Mahindra & Mahindra unveiled its ambitious Global Vision 2027 strategy on Independence Day 2025, showcasing four groundbreaking concept vehicles built on the revolutionary NU_IQ platform. The concepts represent the automaker’s bold vision for the future of SUVs, targeting both the Indian and international markets, with production planned to begin in 2027.
NU_IQ Platform Foundation
The NU_IQ (New Intelligence Quotient) platform is the smart, high-tech foundation for all Vision Concept vehicles and has been used as such. Think of it as a flexible “base” that makes it ideal for each model. It is designed to handle a wide range of vehicles, from compact 3,990mm SUVs to large 4,320mm vehicles.
Using a strong monocoque design with a flat floor, this platform offers more cabin space and comfort.
What makes the NU_IQ truly special is its DAVINCI damper technology, which is combined with a 5-link rear suspension. This world-first adaptive system constantly adjusts itself, giving you a smooth, stable ride on any terrain, whether you’re cruising on the highway or tackling rough roads. It all combines comfort with control, so you get the best of both worlds.

The front toe hooks are given in yellow color, the bonnet is quite flat and high which increases the height of the car, which gives the driver a commanding position on the road.
The side design features the same design language, the current 5 door Thar seems to have been made keeping in mind a slightly more boxy and sharp design, the Thar has generally been redesigned.
The exterior is visible from the outside, a design element is placed between the two hinges of the front doors, there is a large protruding cladding, and there are 4 spoke silver finish alloy wheels.
The yellow coloured latch for opening the bonnet which is attached to the bonnet, the approach and departure angle of the Vison T also allows for off-roading.
