Launch by June 2027
To include sub-compacts and full-size models
Mahindra has announced that it aims to produce 10,000 units of the first NU_IQ SUV when it is launched within the next few months. The automaker has revealed that it will be produced at its Chakan plant but is expected to move to its upcoming Nagpur plant when it goes online closer to 2029.
This is Mahindra’s first SUV from its new generation of vehicles and is expected to be a sub-compact model based on the Vision S SUV that was showcased in 2025. The car has been spotted testing on multiple occasions, revealing various design elements and transmission options, including a six-speed MT. It is expected to be offered with petrol, diesel and CNG power. Mahindra could also offer battery power in the form a hybrid layout.
The 2025 concept car also showcased Mahindra’s new approach to interior design, including new screens, a new steering wheel design, and a new centre console layout. This SUV will be one of four models that Mahindra is launching by June 2027 and will be joined by the Lifestyler pickup truck, the BE07 SUV and a product refresh, which we suspect will be a mid-life update for the Thar Roxx.
