Mahindra Bolero 2025 – India’s Most Trusted SUV Is Getting a Full-Blown Makeover

The Mahindra Bolero has long stood as a symbol of strength, reliability, and rugged practicality in Indian households since its launch. But in 2025, it’s not just returning in new avatar — it’s reinventing itself for a new generation, while staying true to its roots.

The next-gen Bolero is set to be unveiled on August 15, 2025, and what’s coming looks like a massive leap forward in design, technology, and power.

Key Highlights at a Glance:

Unveil Date: August 15, 2025 (Independence Day!) – As Mahindra does with its most launches.
New ICE Platform: Built on an all-new, future-ready architecture
Premium Dashboard: All-new interior with a modern, tech-driven layout
More Power, More Comfort: Better engines, automatic gearbox, modern features
Expected Price: ₹9.5 lakh to ₹14.5 lakh (Ex-showroom)

Design: Still Rugged, Now More Refined

While the Bolero will keep its rugged, boxy stance that fans love, expect:

A bold new front grille with chrome accents
Sleek LED headlights with DRLs
Larger 16-17 inch alloy wheels
Muscular bumpers, new tail lamps, and higher ground clearance

It’s the Mahindra Bolero, but better-looking and city-ready too.

Interior Upgrade: From Spartan to Sophisticated

The 2025 Bolero will shed its utilitarian cabin for a premium dual-tone dashboard with:

An 8–10” touchscreen infotainment system
Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay support
Wireless charging, USB-C ports, rear AC vents
Improved seat cushioning and layout in 5-seater and 7-seater variants

Mahindra is clearly pushing for a more comfortable and feature-rich ride – finally making the Bolero feel “2025-ready.”

Engine, Gearbox & Performance

Under the hood, expect:

A refined 1.5L mHawk diesel engine (90+ BHP) – same engine one in XUV 3XO
Top trims might get a 2.2L mHawk diesel or a 2.0L turbo-petrol option – Same Engine one in Scorpio N but tuned for lesser power.
For the first time: a 6-speed automatic transmission alongside manual

It will also ride on a completely new ICE platform, purpose-built for Mahindra’s next-gen vehicles – designed to be stronger, more fuel-efficient, and compatible with upcoming emission norms.

Safety Gets a Boost

Safety used to be an afterthought in the Bolero. Not anymore.

Dual airbags, ABS with EBD – standard across all trims
Top trims expected to offer:
- 6 airbags
- Anti Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill Hold Assist
- TPMS and rear camera

A 5-star Global NCAP rating or Bharat NCAP is expected this time, which would be a major improvement.

Launch Timeline & Pricing

Official Unveil: August 15, 2025
Market Launch: Likely by late August or early September 2025
Price Range (Ex-showroom):
- Base Variant: ₹9.5 lakhs – ₹10 lakhs
