New India’s first off-road Electric SUV Teased which will be unveiled on August 15th.

Mahindra has officially teased its upcoming Vision.T concept, set to be revealed on August 15, 2025, in Mumbai. This new SUV concept is expected to be a more advanced version of the Thar.e, which was first showcased on August 15, 2023. Known for debuting major products and concept vehicles on Independence Day, Mahindra is continuing its tradition with the Vision.T—marking what could be a big leap in design and innovation for the brand.

Vision.T Concept: Evolved form of Thar.e

The teaser reveals a rugged and boxy SUV silhouette that aligns with the styling cues of the Thar.e concept. Key elements visible include an upright windshield, flared wheel arches, a muscular bonnet with bold creases, and off-road-spec knobby tyres with a minimal front overhang. These features suggest that the Vision.T is designed to be a capable off-roader, just like its predecessor.

The Thar.e concept introduced a bold electric vision for Mahindra’s iconic Thar lineup. It featured a futuristic design with an electric powertrain and a five-door body layout. The Vision.T carries forward these elements, while also introducing new styling details such as updated bumpers and wheel arches, hinting at a more production-ready SUV compared to the original Thar.e. Mahindra’s teaser caption also asked viewers to guess what the ‘T’ stands for—clearly hinting at “Thar”, though the final name could include a suffix like Thar Armada, Thar Rex, or Thar Centurion, all of which are trademarked by the brand.

Freedom_NU Event: New Platform and Multiple Reveals Expected

The upcoming Vision.T is just one part of Mahindra’s grand event, titled “Freedom_NU”, where the brand is expected to unveil 4 to 5 new vehicles. This event will also witness the debut of a brand-new platform that is likely to underpin future Mahindra SUVs across multiple powertrains. This new architecture is expected to support Petrol, Diesel, Hybrid, and Electric drivetrains.

While Mahindra is focusing heavily on electric mobility, the new platform could potentially introduce Plug-in Hybrid options as well, which offer better efficiency and performance than regular self-charging hybrid systems. The Freedom_NU platform aims to be the base for Mahindra’s next-generation product strategy for both Indian and global markets.

Final Thoughts

The Mahindra Vision.T concept is shaping up to be a key milestone in the brand’s evolution – especially in the EV segment. It builds on the foundations laid by the Thar.e and presents a design that looks closer to production. With the unveiling just weeks away, Mahindra’s Independence Day showcase is expected to bring not just a new concept SUV, but a vision of the brand’s future in both electric and ICE vehicle spaces. More teasers and details are expected to roll out in the coming days.
