2025 Mahindra Bolero Spied Testing – New Rendering Reveals Production Look
Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero: Design, Engine Upgrades & Expected Launch Date
The Mahindra Bolero has been spotted testing, revealing what could be the most significant redesign in the iconic SUV’s history. Our exclusive rendering shows how the next-gen model might combine rugged Bolero DNA with modern Mahindra design language.
A Familiar Yet Fresh Design
The test mule reveals an SUV with imposing road presence, blending classic Bolero DNA with Mahindra’s latest design language. Key highlights from our rendering include:
Upright, boxy silhouette with a high bonnet and vertical pillars (reminiscent of the Scorpio N).
Signature spare wheel mounted on the tailgate, keeping the new Mahindra Bolero utilitarian appeal.
New LED headlights and a bold grille with vertical slats, inspired by the Thar.e concept.
Updated rear profile with rectangular taillights and a redesigned bumper.
Fresh alloy wheels and muscular wheel arches for a more premium stance.
Expected Platform & Chassis Upgrades
Mahindra is likely to debut a revised ladder-frame chassis, ensuring the new Mahindra Bolero remains a tough, body-on-frame SUV—unlike monocoque rivals like the Hyundai Creta. This setup will enhance off-road durability while possibly improving on-road comfort.
Engine & Transmission Options
The current Bolero Neo uses a 1.5L diesel engine (100 HP/260 Nm), but Mahindra could expand the lineup with:
The Mahindra Bolero 2024 will reportedly get a 1.5L turbo-petrol engine, similar to the XUV 3XO’s powertrain.
A higher-capacity diesel (possibly from the Scorpio range) for better towing and off-road capability.
Both manual and automatic transmissions, catering to urban and adventure buyers.
Feature Upgrades & Safety
While pricing will stay competitive, the new Mahindra Bolero may borrow tech from pricier Mahindra SUVs, such as:
Touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.
Digital instrument cluster (likely in top variants).
Enhanced safety with dual airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX mounts.
Launch Timeline & Rivals
Rumors suggest a potential August 15, 2024 reveal, aligning with Mahindra’s history of festive-season launches. The new Bolero will compete with the Force Gurkha and Maruti Jimny, while appealing to fans of rugged, no-nonsense SUVs.
