The Mahindra Bolero remains one of the most trusted and best-selling SUVs in India — especially popular in tier-2, tier-3 cities and rural areas. In its 2025 avatar, Mahindra retains its proven strengths while introducing mild design updates and enhanced safety and features to keep it relevant for modern buyers.
Solid and Boxy Design Built to Last
The Bolero sticks to its roots with a bold, boxy design, simple body lines, and high ground clearance. The updated model includes revised bumpers, new headlamp units with DRLs, and a slightly tweaked grille. Built on a tough ladder-frame chassis, the Bolero continues to offer unmatched durability for rough roads and heavy-duty use.
Tough Cabin with Practical Features
Inside, the Bolero keeps it functional with hard-wearing materials, a dual-tone dashboard, and easy-to-use controls. The updated version now includes:
- A digital instrument cluster
- Bluetooth-enabled music system
- Manual AC
- Power windows and central locking (on higher trims)
It’s a no-nonsense interior focused on utility, not luxury — ideal for both personal and commercial use.
Reliable Diesel Engine with Strong Torque
Powering the Bolero is the 1.5L mHawk75 diesel engine, delivering 75 PS and 210 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It’s tuned for low-end grunt, making it perfect for carrying loads, climbing hills, or cruising rural roads. The BS6 Phase 2 update ensures better emissions and improved fuel economy.
- Mileage: Around 16–17 kmpl depending on load and driving conditions
Enhanced Safety for Peace of Mind
The 2025 model includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, seatbelt reminders, and a high-speed alert system. These updates help the Bolero stay compliant with current safety regulations while keeping occupants better protected.
Price and Variants in India
The Mahindra Bolero 2025 is available in B4, B6, and B6 (O) variants. Prices start from ₹9.9 lakh and go up to ₹10.8 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s one of the most affordable ladder-frame SUVs in India, especially for buyers needing long-term reliability.
Final Verdict: India’s Most Dependable Utility SUV
The Mahindra Bolero may not have modern styling or luxury, but it delivers where it matters — ruggedness, dependability, and low-cost maintenance. Whether you’re a farmer, business owner, or government contractor, the Bolero remains the go-to SUV for India’s tough conditions.
