Mahindra is all set to launch the new Bolero 2025, a rugged yet premium-looking SUV that’s perfect for Indian families and adventure lovers. With a starting price of around ₹10 lakh, this updated model brings a fresh design, modern features, and the same tough build Mahindra is known for. Expected to hit showrooms by mid-2026, the Bolero 2025 is ready to rule both city streets and village roads. Here’s why this SUV is creating so much buzz in India.
Bold and Modern Look
The Bolero 2025 gets a stunning makeover with a bold front grille featuring chrome accents, sleek headlamps, and a new X-shaped bumper that gives it a premium vibe. Its boxy shape and high ground clearance keep the classic Bolero charm, perfect for rough terrains. Available in three colors—Diamond White, DSAT Silver, and Lakeside Brown—it looks tough yet stylish. The new Bold Edition, launched in May 2025, adds dark chrome highlights and blacked-out fog lamp surrounds for an even sportier look.
Powerful and Reliable Engine
The Bolero 2025 is powered by a 1.5L mHawk75 diesel engine, delivering 75 bhp and 210 Nm of torque. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it offers smooth drives in cities and on highways. Mahindra might also introduce an automatic transmission option, making it easier to drive in traffic. With a mileage of around 16 kmpl, it’s fuel-efficient for daily use. The SUV’s rear-wheel-drive setup and high ground clearance make it ideal for rural roads.

The Bolero 2025 keeps things simple but practical, with a semi-digital dashboard and manual AC. While it misses out on a sunroof or touchscreen, the focus is on durability and ease of use. The spacious cabin comfortably seats seven, making it great for big families or group trips.
Safety and Comfort First
The Bolero 2025 comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and reverse parking sensors for safer drives. Its strong ladder-frame chassis and high ground clearance of 183 mm ensure it handles rough roads with ease. However, some users note the ride can feel bumpy on smooth roads due to the leaf spring suspension. The SUV’s tough build and low maintenance costs make it a favorite in rural areas, though city users might want more modern features like a touchscreen.
Affordable and Ready to Rule
Priced from ₹9.79 lakh to ₹10.91 lakh (ex-showroom), the Bolero 2025 is one of India’s most affordable 7-seater SUVs. The Bold Edition, with extra accessories, costs up to ₹11.14 lakh. It competes with sub-4m SUVs like the Tata Nexon and Renault Triber but stands out for its ruggedness and space. With Mahindra’s vast service network and discounts of up to ₹73,000 in 2023, it’s a practical choice. The Bolero 2025, with its fresh look and trusted performance, is set to keep Mahindra’s legacy alive in India’s SUV market.
