Mahindra Bolero 2025 – Now even more powerful, strong and perfect SUV for families
Whenever it comes to affordable, strong and reliable SUVs in India, the first name that comes to people’s mind is Mahindra Bolero. For the last two decades, this vehicle has become such an identity in Indian villages, towns and small cities, which no one can forget or ignore.
Now in the year 2025, Mahindra has re-introduced this powerful SUV with a new look and some modern changes. But is it still the same old reliable Bolero, or has something been added to it that makes it even more special for today’s time? Let’s know in detail in this article…
New identity with strong looks
The design of Mahindra Bolero has always been simple, straightforward and strong. This is not a showy SUV made for the glitz of metro cities, but it is a real SUV built for bad roads and carrying more load.
In the 2025 model, Mahindra has refreshed its look a bit. At the front, you get a new chrome grille that gives the vehicle a premium look. The headlamps now come in a new clear lens design and the bumper also looks stronger than before.
The bonnet is still high – which is its identity. In the side profile, you get the same boxy and straight finish that makes the Bolero stand out. The ground clearance is still excellent, and steel wheels are available in the base variants – very practical and strong.
The design has been kept very practical at the rear as well. Straight tailgate, strong taillights and rear mounted spare wheel – which not only saves boot space but also makes the SUV look strong.
Engine and performance – same confidence, with new improvements
The heart of the Mahindra Bolero is its 1.5 liter mHawk diesel engine. This engine produces around 75 bhp of power and 210 Nm of torque. These numbers might not seem like much on paper, but when you drive it on the road or on rough roads, you realise its true potential.
The torque at low speeds is so great that it pulls easily even in fields, hilly roads or with a load. You get a 5-speed manual gearbox, which is smooth and comfortable.
The clutch is light, gear changes are easy and the low-end pick-up is excellent – just like a commercial or rural vehicle should be.
Suspension and driving experience – The lion of bad roads
The highlight of the Mahindra Bolero is its suspension setup. Coil springs at the front and heavy-duty leaf springs at the rear – which make it comfortable even on any bad road.
Be it a potholed road, a kutcha road or a slippery track in the rain, the Bolero swallows up all the road as if nothing has happened. The steering does feel a little heavy but on the highway, it is very balanced and in control.
Interior – Simple but functional
Step inside the Mahindra Bolero 2025 and you will find a clean, simple yet durable interior. The dashboard now comes in dual-tone with subtle digital touches.
The new semi-digital instrument cluster gives speed, fuel, trip meter and other important information. The seats are fabric which are comfortable and long-lasting for daily use.
The Bolero is still a 7-seater – two seats in the front, a bench seat in the middle and two side-facing jump seats at the rear. This arrangement is especially for those who need to carry more people or luggage at once.
In the top variants, you get features like power windows, manual AC, central locking, and Bluetooth audio system – which make it a bit modern but maintain the original simplicity of the Bolero.
Safety – Safe with essential features
The new Bolero is now not behind in terms of safety either. It now gets features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensor, seat belt reminder and speed alert.
Along with these, its body shell has also been strengthened which provides protection from crashes – especially in areas where the road conditions are not very good.
Mileage – Light on the pocket, heavy on distance
The Mahindra Bolero 2025 is still one of the most fuel-efficient large SUVs. Its 1.5-litre diesel engine gives an average of 17-18 km/l, which is very good for a vehicle of this size.
Its fuel tank is also large, which eliminates the need to stop at the petrol pump repeatedly while traveling long distances – which becomes necessary especially on villages or highway routes.
Variants and price – A Bolero for every customer
The Mahindra Bolero 2025 comes in three variants:
- B4 – The base variant that has all the necessary basic features.
- B6 – Mid variant which offers a little more comfort and features.
- B6 (O) – Top variant which offers the most features.
Talking about the price:
- Bolero B4 – ₹9.80 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Bolero B6 – ₹10.30 lakh
- Bolero B6 (O) – ₹11.20 lakh
These prices may vary slightly depending on the state, RTO tax and dealer.
Who should buy Mahindra Bolero 2025?
If you live in an area where the condition of roads is bad, or you have to carry heavy goods or more people daily, then there is hardly any better option than Bolero.
This SUV is perfect for farmers, government contractors, village businessmen, taxi drivers, or large families. Its maintenance cost is also very low and Mahindra’s service network has reached every district.
Final Conclusion: A reliable vehicle, in step with the times
The Mahindra Bolero 2025 may look like the same old Bolero, but now you get new features, some styling, and the necessary safety.
If you want an SUV that will accompany you on every road, last for a long time and doesn’t cost too much – then the Bolero 2025 will be a great and wise decision.
