Mahindra has once again captured attention with the unveiling of the Vision T concept, a bold step that reimagines the legendary Thar for the future. First showcased on India’s 79th Independence Day, the Vision T stands as a modern interpretation of Mahindra’s most iconic lifestyle SUV. With plans for launch around 2027, it promises to carry forward the rugged DNA of the Thar while embracing advanced design and technology.
At first glance, the Vision T is unmistakably Thar-inspired. It comes with a flat bonnet, a split six-slat grille, exposed hinges, bonnet latches, and squared wheel arches—all the elements that off-road lovers admire. Adding to its modern appeal are squarish LED headlamps with vertical DRLs, a floating roof effect, and chunky all-terrain tyres. Features like a roof-mounted luggage rack and tow hooks make it adventure-ready, blending style with utility.
Step inside and you’ll notice that the Vision T takes a minimalist yet purposeful approach. The dashboard houses a vertical infotainment touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster, keeping the driver connected at all times. The three-spoke steering wheel, complete with a starter button, along with practical physical switches, gives the cabin a rugged yet user-friendly vibe. Everything feels designed for durability, a nod to the Thar’s reputation for tackling the toughest terrains.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Vision T is its foundation. Built on Mahindra’s NU.IQ modular platform, this SUV can support multiple powertrain options including petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric. With its adaptable size and architecture, the platform also ensures excellent cabin space, strong suspension for off-roading, and a surprisingly tight turning radius. In short, it’s engineered for both city life and off-road adventures.
The Mahindra Vision T is set for production by 2027. Pricing is expected to start around ₹12 lakh and may go up to ₹22 lakh depending on the variant and drivetrain. This places it below the upcoming Thar Roxx, making it an attractive choice for buyers looking for an affordable yet capable lifestyle SUV.
The Vision T represents more than just another SUV—it’s Mahindra’s vision for the future of the Thar brand. By combining off-road toughness with modern technology and the possibility of electrification, the Vision T is designed to appeal not only to hardcore enthusiasts but also to a new generation of lifestyle SUV buyers.

With the Mahindra Vision T, the company is bridging tradition and innovation. It carries the adventurous spirit of the Thar while preparing for an electrified future. If Mahindra executes this vision as promised, the Vision T could easily become the go-to SUV for those who want a vehicle that’s equally at home in the city and on the trail.
The countdown to 2027 has already begun, and all eyes are now on Mahindra as they shape the future of India’s SUV segment.
