Mahindra has officially launched the much-awaited Bolero 2025 in India, continuing its legacy as one of the most reliable and rugged utility vehicles on Indian roads. Known for its tough build, low maintenance, and rural-friendly performance, the Bolero has always been a trusted name among families, small business owners, and government fleets. The 2025 model keeps that reliability intact but brings modern upgrades to appeal to today’s buyers who seek practicality with a touch of tech.
A Tougher Yet Smarter Exterior Design
The Mahindra Bolero 2025 retains its boxy and muscular character but with noticeable cosmetic enhancements. The new version sports a redesigned front grille, sleeker LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, and a bolder bumper that gives the SUV a refreshed yet familiar face.
Side body cladding, new dual-tone color options, and modern alloy wheels help it stand out from its predecessors while still maintaining that traditional Bolero DNA that commands respect on Indian roads.
In terms of dimensions, the Bolero 2025 remains a compact yet capable SUV, making it ideal for navigating narrow village roads as well as crowded urban streets. The higher ground clearance ensures easy tackling of bad roads, muddy fields, and rugged terrains, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 towns.
Upgraded Interiors with Practical Comfort
Step inside the Bolero 2025 and you’ll find a cabin that balances function with comfort. While it’s not a luxury SUV, Mahindra has given it a practical interior upgrade. The dashboard gets a new dual-tone treatment with a semi-digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that now supports Bluetooth, USB, and smartphone connectivity. Other notable additions include power windows, central locking, rear parking sensors, and a multi-functional steering wheel in higher variants.
The seats continue to offer durable fabric upholstery, and the layout remains spacious enough to comfortably accommodate five to seven passengers, depending on the variant. The rear bench is especially useful for rural families and field workers who often carry both people and cargo.
Reliable Performance and Improved Safety
Powering the Bolero 2025 is the trusted 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine that produces 75 bhp and 210 Nm of torque. The engine is BS6 Phase 2 compliant and paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It continues to deliver strong low-end torque and excellent mileage, making it suitable for long drives and utility usage. The SUV offers a claimed fuel efficiency of 17.2 km/l, which is commendable for a vehicle in its class.
Safety features have been updated to meet modern standards, with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, and a reinforced body structure now available across variants.
