The Mahindra Vision S, as we all know, is getting very close to the finish line of its development. We are saying this because, in the last few months, the test mules that are being spotted have very close-to-production-like exterior and interior styling. This time around, a new spy video has become viral online of the Mahindra Vision S, which shows this new sub-4-metre SUV from up close, revealing its interior design once again. Also, the video gives us a glimpse of how the Vision S will look in real life compared to a full-size SUV.
The video showing the Mahindra Vision S’ almost production-spec interior design has been shared on Instagram by Prince Saran Vlogs on their page. It starts off with the vlogger spotting a Mahindra Vision S test mule at a parking spot in Leh. First off, let’s talk about the main highlight of the video and the interior of the Vision S.
We can note that the cabin of the Vision S looks very similar to the concept which was shown in August 2025. The first thing which grabs attention is the dual-screen dashboard layout. Both the touchscreen infotainment system and the digital instrument gauge cluster are in the same panel. However, unlike other Mahindra cars which get continuous screens, the Vision S features uniquely designed AC vents.
These AC vents boast a trapezoidal shape and are divided into two parts. Additionally, they also feature a silver bezel which will add to the premium appearance of the cabin. The next thing which we can observe is that there is a row of buttons just underneath the central touchscreen infotainment system. Most likely, these controls will be for the automatic climate control system, which could be a dual-zone unit.
Next up is a large storage cubby under the AC controls, which will most likely feature fast-charging USB Type-C ports and a Type-A port. It could also be the spot which houses the wireless charging pad. Also, this particular SUV that was spotted boasted a 6-speed manual gearbox as it has a similar gear lever to the XUV 7XO and other Mahindra SUVs.
Speaking of new things, another very unique detail is that so far, the previous test mules of the Vision S showing the interior have been seen with the Mahindra ICE cars’ new steering wheel. However, this is the first time that the Vision S has been seen with the dual-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Mahindra logo and physical controls for the digital instrument gauge cluster and the touchscreen infotainment system.
Apart from these, we can also note that this particular test mule also boasted a panoramic sunroof as well. The vehicle was also seen with a dashcam as well. However, it appears to be an aftermarket unit, and the company might not offer it from the factory. Now, the final list of features and the final production version of the Mahindra Vision S will be revealed in the coming months.
As for the exterior design, the biggest highlight that can be observed from this video is the height of the Vision S sub-compact SUV. We can note that even though the Vision S was parked almost two cars apart from a Scorpio-N, it can be seen that it looks like the SUV will have an almost equal height. Now, we are not saying that the Vision S will be as big as the Scorpio-N.
This is because it is still less wide and a lot shorter than its elder sibling. However, the road presence of the Vision S will be unmatched in its segment of sub-compact SUVs. Other notable highlights of the exterior design of the Mahindra Vision S include a set of 16 or 17-inch directional alloy wheels. Additionally, it will boast flush-type door handles, chunky claddings and an overall imposing stance.
So far, the powertrain of the Mahindra Vision S has not been confirmed by the brand. However, as it is based on Mahindra’s new NU_IQ platform, it is expected to get multiple different powertrain options, including petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric. So far, the contenders for the petrol and diesel engines include the 1.5-litre petrol motors from the XUV 3XO. However, Mahindra could also give this SUV any other powertrain as well. The launch of the Vision S is expected to take place in the first half of 2027.
