Mahindra has officially launched the 2025 versions of the Bolero and Bolero Neo in India, two of its most popular SUVs in the utility and compact SUV segments. The update brings refreshed looks, a new B8 variant, and enhanced safety and comfort features while keeping Mahindra’s rugged DNA intact. With prices starting at ₹7.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the Bolero twins continue to be strong options for buyers seeking a tough, reliable SUV suited for Indian roads.

Bold New Look: Mahindra Bolero 2025 Gets a Fresh Makeover

The new Mahindra Bolero continues to wear its iconic, boxy design that Indian buyers love. However, subtle upgrades like a revised front grille, body cladding, and a modernized bumper give it a fresher appearance. The headlights now feature new detailing, while the alloy wheels sport an updated design. These small changes enhance its street presence without losing the bold, traditional SUV identity that Bolero owners appreciate. The Bolero Neo, on the other hand, retains its urban-rugged charm, appealing to those who prefer compact yet capable SUVs.

New Mahindra Bolero B8 Variant: More Features, More Value

One of the major highlights of the 2025 lineup is the introduction of the Bolero B8 variant. This top-spec version brings extra comfort and convenience to the classic workhorse. It gets dual-tone interiors, an upgraded infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, a driver information display, power windows, and keyless entry. Mahindra has clearly focused on blending functionality with everyday usability—making it more appealing to both rural and urban buyers who want value without compromising on toughness.

Mahindra Bolero 2025: Built Tough with a Proven Diesel Heart

Both the Bolero and Bolero Neo are powered by Mahindra’s proven 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine, known for its strong performance and fuel efficiency. The engine delivers a healthy power output and excellent low-end torque, making it ideal for city commutes and rough rural roads alike. Mahindra’s ladder-frame chassis construction ensures durability, while the high ground clearance keeps the SUVs ready for challenging terrain. These mechanical strengths are key reasons why the Bolero remains one of India’s most trusted utility vehicles.

Mahindra Bolero 2025: Safer, Smarter, and More Feature-Packed

Mahindra has made noticeable improvements to comfort and safety in the 2025 Bolero models. The SUVs now come equipped with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a high-speed alert system as standard. Inside, the new dashboard layout looks cleaner, and the seating has been enhanced with improved cushioning. The Bolero Neo also gets added premium touches like a 7-inch touchscreen, steering-mounted controls, and a rear armrest, making it more family-friendly than ever before.
