Mahindra has taken the wraps off the updated Bolero 2025, giving India’s favorite tough SUV a fresh design, BS6 Phase 2–ready engine, and a boost in safety and comfort. Designed for rough roads and long-term reliability, the new Bolero stays true to its rugged DNA while adding subtle modern features. Still under the ₹11 lakh mark, it remains one of the most affordable and dependable 7-seaters for both rural and urban buyers.
Fresh Design Without Losing Its Classic Edge
The exterior now sports a more refined look, thanks to a wider chrome-accented front grille, redesigned halogen headlights, and a bold dual-tone front bumper. While the iconic boxy profile hasn’t changed, Mahindra has added sharper lines, beefier wheel arches, new body decals, and redesigned rear lamps to elevate its road presence. These changes make the Bolero look more assertive without straying from its heritage.
Dependable Turbo Diesel Powertrain Built for India
Powering the Bolero 2025 is the same tried-and-tested 1.5L mHawk75 turbo diesel motor. This 3-cylinder engine puts out 75 PS and 210 Nm torque and is coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. It’s known for its high torque at low RPM — ideal for hills, heavy loads, and uneven terrains. The mileage is expected to hover around 16–17 km/l, making it a cost-effective workhorse for daily and commercial use.
Built Like a Tank with Upgraded Safety Features
Staying true to its rugged roots, the new Bolero continues on a strong ladder-frame chassis, which offers durability in tough driving conditions. On the safety front, Mahindra now provides dual airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse sensors, seatbelt reminders, and speed alerts as standard. The ground clearance and sturdy body design ensure it remains a favorite on bad roads and in demanding regions.
Functional 7-Seater Interior with Essential Comforts
Inside the cabin, the Bolero continues to prioritize practicality. The 2+3+2 seating layout remains spacious, supported by fabric seats, manual AC, and front power windows. A digital MID display, 12V charging port, and central locking enhance basic functionality. Higher variants get keyless entry, a USB-enabled music system with Bluetooth, and woodgrain accents on the dashboard — adding just enough comfort without compromising its utilitarian spirit.
Variants for Every Purpose, from Village to City
Buyers can choose from three main trims — B4, B6, and B6 (O). Whether you’re a farmer, a transporter, or a city dweller looking for a hardy 7-seater, the Bolero 2025 offers a configuration to meet your needs. Its unmatched combination of power, space, and low maintenance makes it a top pick for commercial and personal use alike.
Launch Timeline & Pricing Details
The new Bolero is expected to hit Mahindra showrooms by the end of 2025. Prices are likely to start around ₹9.79 lakh and top out near ₹10.89 lakh (ex-showroom). With improved emissions tech and fresh features, it will go up against upcoming competitors like the Tata Sumo (2025) and entry-level versions of the Force Gurkha.
For buyers looking for something tough, timeless, and ready for work, the Bolero 2025 keeps it simple, strong, and smart.
