Mahindra Bolero 2025 : Mahindra is gearing up to launch the new 2025 version of its iconic Bolero SUV, now with a spacious 7-seater configuration. Known for its durability and rugged appeal, the Bolero has been a trusted choice for both urban and rural drivers. The upcoming model promises enhanced comfort, updated technology, and improved fuel efficiency while retaining its tough, no-nonsense character.
Design & Style A Blend of Ruggedness and Modernity
The new Mahindra Bolero is expected to maintain its classic boxy and muscular silhouette, a design that has defined its identity for years. However, subtle modern touches will likely be introduced to keep it fresh. The front fascia may feature a redesigned grille, sleeker LED daytime running lights (DRLs), and a more robust bumper.
The side profile will continue with clean, strong lines, emphasizing its utilitarian nature. The rear could see updated taillights and a revised tailgate design. Inside, the cabin is anticipated to get a more contemporary dashboard layout, improved upholstery, and a touchscreen infotainment system in higher trims. The 7-seater configuration will offer flexible seating, making it ideal for families and long-distance travelers.
Engine & Performance Reliable and Efficient
Powering the Bolero replacement would likely be Mahindra’s famed 1.5L mHawk oil burner, which will be engineered to meet BS6 Phase 2 emission standards. This motor is expected to produce about 75 PS of power and 210 Nm of twist ensuring reliable performance in various driving conditions. It will get a 5-speed manual gearbox; an AMT version may come later off the blocks. The Bolero may not be fast, but it has a bullet-proof engine that offers great fuel efficiency, so you can be practical on the daily commute or off the road for that matter.
Ride & Handling Built for Tough Terrains
The Bolero’s utilitarian ladder-frame chassis and tall ground clearance also lend it well to bad roads and rural roads. The suspension, consisting of independent front suspension, and rigid leaf springs on the rear, guaranteed a good road holding, even when heavily laden. The steering might still feel a bit heavy, which adds to the car’s heavy-duty driving experience. Be it city traffic, highways or bumpy village roads, Bolero gives the driver command over rocky terrains, whilst offering a very comfortable ride.
Features & Technology Practical and Functional
Even though the Bolero is practical and not premium, the 2025 model would definitely come with these features: 7-inch infotainment touchscreen system connectivity options such as Bluetooth, USB, AUX Digital instrumentation for readouts Manual AC with heater Power windows Central locking Dual airbags and ABS with EBD Rear parking sensors With these features, the Bolero is expected to remain competitive albeit not become a city-slicker.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency Cost-Effective Long-Distance Travel
The diesel power mill will fetch a great mileage of 16–18 kmpl, which is good enough to place itself among the most fuel efficient 7-seater SUVs in its segment. The 60-litre tank of the Bolero easily gives a full tank range over of 900 km, making the need for regular fuel pit-stops lesser – a boon on the highway and in the hinterland.
Price & Variants Affordable and Versatile
The new Bolero is expected to be priced between ₹9 lakh and ₹11 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it as an affordable yet capable family SUV. It will likely be offered in multiple variants, catering to different buyer preferences—from a basic workhorse model to a more feature-loaded version.
