Mahindra is all set to revamp one of its most iconic SUVs — the Bolero. A fresh rendering based on recent spy shots gives us a peek at what the next-generation 2025 Bolero might look like. The new model brings together traditional toughness with updated styling and features, promising more appeal across both urban and rural markets.
Design: Rugged Meets Refined
The upcoming Bolero continues to sport its upright, no-nonsense SUV stance, but with refined details. The rendering shows a boxy silhouette with vertical pillars, flat tailgate, and a bonnet that gently swoops down to a bold front fascia. The front grille gets Mahindra’s signature vertical slats, flanked by modern LED projector headlamps. A spare wheel remains mounted on the tailgate — a nod to the original Bolero DNA.
The side profile is enhanced with bold wheel arches, new alloy wheels, and muscular lines that lend it a commanding road presence. At the rear, updated rectangular tail lamps and a new bumper add to the clean yet tough appearance.
Platform & Powertrain Updates
According to reports, Mahindra may introduce a new ladder-frame chassis, offering better durability and off-road capabilities. This platform will likely separate it from the many monocoque-based rivals in the mid-size SUV segment.
Under the hood, the SUV is expected to retain the 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine seen in the current Bolero Neo, producing around 100 hp and 260 Nm of torque. However, Mahindra might also explore larger engine options, potentially borrowing from the XUV 3XO to boost power and versatility.
Both manual and automatic transmissions are likely to be available to suit a wider customer base.
Tech & Features: A Step Up
Despite its rugged reputation, the 2025 Bolero is rumored to borrow several features from premium Mahindra models like the XUV700. These may include improved infotainment, safety features, and creature comforts — all while maintaining an affordable price point.
