New Mahindra Bolero 2025 – Now More Powerful, Now Smarter
When it comes to a true, strong and reliable SUV in India, only one name comes to most people’s mind – Mahindra Bolero. For years, this vehicle has been recognized in the villages, towns and cities of India for its strong look, strong body and long-lasting engine. Now that Mahindra is going to launch it in a new form in 2025, it is expected that the magic of Bolero will spread once again.
This vehicle is especially for those who want – power, reliability and a budget-friendly SUV. Let’s now know what new will be found in this Bolero 2025 model.
New exterior look – with the same old power
The new Bolero will now look a bit more stylish and modern while retaining the old boxy look.
Changes that can be seen in the new design:
- New front grille – even wider and bolder looking.
- LED headlights with DRLs – bright light at night and stylish look even during the day.
- New bumper and front design – will give the vehicle a solid SUV feel.
- Dual tone alloy wheels – which will make the Bolero look more premium than before.
- Strong cladding on the body and rear mounted spare wheel – maintaining the rough-tough image of the old Bolero.
Its high ground clearance will be perfect for India’s rough roads and village roads. That is, farm, mine or highway – Bolero will survive everywhere.
Now more comfortable and modern from inside
Where the interior decoration of the old Bolero seemed a bit basic, now a big change will be seen in the 2025 model.
What’s new in the cabin:
- Dual tone dashboard – which will look beautiful and modern.
- 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system – which will get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support.
- USB charging ports – so that all passengers can charge their phones.
- Better seat cushioning and fabric or faux leather seat options – less fatigue on long journeys.
- Rear vents with manual AC – so that the people sitting behind also get cool air.
If you have driven a Bolero before, then you can understand that these changes matter a lot. The new Bolero can now become a great SUV for business use as well as family use.
Engine and performance – New power to old trust
The Mahindra Bolero will be given the same 1.5 liter mHawk diesel engine which has been the first choice of Indian customers for years.
Engine highlights:
- 75 bhp power and 210 Nm torque
- 5-speed manual gearbox – which can now be smoother than before
- Will be updated according to BS6 Phase-2 emission norms
This engine has been designed to run in villages, slopes and bad roads. Whether you have to do hard work like a tractor or cover long distances, the Bolero’s engine never backs down.
Mileage and driving experience
Estimated mileage:
- 17-18 kmpl – Very good for an SUV
- Big fuel tank – No need to visit the petrol pump frequently for long journeys
The body-on-frame chassis of the Bolero makes it even more robust. Its suspension system is tuned in such a way that the shock is less felt even on broken village roads.
For example, if you work in the field or in areas like brick kiln, the Bolero will not only hold up but will also give you comfort.
Now more secure – New safety features
While earlier the biggest drawback of the Bolero was the safety features, now a big improvement has been made in that too.
Possible safety features:
- Dual front airbags
- ABS and EBD
- Reverse parking sensors
- Speed alert system and seat belt reminder
- Strong body structure
Although it will not have technologies like ADAS or 6 airbags, the Bolero will now feel safer than before.
Boot space and utility – Bolero’s biggest strength
The Bolero has always been a practical vehicle. Whether it is carrying luggage, seating passengers or going to the fields, the Bolero has never disappointed.
What you get:
- More than 400 liters of boot space
- Foldable rear seats – which can accommodate more luggage if needed
