The Bolero has always been about function over fashion, but the 2025 facelift changes that. The new design keeps the Bolero’s strong, boxy shape but adds sleek, modern touches.
The front gets a bold new grille with chrome accents, paired with sharp LED headlights that give it a modern, premium look. The side profile features new lines that make the SUV look more dynamic, while the larger alloy wheels (up to 17 inches) add a stylish edge.
At the back, the LED taillights have a unique design that makes the Bolero stand out, even at night. A roof spoiler adds a sporty touch, and the rear bumper now includes a silver skid plate, reminding you that this SUV is still built for tough terrains.
A Luxurious Interior
Step inside the new Bolero, and you’ll be surprised by how much it has changed. The cabin is now more luxurious, with soft-touch materials and high-quality finishes. The centerpiece is a large touchscreen infotainment system (up to 9 inches in top models) that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and even a 360-degree camera for easier parking.
The instrument cluster has also been upgraded, with a fully digital display in higher trims. This screen shows everything from speed and fuel levels to tire pressure and off-road stats.
Seating comfort has been improved too. The seats are now wrapped in premium leather (in top models) and offer better support for long drives. The rear seats have more legroom and better cushioning, making them more comfortable for passengers.
Mahindra has also worked on reducing noise inside the cabin, so your rides are quieter and more relaxing.
Power and Efficiency

It spins only about 100 horse power and 260 Nm of torque, but enough for city miles as well as highway trips!
The Bolero also gets an extra trick in the form of a 6-speed automatic transmission (making it easier on traffic and more fuel-efficient). “In ideal condition, according to Mahindra dollop the new Bolero will be able to deliver up to 18-20 kmpl”
We are even hearing of a hybrid soon to follow, which may take the form of a small diesel engine with an electric motor for even grater fuel efficiency (might just hit around ~25 kmpl )

Bolero is one of the safest SUV in its class and this because of those features.
Comfort and Convenience
