For years, the venerable Mahindra Bolero has been the Indian SUV, known for its no-nonsense styling, utility, and ruggedness. FOR 2025, MAHINDRA has decided to polish the Bolero up a bit for it to become more acceptable with SUV buyers of today, but without compromising on its rugged DNA. So, let’s find out if the all-new 2025 Bolero successfully walks down the path of tradition innovation.
New and Daring Design on the Outside
The updated Mahindra Bolero 2025 gains a whole new look but doesn’t completely abandon its iconic design. Its square body has a sharper, more aggressive look to it now. It is higher on novelty quotient as it brings in a fresh face with a new grille, updated LED headlamps with daytime running lights and a modified bumper for a more impactful on-road stance.
The side cladding, new alloy wheels and bold creases along the doors make it look a bit tougher. New LED tail lights and reworked tail gate, at the back, give a refresh look and feel to the rear side as well, without losing touch of utility looks of the rear end.

Under the hoodOnce the car is launched the expectations are that Bolero 2025 retains its good old 1.5L mHawk diesel engine which is likely to deliver the power output of around 75 PS and a max torque of 210 Nm. This fuel–efficient, reliable engine is the source of all power both on- and off-road. The engine comes with a 5 speed gear box which provides seamless gear changes and strong acceleration on congested city roads and off the road.

Higher-spec models also get a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, USB and smartphone connectivity now featuring prominently in the crust.
Seating is still wide and supportive, with better cushioning for front and rear occupants. The backseat is quite roomy, and the raised seating position offers a commanding view of the road, which is great for rural drivers and commuters with bumpy driveways.

Higher end models could also have an integrated rear camera, hill-hold control, ESC and ISOFIX child-seat anchors pushing up the safety rating of the vehicle.
