Mahindra has once again refreshed its iconic SUV, the Mahindra Bolero 2025, combining rugged performance, modern design, and improved comfort. Priced starting at ₹7.99 lakh, this new Bolero aims to keep its legendary reliability alive while offering the style and tech today’s drivers expect. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the 2025 Bolero and Bolero Neo stand out.
Design and Build Quality
The 2025 Bolero carries forward its tough, boxy charm — now enhanced with new front grille, refreshed bumper, and sleek fog lamps. Mahindra has also introduced a new Stealth Black colour option, along with stylish diamond-cut alloy wheels that give the SUV a bold, muscular road presence.
The Bolero Neo, on the other hand, gets a smoother front fascia, redesigned horizontal grilles, and dual-tone colour options like Jeans Blue and Concrete Grey, making it more appealing to city and rural buyers alike.
Both versions are built to withstand Indian roads — durable, sturdy, and practical from every angle.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the Bolero 2025 continues with the proven 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine, producing around 76 PS power and 210 Nm torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The performance remains robust and dependable — perfect for long highway drives or rough village terrains. Mahindra has introduced a new “RideFlo” suspension technology, improving ride quality and handling, ensuring better comfort even on bumpy roads.
Fuel efficiency remains around 16–17 km/l, keeping it both powerful and economical.
Interior and Comfort
Step inside the new Bolero, and you’ll notice a significant upgrade. The cabin now features leatherette seats, new seat contours, and improved ergonomics for better comfort.
A 7-inch (17.8 cm) touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth and USB-C support adds a touch of modern convenience, while steering-mounted audio controls and rear parking sensors come standard on higher trims.
The Bolero Neo offers even more with dual cabin themes (Mocha Brown & Lunar Grey), a rear-view camera, and larger touchscreen display, giving a premium SUV feel without losing its ruggedness.
Safety and Technology
Mahindra has made safety a priority in the 2025 Bolero lineup. The SUV now includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, seatbelt reminders, and reverse parking sensors as standard across all variants.
Higher variants also include rear parking camera and improved braking systems for safer city and off-road driving.
While it doesn’t have ADAS or high-end electronic assists, its simple and reliable safety tech makes it ideal for both urban and rural environments.
