Mahindra new SUV platform is expected to underpin the next generation of electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles
Mahindra & Mahindra is gearing up to unveil a brand-new SUV platform, internally codenamed ‘Nu’, on August 15, 2025, marking a strategic shift in the company’s product development roadmap. This new architecture is expected to underpin Mahindra’s next generation of electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, both for the Indian and global markets
The ‘Nu’ platform is being designed as a multi-energy, modular architecture, capable of supporting a wide range of body styles and powertrains. According to early teasers, Mahindra aims to make this platform highly adaptable, with a focus on lightweight construction, safety, and digital integration. It will likely serve as the foundation for upcoming models in the BE (Born Electric) and XUV.e series, including the much-anticipated XEV 7e and BE 6
This move comes at a time when Mahindra is aggressively expanding its EV portfolio to compete with Tata Motors, Hyundai, and global players like BYD and Tesla. The company has already committed significant investments into its EV subsidiary and is building a dedicated EV manufacturing facility in Pune.
Mahindra new SUV platform called ‘Nu’ is expected to offer longer range battery options, faster charging capabilities, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). It will also integrate Mahindra’s new infotainment and connectivity suite, co-developed with global tech partners.
By choosing India’s Independence Day for the debut, Mahindra is continuing its tradition of aligning major announcements with national milestones. This symbolic gesture underscores the company’s ambition to lead India’s transition to sustainable mobility while also targeting export markets in Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The unveiling of the ‘Nu’ platform is likely to be accompanied by concept reveals and production timelines for the first batch of vehicles based on this architecture. Industry analysts believe this could be a game-changer for Mahindra, positioning it as a serious contender in the global SUV and EV space.
Stay tuned for full coverage of the August 15 launch and detailed insights into Mahindra’s future-ready platform strategy.
