Mahindra Bolero 2025 has officially arrived and it’s smarter, tougher, and more stylish than ever before. Once known primarily for its rugged utility, the new Bolero now comes with design enhancements, improved cabin comfort, and better fuel efficiency — all while keeping its legacy of durability intact.
With a refreshed exterior and practical interior updates, Mahindra aims to win over both its traditional rural buyers and the growing number of value-seeking urban customers.
Rugged Design Meets Modern Touches
The 2025 Bolero retains its classic boxy silhouette, known for strength and practicality. But Mahindra has added a few key upgrades to give it a fresh look:
-
Bold new front grille with chrome accents
-
LED DRLs and squared-off bumpers
-
Dual-tone color options and redesigned alloy wheels on top variants
These changes enhance road presence without losing the iconic Bolero character. Its high ground clearance and short overhangs still make it perfect for rough terrain and rural roads.
Trusted Diesel Engine with Better Mileage
Powering the Bolero is the 1.5L mHawk75 diesel engine, delivering 75 PS and 210 Nm of torque. The engine is tuned for strong low-end performance, essential for load-carrying and bad-road performance.
Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it ensures smooth gear shifts. Thanks to BS6 Phase 2 tuning, the Bolero now delivers a claimed mileage of 18.4 kmpl (ARAI) — a welcome boost for both private and commercial users.
