Mahindra has refreshed its popular SUV duo — the Bolero and Bolero Neo — for 2025, giving both models new variants, updated features, and revised pricing. These updates aim to strengthen Mahindra’s stronghold in the utility SUV market while making the vehicles more appealing to both rural and urban buyers.
The 2025 Bolero Neo gets subtle but meaningful design changes. The SUV now sports a redesigned front grille with chrome-slat detailing, fresh alloy wheels, and two new color choices — Jeans Blue and Concrete Grey. Inside, it has been upgraded with a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Premium touches like dual-tone interiors, steering-mounted controls, leatherette seats, and a rear-view camera improve overall comfort and convenience. Mahindra has also added a USB-C charging port and a new top-end N11 variant, expanding the range. Under the hood, the Bolero Neo retains its 1.5-litre mHawk diesel engine that delivers 100 hp and 260 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Prices for the Neo start at ₹8.49 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base N4 variant and go up to ₹9.99 lakh for the N11.
Meanwhile, the classic Bolero — sometimes called the Bolero Classic — also sees a smart refresh for 2025. It continues to cater to practical buyers who prioritize ruggedness and reliability. Mahindra has introduced a new B8 variant, adding a touch of sophistication to the lineup. The refreshed SUV gets a bolder front grille with chrome accents, reprofiled bumpers with integrated fog lamps, and dual-tone alloy wheels. Inside, higher variants receive leatherette upholstery, USB-C charging ports, and a basic touchscreen system with steering-mounted controls. The proven 1.5-litre mHawk 75 diesel engine, producing 75 hp and 210 Nm of torque, continues unchanged, ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance. The 2025 Bolero range now starts at ₹7.99 lakh for the B4 variant and tops out at ₹9.69 lakh for the new B8.
Both SUVs ride on Mahindra’s trusted rear-wheel-drive platform and benefit from suspension tweaks for improved comfort on rough roads. While the Bolero Neo targets semi-urban buyers looking for a balance of toughness and modern comfort, the Bolero Classic continues to appeal to rural markets that value durability and simplicity. With revised prices, fresh features, and contemporary styling, Mahindra has ensured that its Bolero range remains among India’s most trusted and affordable utility vehicles.
