Here we have listed the 3 upcoming compact SUVs from Mahindra that have already been caught on camera testing on public roads
Mahindra & Mahindra is gearing up for a busy year ahead with a string of SUV launches planned. The lineup will include all-new models, updated versions of existing favourites and a handful of electric derivatives. Both ICE and EV portfolios are set for action as multiple test mules have already been caught on Indian roads in recent weeks.
We’ve picked out three upcoming compact Mahindra SUVs that are deep into testing:
1. 3-Door Mahindra Thar Facelift:
The Mahindra Thar three-door has been on test several times in recent months. The updates seem to borrow cues from the Thar Roxx – hinting at revisions to the bumpers, grille design, lighting elements and even the alloy wheel pattern. Mahindra is said to be working on a refreshed cabin which will mimic features found in its five-door sibling.

As for the performance, a 1.5L diesel, a 2.0L petrol and a 2.2L diesel engine will continue. The transmission duties will be handled by a six-speed manual and a six-speed torque converter automatic unit.
2. Mahindra XUV 3XO EV:
To be positioned below the XUV400 in Mahindra’s EV lineup, the upcoming SUV will serve as the brand’s new entry-level electric offering. A driving range of around 450 km is being speculated which should make it a practical choice for everyday as well as long distance use. While the design and cabin layout will stay closely aligned with the ICE version, Mahindra is expected to introduce subtle changes inside and outside to give it a distinct EV character.

3. New Compact SUV:
At the Freedom_NU event in Mumbai, Mahindra pulled the wraps off four fresh concepts, hinting at its next wave of SUVs. Among them, the Vision S stood out – a compact SUV that borrows styling inspiration from the Scorpio N. Test prototypes of the model have already been spotted, and if all goes to plan, it could be heading to showrooms in India as early as next year.
However, Mahindra has confirmed that the NU_IQ platform based models will only go on sale from 2027 so we will have to wait and see what really pans out. The sub-four-metre SUV could be equipped with the same powertrain options seen in the XUV 3XO.
