The homegrown automaker, Mahindra is testing the production version of the Vision S concept on the Indian roads. Rumoured to be the smallest member of the Scorpio family, the production-spec Vision S is expected to be revealed before the end of FY27, by March 2027. Based on the spy images, digital artist, Shoeb R. Kapania, has created renders of the Mahindra Vision S production-spec model.

The rendering shows a boxy shaped SUV with design elements shared with Mahindra Thar and Scorpio-N. It features a flat clamshell bonnet with an upright nose, a 7-slat Mahindra grille and circular-shaped headlamps.
