Ever imagined the Mahindra Thar going electric but still keeping its ruggedness? The Mahindra Vision T Concept is exactly what you thought – and maybe more. Unveiled on Independence Day, it’s Mahindra’s clearest look yet at the upcoming Mahindra Thar EV, blending off-road toughness with future-ready tech. It’s bold, quiet and can handle city roads and trails beyond.
Design and Road Presence
The Mahindra Vision T Concept doesn’t hide its Thar roots. The design is recognisable but with modern twists. The LED-lit grille with moving horizontal light strips is a showstopper, while square projector headlamps with vertical DRLs keep the front aggressive yet clean. Chunky wheel arches, big all-terrain tyres and high ground clearance hint at serious off-road intent. Five doors add everyday usability and hidden rear door handles in the C-pillar keep the lines clean.
Platform and Powertrain
Underneath, the Vision T sits on Mahindra’s new NU_IQ modular platform – designed to handle electric powertrains with ease. Official numbers aren’t out yet but industry whispers suggest over 500 km of range and rapid DC fast charging. Expect that EV instant torque, which means quick bursts in traffic and confident climbs off the beaten path, all silent.
Inside the Cabin
While Mahindra hasn’t revealed the full cabin yet, early previews hint at a broad digital screen, a clean and uncluttered dashboard, and the use of high-quality sustainable materials. The focus seems to be on creating a tech-rich space without losing the Thar’s adventurous spirit. Features like Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) could make it a hit with campers and overlanders who want to power gear directly from the SUV.
Price and Launch Timeline
The production version of the Vision T is expected to arrive around 2027 and prices will likely be between ₹12 lakh to ₹22 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s positioned between the current Thar and the upcoming Thar Roxx and will give buyers a stylish and capable option in the growing Electric SUV India market.
FAQs About Mahindra Vision T Concept
Is this the end of the regular Thar?
No. The Vision T is to add to the lineup, not replace the diesel and petrol versions.

Verdict
The Mahindra Vision T Concept is not just an electric version – it’s a Thar that can evolve without losing its essence. If you were waiting for a rugged, go-anywhere Mahindra Thar EV that’s future ready, this is it.
