Mahindra Vision SXT 2025: Mahindra’s Rugged Electric Pickup

The Mahindra Vision SXT is a super exciting Mahindra & Mahindra, which was presented in concept form at the Freedom NU celebration (August 15, 2025) in Mumbai. Built on the Scorpio-N platform, this tough and rugged pick-up truck represents the evolution of the Global Pick Up concept H600 presented in 2023, combining a strong design, off-road capabilities, and EV technology.

Built on the new Freedom NU platform, it supports petrol, diesel, hybrid, and electric variants, positioning it as a versatile contender in the pickup segment. To make sure you are up to date on this interesting proposition, we are opening up the Mahindra Vision SXT in detail, through specs, features, pricing, release date, design, powertrains, and competition.

Mahindra Vision SXT Price in India (2025-2026)

The Mahindra Vision SXT is the premium vehicle based on the Scorpio-N platform that’s scheduled to commence production at the price point range of INR 20 lakh – 25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). On-road costs are city dependent as it also includes RTO (and insurance) prices – the ranges for Delhi sit between ₹23 to ₹29 lakh. Just like with diesel and petrol, the EV will certainly be more expensive.

Mahindra Vision SXT Launch Date

The Mahindra Vision SXT concept was unveiled on August 15, 2025, at Mahindra’s Freedom NU event, alongside Vision S, Vision T, and Vision X concepts.The production model is scheduled for a soft launch at Auto Expo 2026 and to go on sale in India from August 2026, and then other markets including Australia and South Africa.

Exterior Design and Styling

The Mahindra Vision SXT has a tough-as-nails muscular shape that sick off-road looks with a sense of modern style:

• Front fascia: As per the new Tata SUV, there is this upright grille with the creased clamshell hood that gets exposed latches, C-shaped LED headlights that give you the idea of where your headlight design came from and a protruding bumper with skid plates to impose the presence.
• Side Profile: Flared wheel arches with body cladding, 20-inch chunky off-road tyres (likely Dunlop or MRF), external door hinges, and protruding turn indicators. Dimensions (based on Scorpio-N): ~4,700 mm long, ~1,900 mm wide, ~1,850 mm tall, with a 2,750 mm wheelbase.
• Rear Design: Vertical LED taillights, a two-piece tailgate with a see-through lower section, and two boot-mounted spare tyres for hardcore off-road appeal.
• Colour Options: Expected shades include Glacier White, Napoli Black, Deep Forest Green, and a signature orange-yellow (teased in grey for the concept).
• The design’s off-road emphasis is hinted at by its high ground clearance (~200 mm), skid plates, and robust suspension system. The grille of EV cars is closed.

The Mahindra Vision SXT, which has a tougher, more modern look than the Scorpio-N, appeals to adventure and lifestyle buyers and was designed based on the Global Pik Up concept.

Interior and Features

While interior details of the Mahindra Vision SXT concept remain partially under wraps, expect a premium, utility-focused cabin:

• Dashboard and Displays: A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and OTA updates, paired with a 7-inch digital driver display. The system may include Adrenox Connect (seen in Scorpio-N).
• Comfort Features: Dual-zone climate control, leatherette seats, a panoramic sunroof (top trims), 6-way power driver seat, wireless charging, and USB-C ports. A premium audio system (likely Sony or Harman) is expected.
• Seating and Space: 5-seat double-cab layout, generous front legroom but modest rear space; essentially the same as the Scorpio-N Capacity: ~1,200 litres flat load bed suitable for camping or light commercial use.
• Interiors: Storage spaces include under-seat storage, cupholders, and cooled glovebox Two-piece tailgate for better access to the bed
• Materials: Recycled plastics and faux leather for sustainability, with rugged textures to match the off-road theme.

Inside, the Mahindra Vision SXT will aim to straddle practicality and premium features, though rear air vents may be missed on base trims, as with many other lower-end Mahindras.

Performance and Powertrain

To be based on Mahindra’s new Freedom NU platform, a flexible monocoque architecture capable of supporting various powertrains;

• Electric (EV): Dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD), around 300 hp, around 400 Nm, accelerates from 0-100 kph in approximately six seconds.
• Diesel: 2.2L mHawk second-generation all-aluminum diesel, 175 hp, 400 Nm, with 6-speed manual or Aisin 6-speed automatic. Shift-on-the-fly 4WD with four terrain modes (Normal, Grass-Gravel-Snow, Mud-Rut, Sand).
• Petrol (Export Markets): 2.0L mStallion turbo-petrol, 200 hp, 380 Nm, with similar transmission and 4WD options.
• Hybrid (Future): Mild-hybrid diesel variant, expected post-2026, enhancing fuel efficiency.

Battery and Charging

For the Mahindra Vision SXT electric variant:

• Battery: 60 kWh lithium-ion (LFP or NMC, TBD), offering 400–450 km WLTP range (300 km real-world at 25°C).

Charging:

• DC Fast Charging: 100 kW, 20-80% in 30-35 minutes
• AC Charging: 11 kW onboard charger, 0–100% in ~6-7 hours via wallbox
• Features: Optimized battery thermal management and regenerative braking. CCS2 charging support, will come with India specific adapters compatible for local networkadfads.
• Range: ~4–4.5 km/kWh (claimed), which is on par with the Tata Curvv EV.

It might not be as quick to charge as the 350 kW-capable Hyundai Ioniq 5, but that kind of charging speed would hardly suit the Mahindra Vision SXT’s price and segment.

Safety Features

The Mahindra Vision SXT is expected to uphold Mahindra’s safety standards, targeting a five-star Bharat NCAP rating:

• Standard Safety: Six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), hill-hold/descent control, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera.
• The Most in Safety (Next Trim Up): Level 2 ADAS including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, plus AEB.
• Chassis: Robust steel ladder-frame structure (production) or monocoque (concept) with protective skid plates and a protective, reinforced load bed ensuring reliability.

Although we don’t have a Euro NCAP or Global NCAP rating, in general, the ADAS systems, as well as the Mahindra Vision SXT’s heavy build, can be considered a good bet for safety, although the base variants are missing some important features.

Warranty and Reliability

The Mahindra Vision SXT is expected to offer:

• Vehicle Warranty: 3 years/100,000 km (India), extendable to 5 years.
• Battery Warranty (EV): Out of an 8-year, 160,000 km warranty ensuring at least 70% capacity maintenance of battery
• Maintenance: ₹10,000–15,000/year (diesel), lower for EV (₹5,000–8,000). Free first-year service is likely.

Mahindra’s 1,200+ service centers in India ensure accessibility, though pickup reliability will depend on production quality at the Chakan facility.
