vents. However, the interior is likely to be loaded to the brim with comfort and convenience features that make it a much more practical daily driver than the Thar, including a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a wireless smartphone charger.
