Whenever the topic of SUV segment in India is discussed it is the first thing that people think of as far as Mahindra Scorpio is concerned. Over the years this car has been taking over the Indian market due to appropriately constructed body, competent performance and an unassailable brand value. But now when the automobile industry is moving towards an electric future, Mahindra also does not want to be left behind. In this episode, the company has shown the first glimpse of its upcoming electric concept car Scorpio N EV.
Scorpio N EV will be glimpsed in Freedom_Nu event
Mahindra has announced that it will bring the concept version of Scorpio N EV to the world during its special ‘Freedom_Nu’ event on August 15. This will be the second electric concept car named ‘Vision S’ which will be part of Mahindra’s roadmap of future electric vehicles.
Earlier, the company showcased Vision T, which is the next step of the electric version of Thar. The first glimpse of Vision S i.e. Scorpio EV indicates how the company is preparing to convert its classic models into EV avatar.
What is in the teaser image?
The teaser image released by Mahindra clearly shows the flat hood of the vehicle, and Mahindra’s signature slatted grille. Apart from this, contrast color elements are seen on the wheel arches and scoop-like designs on the hood. Although the entire body is covered, it can be guessed that it retains the traditional boxy design of Scorpio N.
Old names, new look: Thar.e, Bolero.e and now Scorpio.e
Mahindra had already announced in 2023 that its popular models like Thar, Bolero and Scorpio will be introduced in electric versions. Their names were also clarified by the company – Thar.e, Bolero.e and Scorpio.e. Vision T has already given a glimpse of Thar.e and now through Vision S, Scorpio.e will also be seen in EV avatar.
Mahindra’s EV strategy: Moving towards the future
Mahindra has adopted an aggressive strategy for electric vehicles in India. It is not only introducing new electric SUVs, but is also working on a plan to convert its existing portfolio into electric form. Under this, the company has developed a special Born Electric Platform, so that its EVs can get better performance, longer range and smart features.
What will be the features of Scorpio N EV?
Although the technical details have not been revealed yet, according to the information available, Scorpio N EV can have the following key features:
- Advanced battery technology: According to Mahindra’s BE (Born Electric) series, better battery capacity and longer range can be expected in it.

What will be its impact on the competition?
In India, there already are electric SUV Vehicles, including Tata Nexon EV, Hyundai Kona EV and MG ZS EV. But when an established and reliable SUV like Scorpio comes in electric version, it will have a direct impact on all these models. When Scorpio, especially known for rough-and-tough use, comes in electric avatar, it can get a different user base who wants EV for both city and off-road.
A new direction of Mahindra’s electric journey
The unveiling of Vision S is an indication that Mahindra now wants to lead, not just experiment in the EV space. While on the one hand companies are luring customers by bringing new EV models, Mahindra is introducing its old reliable models with new technology. This not only maintains the brand value but also creates trust in the customers.
