Mumbai: Mahindra & Mahindra has confirmed plans to introduce three new models in India by June 2027, strengthening its presence in the SUV, electric vehicle and lifestyle pickup segments. The upcoming line-up is expected to include the production versions of the Vision S concept and BE 07 electric SUV, along with the Scorpio Lifestyler pickup.

The announcement was made by Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO of Mahindra’s Auto and Farm Sectors, during the company’s Q2 FY27 results media briefing. He said Mahindra was preparing five major product launches in the first half of 2027.

Apart from the three identified models, the company’s broader launch programme will also include a new light commercial vehicle (LCV) and an update to an existing model. Mahindra has not yet disclosed the names or specifications of these two products.

Scorpio Lifestyler pickup expected by April 2027

The Scorpio Lifestyler is expected to be the first of the three identified models to reach the Indian market, with its launch planned by April 2027.

The lifestyle pickup is based on Mahindra’s Global Pik Up concept, which was showcased in 2023. The production model was unveiled in August 2026 and shares its body-on-frame architecture with the Scorpio N.

Mahindra has indicated that the pickup’s starting price will be below ₹19.79 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it in the lifestyle pickup segment, where it is expected to compete with models such as the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max V-Cross.

The Scorpio Lifestyler could borrow its engine options from the Scorpio N. These are expected to include a 2.2-litre diesel engine producing 175 hp and a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 203 hp. A six-speed manual and a six-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox are also anticipated, along with a four-wheel-drive option.

However, Mahindra is yet to announce the final powertrain specifications and variant details.

Vision S-based SUV to introduce NU_IQ platform

Another major product in Mahindra’s upcoming line-up is the production version of the Vision S concept. The new SUV is expected to become the first production vehicle based on the company’s NU_IQ architecture.

The Vision S concept was showcased in August 2025 as part of Mahindra’s Vision 2027 roadmap. The upcoming production model is expected to be a sub-four-metre SUV positioned above the XUV 3XO in the company’s portfolio.

The NU_IQ platform has been developed to support multiple powertrain options, including petrol, diesel, hybrid and fully electric configurations. This gives Mahindra flexibility to introduce different models using the same underlying architecture.

Test vehicles of the upcoming SUV have been spotted on public roads. Spy images indicate a boxy design, short front and rear overhangs, flush-fitting door handles and a spare wheel mounted on the tailgate. A panoramic sunroof is also expected.

The cabin could feature a two-spoke steering wheel and a touchscreen similar to the 10.25-inch unit seen in Mahindra’s Thar range. The production model is expected to arrive by June 2027, although the company has not announced its final name, price or specifications.

Mahindra BE 07 to expand electric SUV portfolio

The third identified model is the Mahindra BE 07, which is expected to become the second electric SUV under the company’s BE sub-brand, positioned above the BE 6.

The BE 07 will be based on Mahindra’s INGLO electric vehicle platform. The architecture already underpins models such as the BE 6, XEV 9e and XEV 9S.

The upcoming electric SUV is expected to offer a five-seat layout. Test vehicle sightings have indicated a triple-screen dashboard, while other anticipated features include a glass roof with illuminated elements, multi-colour ambient lighting, a dashcam and Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Mahindra could offer battery pack options similar to those available with the BE 6, including 59 kWh and 79 kWh units. However, the company has not confirmed the battery capacity, driving range, charging performance or other technical specifications.

Once launched, the BE 07 is expected to compete with electric SUVs such as the Tata Harrier EV, VinFast VF7 and BYD Atto 3. Its market introduction is anticipated by June 2027. Autocar India+2

Two more launches planned by June 2027

Mahindra’s product strategy for the first half of 2027 extends beyond the three identified vehicles. The company is also preparing a new light commercial vehicle and an update to an existing model.

While details remain undisclosed, the additional launches are part of the five-product programme outlined by Jejurikar during the Q2 FY27 media briefing.

The planned LCV introduction will add to Mahindra’s commercial vehicle portfolio, while the existing-model update is expected to refresh one of its current offerings. The company has not confirmed which model will receive the update.

Mahindra plans to increase production capacity

The upcoming launches will be supported by an expansion of Mahindra’s manufacturing capacity. The company is working to increase its combined monthly production capacity for SUVs and electric vehicles from around 68,000 units at the end of September 2026 to 82,000 units by the end of FY27.

The planned capacity will include approximately 70,000 internal combustion engine SUVs and 12,000 electric vehicles per month.

Mahindra is also preparing additional capacity for its NU_IQ-based SUV and upcoming electric vehicle. A further 10,000 units of monthly NU_IQ production capacity are planned at its Chakan facility, which could take the company’s total SUV and EV capacity to around 92,000 units per month by the end of March 2028.

The company is separately developing a manufacturing facility in Nagpur. The plant is expected to add around 20,000 units of monthly capacity by September 2029, followed by another 20,000 units by September 2030.

With the Scorpio Lifestyler, Vision S-based SUV and BE 07, Mahindra is preparing to expand its presence across multiple vehicle categories. The five-product launch programme by June 2027 will also include a new LCV and an update to an existing model, as the automaker works to increase production capacity to support its future plans.
