Mahindra & Mahindra has unveiled its all-new modular, multi-energy NU_IQ platform, which will underpin a new generation of premium SUVs designed for both domestic and international markets. As part of the reveal, the company showcased four concept vehicles – Vision.S, Vision.T, Vision.SXT and Vision.X – offering a bold preview of its future product strategy.
The NU_IQ platform is designed to be flexible and future-ready, accommodating multiple body styles (“top hats”) and powertrains – including petrol, diesel, and electric – while retaining Mahindra’s core SUV DNA. It aims to “free customers from compromises” by delivering a blend of expressive design, spirited performance, advanced technology, and world-class safety.
R Velusamy, President – Automotive Business (Designate), Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. and Managing Director, Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., described NU_IQ as a “strategic blueprint for the future of Mahindra SUVs globally,” adding that its modular architecture enables innovation without sacrificing the brand’s heritage of tough, capable, and desirable SUVs.
Pratap Bose, Chief Design & Creative Officer – Auto & Farm Sectors, said the four concepts represent the next phase of Mahindra’s HEARTCORE design philosophy. Inspired by the theme “Opposites Attract,” the vehicles merge contrasting design elements to create distinctive personalities, ranging from the Born Iconic character of Vision.T and Vision.SXT, to the Sporty Solidity of Vision.S, and the Sculptural Athleticism of Vision.X.
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO – Automotive Division, highlighted the global ambition of NU_IQ, saying it “blends innovation, global design, and advanced technology to disrupt white spaces in the automotive industry” across both Right-Hand and Left-Hand Drive markets.
The four concepts were developed jointly at Mahindra India Design Studio (MIDS) in Mumbai and Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (MADE) in Banbury, UK, with engineering carried out at Mahindra Research Valley. Production is slated to begin in 2027, with the models targeting both Indian buyers and customers in premium global markets.
