Mahindra and Mahindra is charging ahead in the electric mobility space with the teaser of its upcoming Vision.T concept, widely believed to be the next evolution of the Thar.e electric SUV.
Set to debut on August 15, 2025, during the brand’s annual Independence Day showcase in Mumbai, the Vision.T hints at Mahindra’s bold ambitions to electrify its iconic off-roader lineup.
What Is the Vision.T Concept?
The Mahindra Vision.T appears to be a more refined and production-ready version of the Thar.e concept, which was first unveiled at the brand’s Futurescape event in 2023.
While Mahindra hasn’t officially confirmed the nameplate, the teaser silhouette and rugged design cues strongly suggest that this is the electric Thar in its next avatar.
Platform & Architecture: INGLO or NFA?
The original Thar.e was built on a modified version of Mahindra’s INGLO P1 platform, tailored for off-road electric vehicles. However, Mahindra is also expected to unveil a new NFA (New Flexible Architecture) platform at the same event, which could support both ICE and EV powertrains.

- Longer wheelbase and higher ground clearance
- Modular battery packs and scalable EV components
Design: Rugged Meets Futuristic
From the teaser, the Vision.T retains the boxy, upright stance and short overhangs that define the Thar lineage.
The Expected features of the car is Squircle-shaped LED DRLs, Vertical slat grille inspired by the Thar, Large off-road wheels and flared arches, and Five-door layout for added practicality
The design language blends heritage off-road DNA with modern EV aesthetics, signaling Mahindra’s intent to create a capable yet futuristic electric SUV.
What to Expect Under the Hood?
While technical specs are still under wraps, the production version of the Thar EV (Vision.T) could offer Dual-motor AWD setup, Range of 400–500 km (expected), Fast-charging support, and Regenerative braking and terrain modes
These features would position the Vision.T as a serious contender in the emerging electric off-roader segment.
