Mahindra surprised everyone this Independence Day by showcasing four new SUV concepts. Among them, the most eye-catching was the Mahindra Vision S Concept, which is being seen as a preview of the next-generation Bolero.
Though Mahindra has not revealed engine or technical details yet, the Vision S gives a clear idea of the brand’s future design language and technology.
A Glimpse of the Next-Gen Bolero
The Vision S Concept is built on Mahindra’s new NU_IQ modular platform, which can support both petrol/diesel (ICE) and electric powertrains. This means the upcoming Bolero could be offered in both fuel and EV versions in the future.
The design highlights Mahindra’s Heartcore Design Philosophy, combining ruggedness with modern touches.
Bold and Modern Exterior Design
The SUV still carries the boxy, strong look that Bolero fans love, but with a modern twist.
- Front View: It features a tall, upright fascia with L-shaped LED headlights, a rectangular grille with LED inserts, and a muscular bumper.
- Side Profile: Flush-fitting door handles, roof rails, a side storage box, and stylish dual-tone alloy wheels add a premium look.
- Rear View: The Vision S has flared wheel arches, a tailgate-mounted spare wheel, and unique L-shaped LED taillights.
Interior and Cabin Expectations
While Mahindra has only shown limited images, the cabin of the Vision S hints at a more modern, spacious, and premium interior compared to the current Bolero. The concept has futuristic-looking seats and digital elements, showing that the SUV will not only be tough but also comfortable.
What This Means for Mahindra Fans
Bolero is one of the most trusted SUVs in India, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. With the Vision S, Mahindra is signaling that the new Bolero will be rugged yet modern, keeping its legacy intact while appealing to younger buyers as well.
