The iconic Bolero from the house of Mahindra has set a clear benchmark in the compact SUV segment which is taken to an alluring notch with the introduction of completely new Mahindra Bolero 2025 that will witness game changing safety, design and comfort updates while sticking to its core DNA of rugged reliability. Targeted towards urban and rural customers this new Bolero retains its hard-core DNA all along but now claims to be more premium and future-oriented.
Bold Yet Practical Design
This updated 2025 Bolero, with the familiar boxy shape takes in a design inspiration from:
- Styling: Updated front grille with chrome accents
- LED projector headlights with DRLs
- Apart from that, flared wheel arch pair well with new steel or alloy wheels.
- Two-tone Paints & Refreshed fenders front and back
Those design changes take nothing away from the overall, domineeringly SUV look of the old model, but help sharpen a design that would otherwise have started to feel dated on today’s market.

- Semi-digital or TFT instrument cluster
- Optionally, an 8- or 9-inch infotainment screen with smartphone compatibility
